TringMe opens up its platform APIs for developers to empower them to create rich web-based voice applications. TringMe’s open API will allow developers of Adobe Flex, AIR, Symbian S60 or even a pure web platform like PHP, AJAX to create web based, mobile or standalone voice enabled applications easily. For example, Social networking, Dating sites can easily integrate voice as a means of communication in innovative ways, VoIP providers can quickly deploy and offer their services using TringMe’s easy to use Adobe-Flash based web-phone or mobile devices enabled via cheap to use Mobile-VoIP, Game developers, virtual world creators can enable making phone calls from virtual world to real world and vice-versa. The platform is written from scratch to cater to the emerging needs of the internet, mobile devices and their diverse usage - in real world or virtual.

TringMe prides in abstracting the inner details of call signaling and call processing by exposing easy to use, standards based APIs for developers to essentially innovate at the applications level - be it be web based apps, apps for mobile devices or desktop based apps. Our modular structure allows us to offer APIs to be used by any kind of application and not tie us to Adobe Flex, AIR, PHP, AJAX or any such technology or platform. We are offering interface which is cross-platform and scalable on any language. Whether it’s just voice enabling a website, a social networking site (facebook, orkut, myspace etc.), integrating voice into CRM, Sales Management tool or a full-featured desktop AIR application, TringMe’s APIs will scale to your requirements.

Using the simple to use REST based APIs, developers can add telephony capabilities to their apps in a matter of couple of hours. TringMe’s APIs will allow developers to configure and utilize any number of call origination and call termination options as supported by TringSwitch (PSTN, Mobile Phones, VoIP apps, SIP URIs, IM - Gtalk, SMS-initiated calls, Web applications, Browser, Desktop widgets etc).

Developers can also create their own Adobe Flash, Flex or AIR application based on TringMe’s standards based APIs in a matter of couple of hours. Given the powerful functionality of Adobe Flash and the ease of use of TringMe’s APIs, developers will be able to produce compelling voice enabled apps using Adobe’s - Flash, Flex or AIR - technologies. For example, developers can create a fully-functional desktop phone on top of TringMe APIs using Adobe AIR technology.

Unlike some other voice API platforms/technologies/companies, TringMe does not charge for it’s platform APIs. It is completely FREE to build voice enabled applications using TringMe APIs.

To commit itself to the developer community, TringMe also opens up the source code of it’s Flash based widgets. We really want the developers to get a headstart in writing quality applications that integrate voice as a fundamental part of the internet. For e.g. if someone is interested in offering a web-based click-to-call solution based on callback technology (i.e type in your number, type in the destination number and click “call”), as offered by companies like Jajah, Jaxtr, etc. they can implement the meat of the offering in a matter of couple of hours with TringMe APIs.

TringMe’s Mobile-VoIP offering can be leveraged by developers as well. Essentially, it opens up a way by which mobile applications can interface with TringMe. Mobile VoIP customization capability is currently available to limited set of partners and will be available to all developers soon.

So let the voice enabled apps, built on a platform that’s specially optimized for telephony, begin to flow. In other words, let TringMe worry about enabling a reliable voice connection on the internet+mobile and you figure out ways to incorporate this feature in areas where it truly matters - areas like real world scenarios wherein voice can play a dominant effect - and means to creatively monetize the integration thereafter.

TringMe’s API details can be accessed at http://tringme.com/developer.php

We have exposed some more functionality through out partner-only-APIs and will make them available to everyone at a later time. If you need access to functionality besides what’s currently exposed by our platform APIs, do let us know.

We are very much interested in understanding how you intend to use TringMe’s platform. If you have something cool, we will feature it on our website. We are also putting together a place where you can show off your apps via TringMe’s website .. so stay tuned.

    Dear tringme support officers,
    we got problem when trying to run our one flashphone.
    the API was OK and we got the cookies, but we can’t reach the SIP proxy instead.

    are there any other parameter to use our own flashphone widget to work with tringswitch?
    is it enough with this url string -> rtmp:/sip//

    or we have to write an email to bizdev@tringme.com as mentioned here http://tringswitch.com/

    thanks for the support

    regards,
