State

The state of the endpoint is examined by requesting the path /state.

This returns a JSON object containing one or more subobjects corresponding to each section requested.

Sections

Specific sections can be requested via the filter parameter. This takes a comma-separated list of section names to examine, or the special value all, which requests all sections. If no filter is provided, then a default set of sections is returned (not necessarily all).

Some examples:

• state
  Fetch default state sections (time, locale, network, endpoint, line, calls, scheduled conferences, audio, video)
• state?filter=line,calls
  Fetch the state sections line and calls.
• state?filter=all
  Fetch all state sections.
• state?filter=all&pretty
  Fetch all state sections, and pretty-print the output to be more human-readable.

Immediate and delayed state requests

There are two types of state request:

1. State requests that always return immediately with the current state.
2. State requests that delay feedback until the state changes from a particular point in time.

In the response to any state request, within each state section, a counter field can be found. The counter is an integer value, which identifies that particular state snapshot. The counter is incremented whenever any change to the state occurs (Note. there is no maximum value for the counter and it does not return to zero). If you include this counter in a subsequent state request, the codec only returns the state response when the counter has changed. (HTTP: In this case, the HTTP connection is held open until a relevant change occurs, and then the whole state as requested is returned. SERIAL: No response is given until this counter changes, at which point the whole state as requested is returned.)

Note that state can be returned as if changed without any differences being visible in the response (for example the state may change from A to B and back to A), and that some state differences do not result in a response being pushed (for example, the call timer). Additionally, every section has a local counter for that section (the field counter inside that section object), which is incremented when something in that section changes. There is no way for it to be waited-for directly, but it can be used to determine whether any detail in that section has changed between consecutive requests.

Examples:

1. Without the counter field, you immediately receive the response.

For example, request:

{"id":1,"request":{"action":"state","filter":"endpoint"}}

The response is:

{"id":1,"response":{"counter":33170,"endpoint":{"counter":54,"id":406,
"serial":"SLP1409040","dnd":false,"forwarding_availability"
:2,"forwarding_state":0,"missed_calls":0,"message_count"
:0,"standby":true}}}

2. You can use this feature to wait for an incoming call without repeatedly polling the server.
For example, request:

{"id":2,"request":{"action":"state","filter":"calls","counter":33170}}

There may be no immediate response at this point, but when an incoming call arrives, the response is:

{"id":2,"response":{"counter":33173,"calls":{"counter":95,"list":
[{"id":644,"state":3,"call_time":0,"start_time":0,"participants"
:[{"id":643,"state":2,"name":"John Smith","number":"john.smith
@starleaf.com"}]}]}}}

Requesters

Any state request can specify a requester name with the additional string argument requester. When this is made, all previous outstanding requests from the same requester are canceled and return immediately (with an error message). The intent of this feature is to allow purging of old requests from devices that know they will only ever have one outstanding state request but could be restarted for whatever reason.

If requester is not specified, then multiple outstanding requests are allowed. There is a global limit on the total number of state requests (both anonymous and named) against any API instance (currently 32) – if this is exceeded, the oldest request (the one made earliest in time) is canceled and returns an error message to the user.
