GET/people

Function


The GET/people method returns a list of contacts in the user's phone book. 


The response returns either company (corporate) or all (including personal) contacts, depending on the type parameter.


The response returns  the following fields of information:


  • ID - the particular ID of each contact in the phonebook.
  • title -  the title the contact. When creating a contact in the phonebook "Mr." is the default choice.
  • fname - the first name of the contact.
  • lname - the last name of the contact.
  • organization - the name of the organization of the contact.
  • username - the username of the contact's Telebroad account (usually this is identical to the contact's email.)
  • email - the contact's email address.
  • pbx_line - the PBX line to dial the contact. This is like a short phone number that works only from inside the PBX system.
  • chat_channel - a specific chat address for the contact.
  • extension - the contact's extension. Unlike PBX line, extensions are also available to outside callers.
  • home - the contact's home phone number.
  • work - the contact's work phone number.
  • mobile - the contact's mobile phone number.
  • fax - the contact's fax number.
  • website - the contact's website information.
  • photo - if a company contact has uploaded a photo of himself, this field will contain the path to the photo. 
  • status - a value of 1 indicates the (corporate) contact is available.
  • status_msg - the availability message of the (corporate) contact set for himself in the Teleconsole. 
  • contactType - either "corporate" or "personal".
  • public - a value of 1 means the contact is public. A value of 0 means it is not.
  • owned - a value of 1 means the contact is owned by the user. It was created by him and can be edited by him. A value of 0 means the contact was created and is owned by someone else.
