Rates Task

Background job to manage ratedeck DB.

About rates

Rates are stored in a database named after the ratedeck_id attribute. This defaults to ratedeck if not supplied.

An account can be assigned a ratedeck; if no ratedeck is assigned, the default ratedeck database is used. The account will be queried first, then the reseller, before selecting the default ratedeck.

Fields

Name	Description	Required
account_id	reseller’s account (see first below)
description	description for rate
direction	direction of call leg (“inbound”, “outbound”), if not set - rate matches both directions
iso_country_code	ISO 3166-1 code for prefix’s country
prefix	prefix for match DID number	true
pvt_rate_cost	internal rate cost, used for weight calculation
pvt_rate_surcharge	internal rate surcharge
rate_cost	per minute cost	true
rate_increment	billing “steps” for rate
rate_minimum	minimum call duration
rate_name	short name for rate, if this field not set it will be generated from prefix, iso_country_code and direction fields
rate_nocharge_time	”free” call time, if call duration less then this value (seconds), then call not charged
rate_surcharge	charge amount on connect (answer)
rate_version	rate version
ratedeck_id	ratedeck name, assigned to account via service plan
weight	when found several rates with same prefix, used rate with higher weight. If not set - calculated from prefix length and rate_cost (pvt_rate_cost)
caller_id_numbers	string of caller id prefixes separated by ”:”. For ex.: 441:442:443 It will be converted into [”^\+?441.+$”, ”^\+?442.+$”, ”^\+?443.+$“]
routes	string of either a single route ”^\+?44.+$” or a json array string ’[”^\\+?123$”,”^\\+?456$”]’

CSV files for all actions use the same list of fields. Names of fields match the names of keys in the CouchDB rate document.

routes is automatically generated from prefix as the default or the json decode fails to parse the json array. Example: prefix 380 generates routes - ["^\\+?380.+$"].

Actions

Import

Import rates from CSV.

First, query the tasks API to learn what fields must be present in your CSV:

curl -v \
-H "X-Auth-Token: {AUTH_TOKEN}" \
'http://{SERVER}:8000/v2/tasks?category=rates&action=import'

{
    "data": {
        "tasks": {
            "rates": {
                "import": {
                    "description": "Bulk-import rates to a specified ratedeck",
                    "doc": "Creates rates from file",
                    "expected_content": "text/csv",
                    "mandatory": [
                        "prefix",
                        "rate_cost"
                    ],
                    "optional": [
                        "account_id",
                        "caller_id_numbers",
                        "carrier",
                        "description",
                        "direction",
                        "internal_rate_cost",
                        "iso_country_code",
                        "options",
                        "rate_increment",
                        "rate_minimum",
                        "rate_name",
                        "rate_nocharge_time",
                        "rate_suffix",
                        "rate_surcharge",
                        "rate_version",
                        "ratedeck_id",
                        "routes",
                        "weight"
                    ]
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

You can see prefix and rate_cost are mandatory fields and must be in the CSV header line. You can also name columns after the optional fields.

• Create the task (upload the ratedeck):

curl -v -X PUT \
-H "X-Auth-Token: {AUTH_TOKEN}" \
-H "Content-type: text/csv" \
--data-binary @rates.csv \
'http://{SERVER}:8000/v2/tasks?category=rates&action=import'

{
  "auth_token": "{AUTH_TOKEN}",
  "data": {
    "_read_only": {
      "account_id": "{ACCOUNT_ID}",
      "action": "import",
      "auth_account_id": "{ACCOUNT_ID}",
      "category": "rates",
      "created": 63693042154,
      "id": "{TASK_ID}",
      "status": "pending",
      "total_count": 5
    }
  },
  "node": "{NODE_HASH}",
  "request_id": "{REQUEST_ID}",
  "status": "success",
  "timestamp": "{TIMESTAMP}",
  "version": "4.2.29"
}

• Start the task (begin importing rates):

curl -v -X PATCH \
-H "X-Auth-Token: {AUTH_TOKEN}" \
'http://{SERVER}:8000/v2/tasks/{TASK_ID}'

{
  "auth_token": "{AUTH_TOKEN}",
  "data": {
    "_read_only": {
      "account_id": "{ACCOUNT_ID}",
      "action": "import",
      "auth_account_id": "{ACCOUNT_ID}",
      "category": "rates",
      "created": 63693042154,
      "id": "{TASK_ID}",
      "node": "{VM}@{HOSTNAME}",
      "start_timestamp": 63693042179,
      "status": "executing",
      "total_count": 101914
    }
  },
  "node": "{NODE_HASH}",
  "page_size": 1,
  "request_id": "{REQUEST_ID}",
  "revision": "automatic",
  "status": "success",
  "timestamp": "{TIMESTAMP}",
  "version": "4.2.29"
}

• Query the task’s status:

curl -v -X GET \
   -H "X-Auth-Token: {AUTH_TOKEN}" \
   'http://{SERVER}:8000/v2/tasks/{TASK_ID}'

When data.status changes from executing, the task is completed.

Once the rate import is done, check out the rates API to see how to rate a DID via the API.

Sample CSV

As noted before, query the API to see what fields must be defined and what fields are optional:

curl -v \
-H "X-Auth-Token: {AUTH_TOKEN}" \
'http://{SERVER}:8000/v2/tasks?category=rates&action=import'

{
    "data": {
        "tasks": {
            "rates": {
                "import": {
                    "description": "Bulk-import rates to a specified ratedeck",
                    "doc": "Creates rates from file",
                    "expected_content": "text/csv",
                    "mandatory": [
                        "prefix",
                        "rate_cost"
                    ],
                    "optional": [
                        "account_id",
                        "caller_id_numbers",
                        "carrier",
                        "description",
                        "direction",
                        "internal_rate_cost",
                        "iso_country_code",
                        "options",
                        "rate_increment",
                        "rate_minimum",
                        "rate_name",
                        "rate_nocharge_time",
                        "rate_suffix",
                        "rate_surcharge",
                        "rate_version",
                        "ratedeck_id",
                        "routes",
                        "weight"
                    ]
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

The CSV must then define a header row with at least the mandatory fields defined.

"prefix","rate_cost","rate_name"
1,0.1,"US/Canada Default"
1415,0.05,"San Francisco"

Prefixes will match against the E164 number with the + stripped. Longest prefix matched wins.

Any fields not in the mandatory or optional list will be ignored. Order of the columns is irrelevant.

Export

Export all rates into CSV.

• Start the export

curl -v -X PUT \
   -H "X-Auth-Token: {AUTH_TOKEN}" \
   'http://{SERVER}:8000/v2/tasks/?category=rates&action=export'

{
    "auth_token": "{AUTH_TOKEN}",
    "data": {
        "_read_only": {
            "account_id": "{ACCOUNT_ID}",
            "action": "export",
            "auth_account_id": "{AUTH_ACCOUNT_ID}",
            "category": "rates",
            "created": 63652613701,
            "id": "{TASK_ID}",
            "status": "pending"
        }
    },
    "request_id": "{REQUEST_ID}",
    "revision": "undefined",
    "status": "success"
}

• Start the export task:

curl -v -X PATCH \
-H "X-Auth-Token: {AUTH_TOKEN}" \
'http://{SERVER}:8000/v2/tasks/{TASK_ID}'

• Save the CSV

Once the task has completed, save the CSV locally:

curl -v -X GET \
   -o export.csv
   -H "Accept: text/csv"
   -H "X-Auth-Token: $AUTH_TOKEN"
   'http://{SERVER}:8000/v2/tasks/{TASK_ID}?csv_name=out.csv'

Delete

Delete rates for prefixes in CSV file. prefix is a mandatory field.

The rate will be deleted only if all defined fields in CSV file match the appropriate keys in rate document. An undefined field in CSV file means “match any”.
