Code Samples

You can use any programming language you want with our API, as long as it can make a REST or SOAP call. Here are examples for some of the most common platforms.

C#

/* https://ws.esendex.us/notifyws/phonenotify.asmx?wsdl was added as a Service Reference and given the name WSDL */

using WSDL;

var client = new PhoneNotifySoapClient(PhoneNotifySoapClient.EndpointConfiguration.PhoneNotifySoap);
short tryCount = 3;
var textToSay = "Hello, this is a test call.";
var callerId = "7575550000";
var callerIdName = "Esendex Services";
var voiceId = "1";
var response = await client.NotifyPhoneBasicWithTryCountAsync(
    tryCount, YOUR_TO_NUMBER, textToSay, callerId, callerIdName, voiceId, YOUR_LICENSE_KEY);

Console.WriteLine(
    "QueueID: " + response.QueueID + Environment.NewLine +
    "Response Code: " + response.ResponseCode + Environment.NewLine +
    "Response Text: " + response.ResponseText
