Receive Fax

Starts a fax session on an inbound call and receives a tif file to the Aculab media file store.

Received tif files are available immediately to play within an application, but generally take a few seconds to become available elsewhere. See Media File Availability for more details.

language wrappers and examples

The receive fax properties are:

Property	Required/Optional	Default	Description
next page	required		A web page request object that defines the web page to be requested once the fax session has finished. If null or no page is specified then the subsequent action in the action array will be executed.
id from API V2.0	optional	""	A user-defined string that can be used to uniquely identify each fax received.
progress page	optional	-	A web page request object that defines where fax progress reports are to be sent.
encryption cipher	optional	-	A cipher object to be used to encrypt the received fax.
fax available page from API V2.0	optional	-	A web page request object that defines a web page that is notified once the received fax is fully available to all applications and can be downloaded. The request to this page happens asynchronously and is not restricted to the lifetime of the application that received the fax. Its response is not considered part of the application flow.

Progress

The progress page is called after initial negotiation and then after each page that is received. It contains updated information regarding the inbound fax. The progress page will receive instance information containing an action progress object that contains details for the fax as follows:

Property	Availability	Description
id from API V2.0	always	The user-defined id specified in the action.
negotiated settings	always	A negotiated fax settings object containing the fax negotiation details, e.g., the modem and data rate.
pages received	always	The number of pages that have been received.

 Note that progress notifications are not returned to the application directly, but to the progress page. A page that receives a progress notification should respond with a 204 response code indicating no content.

Returns

As soon as the fax reception is complete the fax file can be accessed by the same application (see Received Fax Available Notification for wider availability). The filename of the received fax is generated automatically and returned to the application via the subsequent HTTP Request to the next page in the action result along with final termination details of the fax session:

Property	Availability	Description
description	always	A string describing whether the fax was received successfully. The string will be one of 'fax received', 'partial reception', 'not received' or 'not a fax machine'.
id from API V2.0	always	The user-defined id specified in the action.
seconds duration	always	A floating point value to one decimal place. The number of seconds for which the fax session was active.
pages received	always	An integer. The number of pages that were received.
fax filename	always	A string. The name of the fax tif file in the media file store.
file available from API V2.0	always	true or false. Indicates whether the received file is available from the Aculab media file store outside of this application.

Received Fax Available Notification

The received fax can be accessed by the same application once next page has been called. However, more general access may not be available for several seconds (see Media File Availability).
The page supplied in fax available page will be requested when the file is available for general access (download etc.). An action result is included which is exactly the same as that in the next page request above, but with the file available property set to true.

 Note that requests to this page are for notification only and should respond with a 204 response code indicating no content.
