Connecting to AirCall

To authenticate to AirCall, you can use either Basic authentication or the OAuth standard. Use Basic to connect to your own data. In order to allow other users to access their data, use OAuth authentication.

Using Basic Authentication

To authenticate to Aircall via Basic authentication, you'll need to specify your API Key and API ID. You can find your API Key and ID under your company's setting in 'Add a new API Key'. Set the User connection property to your API ID and the Password connection property to your API Token.

Example connection string

Profile=C:\profiles\AirCall.apip;User=my_api_id;Password=my_api_token;

Using OAuth Authentication

You will first need to register an OAuth app with Aircall. To create an Aircall app, sign up at the following link: https://aircall.io/partners/registration/. You also need to provide the Redirect URL that will be associated with your app.

After setting the following in your connection string, you are ready to connect:

• AuthScheme: Set this to OAuth.
• OAuthClientId: Set this to the client_id that AirCall has sent to you.
• OAuthClientSecret: Set this to the client_secret that has sent to you.
• CallbackURL: Set this to the Redirect URL you specified when applied for an app with AirCall.
• InitiateOAuth: Set this to GETANDREFRESH. You can use InitiateOAuth to manage the process to obtain the OAuthAccessToken.

Example connection string

Profile=C:\profiles\AirCall.apip;Authscheme=OAuth;InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH;OAuthClientId=your_client_id;OAuthClientSecret=your_client_secret;CallbackUrl=your_callback_url;
