What is the difference between sipgate API and sipgate.io?

Learn the difference between the sipgate REST API and the Push API, as well as their possible uses and costs.

The sipgate.io features and integrations are based on two sipgate APIs (programming interfaces): one REST- and one Push API. With the name "sipgate.io" we refer to both APIs.

The main difference between the two APIs is when information is transferred:

• For the REST API make individual requests using your programs. With this, you can, among other things, trigger new calls, check your balance, and much more. You can use the functionality of this API as a sipgate customer free of charge use.

• For the Push API the initiative comes from the other direction, from the sipgate.io servers. The timing is not arbitrary, but always when an event occurs – for example, an incoming call. Long-term use of this API is subject to a fee. More about sipgate.io pricing can be found here.

With sipgate.io, you can combine the functions of the two interfaces and further develop your telephony individually and automatically. More about the possibilities of sipgate.io can be found in this article or on the sipgate.io website.
