Retrieve Call Information

Retrieve the current state of a specific call. This information is near-realtime, so it may take a few minutes for your call to be accessible using this endpoint.

Note: Call information is kept for 7 days after the calls are hung up. If you attempt to retrieve information for a call that is older than 7 days, you will get an HTTP 404 response.

The disconnectCause for a call can be:

  • hangup: one party hung up the call, a <Hangup> verb was executed, or there was no more BXML to execute; it indicates that the call ended normally.
  • busy: the callee was busy.
  • timeout: the call wasn't answered before the callTimeout was reached.
  • cancel: the call was cancelled by its originator while it was ringing.
  • rejected: the call was rejected by the callee.
  • callback-error: a BXML callback couldn't be delivered to your callback server.
  • invalid-bxml: invalid BXML was returned in response to a callback.
  • application-error: an unsupported action was tried on the call, e.g. trying to play a .ogg audio.
  • account-limit: the account rate limits were reached.
  • node-capacity-exceeded: the system maximum capacity was reached.
  • error: some error not described in any of the other causes happened on the call.
  • unknown: some unknown error happened on the call.

Note: this list is not exhaustive and other values can appear in the future.
