Call Rates

About Rates

System operators can create multiple ratedecks and assign those ratedecks to their accounts or sub-accounts via service plans.

If no ratedeck has been assigned, the system ratedeck will be used (backwards-compatible operation).

Flow is:

System admin creates a ratedeck CSV and uploads it using the tasks API endpoint. a. Optionally assign a ratedeck_name to each row to add rates to different ratedeck databases
Create a service plan for ratedecks a. Add the service plan to account(s)
When {ACCOUNT_ID} has a rate-able call, Kazoo hotornot application will lookup what ratedeck database to use a. If using the trie algorithm, hotornot will find the PID with that ratedeck’s trie and query it b. Otherwise, use the view of the ratedeck database to query for rates

List All Rates

GET /v2/rates

curl -v -X GET \
    -H "Accept: application/json" \
    -H "X-Auth-Token: {AUTH_TOKEN}" \
    http://{SERVER}:8000/v2/rates

{
    "auth_token": "{AUTH_TOKEN}",
    "data": [
        {
            "cost": 0.1,
            "description": "Default US Rate",
            "id":"{RATE_ID}",
            "prefix": "1",
            "surcharge": 0
        }
    ],
    "page_size": 1,
    "request_id": "{REQUEST_ID}",
    "revision": "{REVISION}",
    "status": "success"
}

Switch the Accept header to text/csv to get the page as a CSV.

List rates matching a prefix

If the ratedeck is huge, rate candidates for particular prefix/number could be retrieved.

For example: a prefix of 1256 will list rates with the prefixes of 1256, 125, 12, and 1.

GET /v2/rates?prefix={PREFIX}

curl -v -X GET \
    -H "Accept: application/json" \
    -H "X-Auth-Token: {AUTH_TOKEN}" \
    http://{SERVER}:8000/v2/rates?prefix=12223334444

{"page_size":1
 ,"data":[{"direction":["inbound"],"prefix":1222,"rate_cost":1.0,"ratedeck_id":"custom","routes":[""],"rate_name":"inbound_1222","rate_suffix":"","rate_surcharge":0.0,"weight":40,"id":"XX-1222"}]
 ,"revision":"{REVISION}"
 ,"timestamp":"{TIMESTAMP}"
 ,"version":"{VERSION}"
 ,"node":"{NODE}"
 ,"request_id":"{REQUEST_ID}"
 ,"status":"success"
 ,"auth_token":"{AUTH_TOKEN}"
}

Upload a Ratedeck CSV

Uploading CSVs has moved to using the ‘tasks’ API, which provides a more generic interface. See the rates task documentation for more details on uploading rates.

List existing ratedecks (superduper_admin only)

GET /v2/rates/ratedecks

curl -v -X GET \
    -H "X-Auth-Token: {AUTH_TOKEN}" \

Rate a phone number

This API requires that the backend app hotornot is running.

GET /v2/rates/number/{PHONE_NUMBER}

The {PHONE_NUMBER} must be reconcilable (see your reconcile_regex for that criteria).

curl -v -X GET \
    -H "X-Auth-Token: {AUTH_TOKEN}" \
    http://{SERVER}:8000/v2/rates/number/{PHONE_NUMBER}

Query String Options

The request can take a number of parameters:

Key	Description	Type
`ratedeck_id`	If using custom ratedecks, select which ratedeck to rate the number against	`string(32)`
`direction`	What direction is the hypothetical call going	`string(‘inbound'
`caller_id_number`	The caller’s number (if rates differentiate based on caller information)	`string()`
`resource_id`	Resource ID for rate filtering	`string(32)`

Success Response

{
    "auth_token": "{AUTH_TOKEN}",
    "data": {
        "Base-Cost": 0.1,
