Custom login enables implementing your own mechanism. Create file: scripts/custom_login.php with function custom_login.
{{Warning|1='''Correct path is critical:''' Always use <code>/php/api.php</code> (not <code>/api.php</code>). Missing the <code>/php/</code> directory causes "action parameter missing" errors.}}


Location: <GUI_INSTALL_DIR>/scripts/custom_login.php
== HTTP API 2 ==


<?php
Preferred API for programmatic access. Requests via HTTP POST or GET to <code>/php/api.php</code>.
function custom_login($user, $password) {
        debug_log('custom_login');
        return(array(
                'username' => $user,
                'is_admin' => false,
                'id' => $userIdUniqueNum, // required numeric unique identifier for each user
// 'id_group' => 1, // you can set user rights with the gui's group id too
                'enable_sensors' => array(2,3)
        ));
}
?>

== CDR HTTP API ==
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
curl 'http://server/php/api.php?task=getVoipCalls&user=USER&password=PASSWORD&params=...'
</syntaxhighlight>


Retrieves CDR rows in JSON, using WEB GUI filters: [[Call_Detail_Record_-_CDR#Filter_Form_button]].
{{Note|1=API authentication uses local VoIPmonitor database credentials. It does NOT use LDAP or custom_login.php.}}


Requires valid session: [[GUI_automate_login]]. Send parameters via POST.
'''Rate Limiting:''' Enable in GUI > Settings > System Configuration > "API maximal concurrent connections".


Disable authorization (safe environments): '''GUI > Settings > System Configuration > Disable authorization for API usage'''.
=== getVoipCalls ===


=== CURL Notes ===
Retrieve CDR records by search criteria.


Use -G and --data-urlencode for special characters (e.g., + in caller).

'''Summary:''' This article covers VoIPmonitor's custom login (LDAP/script examples, parameters), CDR HTTP API (inputs/outputs, examples), sharing CDRs, getting PCAPs, URL searches, HTTP API 2 (getVoipCalls, recordings, active calls, reports, shares, PCAPs, CDR lists, audio graphs), direct links, SIP history retrieval, and license checks.
'''Summary:''' VoIPmonitor Web API reference with two main APIs: (1) HTTP API 2 at <code>/php/api.php</code> using user/password authentication for tasks like getVoipCalls, getVoiceRecording, getPCAP, listActiveCalls, getShareURL, handleActiveCall, reportSummary; (2) CDR HTTP API at <code>/php/model/sql.php</code> using session cookies with full GUI filter support. Critical: correct endpoint path is <code>/php/api.php</code> (not <code>/api.php</code>). reportSummary requires pre-configured reports in GUI. Custom login via <code>scripts/custom_login.php</code> enables LDAP/SSO - requires unique numeric ID per user to avoid shared settings. Antivirus may delete scripts with shell_exec - disable with DISABLE_ANTIVIRUS or move to external file. Branding: BRAND_NAME for product name, BRAND_SHARESITE/BRAND_DOMAIN in brand.php for custom share domain.

VoIPmonitor Web API

This page documents VoIPmonitor's Web APIs for programmatic access to CDR data, recordings, active calls, and system functions.

Overview

API Endpoint Authentication Use Case
HTTP API 2 /php/api.php user/password params CDR queries, recordings, PCAP, active calls
CDR HTTP API /php/model/sql.php Session cookie Advanced CDR filtering with GUI filters

⚠️ Warning: Correct path is critical: Always use /php/api.php (not /api.php). Missing the /php/ directory causes "action parameter missing" errors.

HTTP API 2

Preferred API for programmatic access. Requests via HTTP POST or GET to /php/api.php.

Authentication

Include user and password parameters in every request: 

curl 'http://server/php/api.php?task=getVoipCalls&user=USER&password=PASSWORD&params=...'

ℹ️ Note: API authentication uses local VoIPmonitor database credentials. It does NOT use LDAP or custom_login.php.

Rate Limiting: Enable in GUI > Settings > System Configuration > "API maximal concurrent connections".

getVoipCalls

Retrieve CDR records by search criteria.

Parameters:

Parameter Description
startTime Calls starting >= this time (required)
startTimeTo Calls starting <= this time
callEnd Calls ending <= this time
caller / called Caller/called number
callId SIP Call-ID
cdrId Database ID
id_sensor Sensor number
msisdn Match caller OR called (instead of AND)
onlyConnected 1 = only answered calls
customHeaders Comma-separated custom header names to return

Examples: 

# HTTP GET - by time range and caller
curl 'http://server/php/api.php?task=getVoipCalls&user=USER&password=PASSWORD&params={"startTime":"2024-01-01","startTimeTo":"2024-01-31","caller":"123456"}'

# HTTP POST - by Call-ID
echo '{"task":"getVoipCalls","user":"USER","password":"PASSWORD","params":{"startTime":"2024-01-01","callId":"abc123"}}' | curl -X POST -d @- http://server/php/api.php

# With custom headers
curl -G 'http://server/php/api.php?task=getVoipCalls&user=USER&password=PASSWORD' \
  --data-urlencode 'params={"startTime":"2024-01-01","caller":"123","customHeaders":"X-Custom-Header"}'

Response fields:

Field Description
cdrId Database CDR ID
id_sensor Sensor ID
calldate / callend Call start/end time
duration / connect_duration Total / connected duration
caller / called Caller/called numbers
sipcallerip / sipcalledip SIP endpoint IPs
codec_a / codec_b Audio codecs
lastSIPresponseNum (New in 2026.1) Final SIP response code (e.g., 200, 404, 503)

Share CDR Configuration

Share Link Types

Use /php/model/utilities.php with task=shareCdr:

Type subType Description
Local Public self_protected_link Password-protected local link
Local Private self_login_link Requires GUI login
voipmonitor.org share_link Public via share.voipmonitor.org

Custom Branding

Product Name: Edit config/system_configuration.php: 

define('BRAND_NAME', 'YourCompany');

Share Domain: Edit brand.php to use your domain instead of share.voipmonitor.org: 

define('BRAND_SHARESITE', 'share.yourdomain.com');
define('BRAND_DOMAIN', 'yourdomain.com');

Custom Login (LDAP/SSO)

Custom authentication via scripts/custom_login.php. This applies to GUI login only, NOT to API authentication.

Basic Structure

<?php
function custom_login($user, $password) {
    // Authenticate against external system (LDAP, etc.)
    // ...

    return array(
        'username' => $user,
        'id' => $uniqueNumericId,  // REQUIRED: Must be unique per user!
        'is_admin' => false,
        'id_group' => 1,           // Optional: GUI group ID
        'enable_sensors' => array(1,2,3)  // Optional: restrict to sensors
    );
}
?>

⚠️ Warning: The id field MUST be unique per user. If multiple users return the same ID, they share ALL settings (timezone, dashboard, etc.). Use LDAP uidnumber or crc32($email) for uniqueness.

LDAP Example

See scripts/ldap_custom_login_example.php in GUI directory.

Requirements: php-ldap package installed.

Debug from CLI: 

cd /var/www/html/scripts/
php custom_login.php

Enable debug by uncommenting the debug block at top of script.

Troubleshooting

Users share settings: Return unique id per user (see warning above).

LDAP users can't view CDRs: Ensure is_admin => false and correct id_group is returned.

Script being deleted: GUI antivirus deletes scripts with shell_exec(), exec(), etc.

Solutions:

  1. Disable antivirus in config/system_configuration.php:
define('DISABLE_ANTIVIRUS', true);
  1. Or move shell commands to external file outside web directory and require_once() it.

Azure AD / Microsoft SSO

AI Summary for RAG

Summary: VoIPmonitor Web API reference with two main APIs: (1) HTTP API 2 at /php/api.php using user/password authentication for tasks like getVoipCalls, getVoiceRecording, getPCAP, listActiveCalls, getShareURL, handleActiveCall, reportSummary; (2) CDR HTTP API at /php/model/sql.php using session cookies with full GUI filter support. Critical: correct endpoint path is /php/api.php (not /api.php). reportSummary requires pre-configured reports in GUI. Custom login via scripts/custom_login.php enables LDAP/SSO - requires unique numeric ID per user to avoid shared settings. Antivirus may delete scripts with shell_exec - disable with DISABLE_ANTIVIRUS or move to external file. Branding: BRAND_NAME for product name, BRAND_SHARESITE/BRAND_DOMAIN in brand.php for custom share domain.

Keywords: web api, http api, api.php, sql.php, getVoipCalls, getVoiceRecording, getPCAP, getShareURL, listActiveCalls, reportSummary, handleActiveCall, CDR filter, custom login, LDAP, authentication, session, curl, JSON, branding, BRAND_NAME, BRAND_SHARESITE, antivirus, DISABLE_ANTIVIRUS, unique user id, uidnumber
