# What API offerings does sipgate provide?

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** This feature is available **available only to customers on sipgate classic** . On sipgate neo, the feature is integrated in a different form.
{% endhint %}

An API is an application programming interface that can be used to automate processes and integrate them into your own applications. sipgate offers a total of two such interfaces at [sipgate.io](https://www.sipgate.io) here:

#### REST API <a href="#h_01ha6z3efnhvd567etcnc1jcjk" id="h_01ha6z3efnhvd567etcnc1jcjk"></a>

The REST API can be used to control almost all functions of the sipgate account. We also use it internally to develop new products.

**Features:**

* Trigger calls, transfer, hang up, hold, record, mute, list active calls, play DTMF tones or announcements
* change number routing, change caller ID numbers
* configure forwarding, retrieve event list
* query device settings
* send SMS
* send fax

**For sipgate products:**

* **Price:** free of charge
* Here you can find the [documentation](https://api.sipgate.com/v2/doc#/)
* **Protocol:** REST
* **Authentication:** OAuth2, [Personal Access Token](https://www.sipgate.io/en/rest-api/authentication#personalAccessToken)

#### Push API <a href="#h_01ha6z3efnjte1bbm7r3fvhbmy" id="h_01ha6z3efnjte1bbm7r3fvhbmy"></a>

With this Push API, you can **to** **real time** influence incoming and outgoing calls by script. As a user, you store a URL in our system that is called during phone calls in order to inform you about the call and possibly receive control instructions. **forward calls** or interaction via **DTMF keypad input** are prominent examples of the functions offered.

**Features:**

* send real-time information about calls and call acceptance to a web server
* automatically forward calls, hang up, or send them to voicemail
* DTMF

**For sipgate products:**

* Here you can find [**pricing information**](https://www.sipgate.io/de/preise)
* And here are the [**documentation**](https://www.sipgate.io/en/push-api/api-references)
* Here you will find [**examples of use**](https://www.sipgate.io/de/loesungen%C2%A0).

There are also ready-made integrations with some software products, for example [Zoho CRM](https://www.sipgate.de/funktionen/zoho-cti-mit-business-telefonie).

#### XML-RPC API <a href="#h_01ha6z3efn4yz15jbe8q5mj731" id="h_01ha6z3efn4yz15jbe8q5mj731"></a>

{% hint style="warning" %}
**The XML-RPC API was shut down on January 1, 2022.**
{% endhint %}

#### GitHub <a href="#h_01ha6z3efn4bhrw8w1h89yeh3q" id="h_01ha6z3efn4bhrw8w1h89yeh3q"></a>

At [GitHub](https://github.com/sipgate-io) we explain how you can use the API in general. We also provide information here about specific ways of using the API in connection with your sipgate account.
