What is an internet fax API?

An internet fax API, or application programming interface, enables software developers to build applications that send and receive faxes using a fax server or a web service. API uses a set of standard web protocols so that you can integrate your fax document transmission 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.

Is the iFax API HIPAA compliant?

Yes, iFax complies with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). We meet compliance standards and assure transparency in all transactions. This way, your clients and business partners get the protection they deserve when using our fax service.

Our secure internet fax solutions provide the highest standards for the transit, storage, and archiving of sensitive data. These standards make iFax a perfect match for fax handling applications. You can be confident that your patient information, financial records, and legal documents are always safe. iFax is a reliable and cost-effective solution for businesses that need to send and receive confidential information.

Can I purchase a fax number via API?

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.

How do fax API calls affect billing and charges?

Fax API calls only affect your billing and charges if the transmission is successful, ensuring a cost-effective fax experience.

To fully understand how fax API calls affect billings and charges, let’s take a look at how our billing process works:

Everytime you make an API call to send a fax, our system automatically checks your balance. If you have sufficient balance, your fax queues for sending. However, if it’s too low for the price of the fax, the call will result in an error and will cancel the process.
Before sending the fax over the wire, our system rechecks your balance. If you have enough balance in your account, we deduct the price of the fax. On the other hand, if you don’t have enough balance, the transmission is halted.
After the transmission processes has ended, we will check to see if the fax successfully went through or not. In some cases, the transmission is unsuccessful fue to busy lines, intermittent connection, and the like. If your transmission failed, our system credits the price of the fax back to your account

How to test a fax API

To test our fax API, you need to have an iFax account. You can sign up for a free trial to try the API. Our top-tier customer service is readily available to assist you throughout the process.

Once you have an account, you can get your API key from the Settings page and start making calls. The API documentation will guide you on how to ensure successful fax delivery by teaching you how to make various requests and what parameters to include.
