Getting started (Agent Availability API)

After reading through this guide, check out the API Reference to see all available API requests.

To start using the Vonage Contact Center Agent Availability API you must have completed the following tasks:

• Sign up for a Vonage Contact Center account. Find more information about how to do this at Vonage Cloud Contact Center.
• Set up a working interaction plan in which interactions are delivered to your agents through an Automatic Call Distributor or Universal Contact Distributor. For information about setting up interactions plans and using Vonage Contact Center to make and receive interactions, go to Vonage Contact Center Product Documentation.
• Get your client credentials from the Vonage Contact Center, adding the View agent availability scope.
• Use your client credentials to get your bearer access token. You must use your bearer access token to send API requests. The Authentication section contains information about getting your bearer access token.

The root URL for the Agent Availability API is https://***.api.newvoicemedia.com/agents-availability, where *** represents a regional subdomain. URLs in the example code use *** in place of the region.
