An internet fax API, or application programming interface, enables software developers to build applications that send and receive faxes using a web service. API uses a set of standard web protocols so that you can integrate your faxes into your existing software stack.
You can connect two systems using an API and allow them to communicate with each other. This communication can happen over the internet, within a single network, or even between different devices.
Think of an API as a bridge connecting two apps with each other. To illustrate, imagine a customer at a restaurant who places an order with a server. The latter then relays this to the food preparation staff. An API acts in a similar fashion.

Yes, you can. With the iFax API, you can search for available fax numbers by country and area code. You can also directly purchase additional fax numbers through API calls by using JSON. JSON, or JavaScript Object Notation, is a compact and human-readable text for structuring data. It is a versatile tool that allows faster data interchange and web service results.
Fax API calls only affect your billing and charges if the transmission is successful.
To fully understand how fax API calls affect billings and charges, let’s take a look at how our billing process works:
To test our fax API, you need to have an iFax account. You can sign up for a free trial to try the API.
Once you have an account, you can get your API key from the Settings page and start making calls. The API documentation will show you how to make various requests and what parameters to include.
