Developer API
New Developer API Documentation
We've revamped our API Documentation. The static PDF has been replaced by interactive API documentation that includes a Developer Guide and Test Panel. Here are some highlights:
Speed Kills - Quick Voice Solutions For Developers
Over the last year and a half at Ifbyphone, I’ve had the opportunity to talk to hundreds of developers. In most cases, the business has asked them to add voice to a particular business process.
“Can we automate calling people to (remind them of an appointment, offer a special deal to customers, notify them of an event, etc, etc, etc)” or “can we let people call in to check on (order status, delivery dates, etc)?”
Ifbyphone Creates iPhone Developer 'Stimulus Package'
Chicago, March 3, 2009 -- Ifbyphone today announced an economic stimulus package for iPhone application developers. The most innovative iPhone application developers will each receive $1,000 from Ifbyphone for the development of an Ifbyphone-to-iPhone mashup that is selected and released by Ifbyphone on the iTunes App Store.
Easy Voice Application Development
Preferred Telephony Solution For Ad Agencies and Web Designers
For a while now we've been saying that Ifbyphone makes developing telephony solutions as easy as building websites. The idea is that anyone who can develop a website can easily and quickly develop a custom telephony solution to integrate voice into advertising and marketing campaigns.

Cool Open Source Telephony Technology at Web 2.0 Expo
Serdar Yegulalp at InformationWeek recently wrote,
"the award for Single Coolest Thing Done With Open Source at the Web 2.0 show has to go to Ifbyphone."
What is the "Coolest Thing" they are referring to? Well, as the article puts it:
Tying things together
I'm a big fan of Social Media in general. Anything that can bring people together and help create interesting conversations has a great deal of value.
Time Entry Demo using IfByPhone IVR Survo technology
Our vision, stated here time and again, is that the phone is the best technology that small and medium businesses have at their disposal. Normally it is in the context of using our technology to drive more conversations (using Click-to-call, IVR applications, Virtual Receptionist, Voice Broadcast, etc).
Some Development Tips and Tricks at Ifbyphone
While Ifbyphone's hosted suite of voice applications serves many of our clients through out-of-the-box solutions, sometimes it's necessary to go a little bit further. The Ifbyphone API is fully capable of integrating with nearly any other system or database on the Web. For instance, using several different SurVo's and a couple of NetGets, you can easily have Ifbyphone "talk" to a database hosted on your external site. Here's how it would work:
Phone 2 Directions, an Ifbyphone-powered Phone Mashup
As much as I'd like to attend the eComm conference, I can't be there in person because of a schedule conflict; if you can, try to make it to the conference, which promises to be very interesting. Ifbyhnone is one of the sponsors, by the way.
And Ifbyphone helped sponsor one of the more interesting demos, written by yours truly. To help you find the way... here's something new. Call +1 312 252 1758 to get directions to the conference location. And you don't have to enter a starting address -- instead, you enter a phone number.
