Keith, Cris, thank you for sharing.
Cris, I'm going to look into that wiki of yours.
To share with both of you, I just finished writing a combination of bash
scripts, combined with an Open Source VOIP switch (Asterisk) and am
able to create tickets ON THE FLY, real time, with caller id name and
number, inserted into the ticket, with a unique identifier for call
recordings for an active on-going call.
This is more of a hobby / learning exercise. Its very much at its
primitive stages but very functional.
Since its barely 3-4 days since I started with RT, I'm documenting all
the steps and questions that I'm coming up with. Perhaps that doc will
help with future learning of enthusiasts.
Hopefully more people will share what they are doing with the REST API,
as it gives us all more perspective of what can be done and what people
doing in real life.
Thanks!
Reza.

Past 3:00 AM EST here in Toronto and this learning exercise is just
too darn addictive!
I've already been digging deep inside the API documentations of RT, to
be more specific the REST API.
The contributors and developers of RT are simply pure ingenious. The
REST API is allowing any Joe like me to come up with a beautifully
designed web interface and communicate with RT to do almost anything
(if not all). I've already started writing code to integrate with
bash scripts, php, simple CURL, etc., as the initial input by
web-form, or telephone touch pad. I'm only beginning to imagine the
potential of a phone system integration of a call centre into RT.
Most of us here are systems admins, system analysts and coders. Just
curious... how many of you folks here in this community have actually
written your own apps to integrate with RT via the REST API?
Thanks!
Reza.
[Superbly pumped to learn more. Cheers!]
