OverviewThis document describes the REST BT VBU conference web services. This web service API is written using REST (Representational State Transfer) architecture, making it easy to use conceptually and in practice.
Supported API operations offer Conference create, update, or cancel, with query operations supported for specified, all, or Favorite Site(s); or query of specified or Conference summaries within a range of dates.
The API includes Conference management capabilities; however, it is important to note the creation of Site(s), Billing Allocations, Conference Options and other configuration information provided by the API are read-only, and addition or changes to these require the involvement of BT personnel and processes before they are available for Conference creation in the API. Contact BT Conferencing with any questions.
Changes in the REST API versionCreate, update, cancel, and site reservation query operations are supported in the REST API. In addition, some auxiliary operations are combined or added to improve the overall API. Addition of the Conference Summary query was added to allow for the query of Conference information on a per-company or per-requester basis for a given timeframe.
The capability for queries for conference that have schedule related changes is now supported. This feature must be enabled BT Software.
BT Conferencing Page 6
Major requirements for an Application using the BT REST APIXML request formatting is the most basic requirement for communication with the REST API. It is important that you have the ability insure the XML is well formed; many free XML tools are available to help diagnose these issues, from Microsoft and others.
The BT REST API provides functionality for scheduling Video and Audio conferencing, and provides validation of established business rules to provide for successful conference operation. API requests that violate business rules return a failure, usually a HTTP 40X (BAD request). Of course, an important objective is to avoid failed requests – to accomplish this objective, any external application must implement business rules to avoid generating errors.
Documentation for many of the required business rules is available in the appendix. Many of these business rules require that the client application prevent the user from choosing options and conference settings that are not allowed. For instance, a restriction exists that a Producer Assisted Conference may not be scheduled sooner than 1 hour from the conference start time. This restriction exists to allow for time to assign a conference producer.
Each company contracting with BT for conferencing services has configuration options, product configuration, conferencing types, naming conventions, etc. These values are available using the ‘/conference/options’ URI. In most cases, enabling options for which the company is not allowed will cause a failure during the conference create or update operation. Therefore, any client application must read, interpret and allow these options for which a company is allowed. Failure to do so will result in conference create and/or update failure.
Development process recommendationsAn important part of the development with the BT REST API is the ability to develop your application to avoid errors generated from the BT API. Every response includes an error or response message, and it is of great importance that you have the ability to save the error response for later review to understand why any error occurred.
In general, begin making REST API conference create API call with only simplest, required options that are required to create a conference: Meeting type, Requester, Date and Time, 1 Site, and meeting duration. First create a meeting of Room Reservation meeting type. Only after you can create this type meeting, should you begin to add other features and options that are required.
BT Conferencing Page 7
Notes on the External Application Development
An external development environment (ExtDev) is available for application development to test application behavior call made to the REST API client application. Application logins to ExtDev are available only after a signed Data Sharing Agreement is in place, and this is a hard requirement and typically has a significant lead time, potentially many months. Contact BT with any questions.
ExtDev conferences do not launch on end points, its functionality is available to only test external application development behavior, including error handling. Notifications emails generated normally generated in the Production environment are turned off from in the ExtDev environment; such as conference confirmations, login reset notifications, etc. Contact BT with any questions.
It is important to note that ExtDev is a development environment and not production, and as such may experience brief periods of unavailability for maintenance. Further, the database used by ExtDev is wiped clean and re-created from production, hence conferences and requesters created on one day, may not be available at a later date. Please plan accordingly.
BT Conferencing Page 8
Common Characteristics of REST Resources
In general, an object like a Conference is considered a “Resource” in the BT system, with the resource type identified by the URI pattern, e.g., “/conference” for conference-related resources, and “/site” for site-related resources, etc.
The following characteristics apply to all BT Conferencing (BTC) REST API resources:
You access a resource by sending an HTTP request to the BTC API server. The server replies with a response that contains the data you requested and a status indicator.
All Production resources are located at https://www.conferencesetup.com/webservices/rest/1_0/
All Externally available development test resources are located at https://extdev.conferencesetup.com/webservices/rest/1_0/
You request a particular resource by appending a particular path to this base URL that specifies the resource.
Most resource-specific parameters are optional depending on the call being made.
All successfully schedule calls return a HTTP status 20X, Failed with a HTTP status 40X, etc.
All resources may return information listed specifically in the section of this document that describes that resource.
Both Conference and Site Resources have ‘/option’ URI path, with Conference also having ‘/type’.
Below, when a portion of a URL, path, or parameter value is shown in italics, this indicates that you should replace the italicized value with a particular value appropriate to your request.
The HTTP header in all requests should use: content-type=[application/xml].
The following HTTP method to Action mapping is generally followed:
HTTP Method ActionPOST To create a Conference or SeriesPUT To update a resource like a
ConferenceDELETE To cancel a ConferenceGET To retrieve a Conference or Series,
or Site(s)
BT Conferencing Page 9
Exceptions are for certain query operations (e.g., “/site/reservations”), POST is used instead of GET to accommodate the complex request and response types.
BT Conferencing Page 10
Important Nomenclature, Resources, and Concepts
Conferences are meetings that may or may not contain video resources, may or may not have a dedicated assigned human producer, may or may not start without dialing, and many other options. Many Conference option values that are not assigned when specifying the definition of a Conference will be assigned during the Conference create operation.
API operations allow for create, update, cancel, and query of Conferences. All Conferences have a unique BTC assigned ID, and optional customer assigned ID.
A Series is a set one or more of Conferences, usually created with a scheduled time frame, usually with the same Sites, participants, start times, and duration. Series have a unique ID, separate from the unique ID of each Conference that comprises the Series. When a recurrence element is included to create a series, the series ID is the systemConferenceID that is returned in the response.
API operations allow for create, cancel, and retrieval of Conferences comprising the Series. Updates to Series require sequentially updating each Conference comprising the Series – direct updates of a Series are not currently supported in the API.
In the BTC REST API, at a minimum, a Conference must have a name, type, start time, duration, conference requester, and one or more Site(s). Creation of a Series, in addition requires a schedule for creation, such as weekly. Specification of a recurrence pattern is discussed in more detail below.
Conference Types that are currently supported are:
Self Service – Conference that is managed by the customer, including selection of conference options, such as start time, duration, optional auto-launch, control, etc.
Producer Assisted and Monitored – Conference that includes a producer that assists with the launch of the call and then provides proactive monitoring. Producer Assisted and Monitored meetings may have resources such as bridges, audio numbers, etc. assigned at a date after conference creation by a conference producer as a part of conference production. As a consequence, all resource information may not be available when a successful Conference get operation completes. An example is the Audio dial in numbers may not be available for a Producer Assisted Conference at conference create time, because an audio bridge is not be assigned at conference create time.
BT Conferencing Page 11
Room Reservation – A Conference room without scheduled video equipment or audio.
Any or all of the above Conference types may be available to a company based on chosen options, available hardware, company configuration policy, etc. The ‘/conference/type’ path returns the supported types that are currently configured for the company. Conference options are available based on company policies, hardware types, network throughput, etc. The ‘/conference/option’ path returns company specific Conference options available organized by Conference type. The company specific Conference options include configured names chosen by the company for presentation of each conference type.
GVE Reserve Dial (GVE RD) conferences are Self–Service Conferences, and allow one or more external company sites to comprise a conference. A company may or may not be enabled for GVE RD conferences. The ‘/conference/options’ element ‘gveReserveDialEnabled’ element under selfServiceOptions must be true to create GVE RD conferences.
GVE RD conferences may be of either HOST or INVITEE type. Sites that participate in a GVE RD conference must have gveRDCapable as true in the Site description. A successful HOST conference create operation requires the number of external participating Sites, and returns an Access Number and Participant Code. INVITEE conferences require an Access Number and Participant Code for the create operation. An INVITEE Access Number may be validated using the ‘/conference/gve_reserve_dial/invitee_access_number’ URI.
Billing Allocations may be configured for a conference for cost assignment purposes. Companies use Billing Allocations for their own cost assignment purposes for conference creation, and are Company specific; the allocations are different for different Companies. The Billing Allocation ID and Billing Allocation value are included when Companies review their invoice for Conference services. Hence, only Companies will know the actual BillingAllocation values that must be included with the Conference.
The general process of including Billing Allocations in a create conference call is to retrieve the Billing Allocation using the ‘/billingallocations’ GET call, parse the results, inspect the ‘requiredYN’ value to determine whether the value must be included, allow the user to enter an allocationValue in your UI, and submit the allocationTypeID and allocationValue with the create Conference call. Note that if any required Billing Allocation is not included, the Conference creation will fail.
The ‘/billingallocations’ path returns the configured Billing Allocations information and related information for a company, if any. For example:
<ns2:BillingAllocationListResponse><returnMessagexsi:nil="true"/>
BT Conferencing Page 12
<allocations> <list> <allocationTypeID>17082129</allocationTypeID> <allocationType>Cost Center</allocationType> <requiredYN>true</requiredYN> <editableYN>true</editableYN> </list> </allocations></ns2:BillingAllocationListResponse>
In the above Billing Allocations response, the requiredYN element is set to true. This means when you create a conference, the billingAllocations element must be included in the create conference call, and all required Allocations must have a value set (e.g. be non-null), and include the “allocationTypeID” to identify it; If the requiredYN value is set to false, a Billing Allocation value is optional. Below is an example with 2 required Billing Allocations:
<conference><!—other conference create definitions here … <billingAllocations> <allocationTypeID>28345212</allocationTypeID> <allocationValue>My Allocation ID 123</allocationValue> </billingAllocations> <billingAllocations> <allocationTypeID>70755454</allocationTypeID> <allocationValue>My Allocation ID 234 </allocationValue> </billingAllocations>…</conference>
A Site is a room, and usually a configured set of video equipment, including one or more camera(s) and one or more participant viewing screens. Site(s) have options based on hardware and network capabilities, etc. In a Conference create or update operation a single site must be chosen as the host site. Each Site may or may not have a Leg Allocation for purposes of cost assignment for the Conference if configured for the company. Leg Allocations are frequently used for tracking travel savings for video Conference usage, and may or may not be configured for a company. Leg Allocations are provided read-only in the API.
In the BT REST API, if an update is desired of conference attributes other than the Sites, the ConferenceSites elements in the conference may be omitted so that the Sites in the Conference are unchanged by the update. For instance, if it is possible that a Conference Producer has added or removed Sites from the Conference, a BT REST API update to the conference may omit the
BT Conferencing Page 13
ConferenceSites Element and the Sites included in the Conference will remain unchanged.
By default, a create conference or series call will create the conference with the timezone and timezone ruleset of the Request Person of the conference. However, this may be overridden by setting the timezone in the ‘conferenceTimezone’ element on the ConferenceType object during a create conference operation.
Including Audio in Video Conferences
Audio participants are currently supported in Producer Assisted and non-gveReserveDial Self Service Conferences. Note that audio participants are not currently supported in Self Service Reserve Dial, or in Room Reservation Conferences.
There are 2 types of Audio available for selection in the API, MeetMe, and Non-MeetMe Audio. MeetMe Audio is chosen by specifying only an audio participant Count, as in <audioParticipantCount>1</audioParticipantCount>.
Non-MeetMe audio is specified by specifying a list of audio participants, as in <audioParticipants> <list>John</list> <list>Paul</list> <list>Peter</list> </audioParticipants>
Please note that Non-MeetMe audio is considered a legacy feature, and it is likely that MeetMe audio will be required.
MeetMe Audio is always used for Producer Assisted meetings; it is invalid to specify Non-MeetMe audio for Producer Assisted Meetings. Self Service meetings have Non-MeetMe audio, and may have MeetMe audio available. If Self Service MeetMe Audio is available, in the ‘/conference/options’ response, the MeetMeAudioEnabled value will be set to true, as in
<selfServiceOptions> <MeetMeAudioEnabled>true</MeetMeAudioEnabled></selfServiceOptions>
If MeetMe audio is enabled for Self Service meetings, it is invalid to specify Non-Meetme audio; it is invalid to specify a list of audio participants.
BT Conferencing Page 14
If the conference is successfully created, Audio dial in information is available by performing a HTTP GET to ‘/conference/<conference ID> for a meeting created with audio. Here is an example of both Producer Assisted and Self-Service audio that has been successfully assigned.
<conferenceSites> <dialInAddress>+1 800 528 0633</dialInAddress> <dialInPasscode>97235027</dialInPasscode></conferenceSites>
BT Conferencing Page 15
Including Webex in Video Conferences
Webex participants are currently supported in Producer Assisted and Self Service Conferences. The ‘conference/options’ response <webExOptions>true </webExOptions> element under Self-Service and Producer Assisted is true if Webex is supported. Note that Webex participants are supported in Reserve Dial conferences. Webex accounts are created automatically for scheduled conferences.
For LaunchNow, Self Service conferences only, a restriction exists if Webex is selected. Webex requires the creation of a Webex account, which can take a number of minutes. For LaunchNow conferences, if the Requester has never included Webex in a conference previously, and Webex is included in the LaunchNow conference, the conference creation will fail, because insufficient time is available to create a Webex account.
If the ‘conference/options’ response contains a <webExOptions>true</webExOptions> element, Webex may be included in a conference by including a including <conference><webex>true</webex></conference> in the ConferenceInput definition.
Conference Series and Recurrence
Creation of a Series requires the inclusion of a <recurrence> block, to define the pattern used for creating the Conference Series meetings, such as creating a Conference every week. The Recurrence types that are currently supported are Daily, Weekly, and Monthly. To specify the end of the Conference Series for all of the above Recurrence types, you may either specify the total number of meetings to create, e.g. <count>5</count>, or specify an enddate, for example the <enddate>2013-12-20T03:00:00-07:00</enddate> on which to end the recurrence.
Daily recurrence specifies creating Conferences every day for a specified number of days, or until a specific end date. Recurrence days may be limited only to Weekdays by including the <dailyWeekdaysOnly>true</dailyWeekdaysOnly> element. The below specifies creating 5 Conferences on every day starting with the <beginDateTime> date.
<beginDateTime>2012-12-21T03:00:00-07:00</beginDateTime> <recurrence> <recurrenceType>Daily</recurrenceType>
BT Conferencing Page 16
<dailyWeekdaysOnly>false</dailyWeekdaysOnly> <recurrenceEndType>Count</recurrenceEndType> <numberOfConferences>5</numberOfConferences> </recurrence>
Weekly recurrence allows specifying Conferences to occur at a specified frequency, optionally on specified days. For instance, every 2 weeks on a Thursday.
The below recurrence definition will create a total of 5 Conferences, each occurring on Saturday and Monday, every other week:
<beginDateTime>2013-01-11T01:00:00-07:00</beginDateTime> <recurrence> <recurrenceType>Weekly</recurrenceType> <recurrenceEndType>Count</recurrenceEndType> <weeklyDays> <list>Saturday</list> <list>Monday</list> </weeklyDays> <frequency>2</frequency> <numberOfConferences>5</numberOfConferences> </recurrence>
Monthly recurrence allows for creating Conferences with a pattern for each month. Within a month, Conferences are allowed to occur on a specific day, such as the 15th, or on a week number within the month, such as the First, Second, Third, or Last. For Monthly recurrence meetings where the Week number is specified, the Day of the Week of the meeting that is created is determined by the Day of the Week of the Conference start date.
The below recurrence definition will create a total of 3 conferences, 1 Conference each month, each on the 3rd Tuesday of each month:
<beginDateTime>2012-02-21T03:00:00-07:00</beginDateTime> <recurrence> <recurrenceType>Monthly</recurrenceType> <recurrenceMonthlyType>Week</recurrenceMonthlyType> <monthlyWeek>Third</monthlyWeek> <frequency>1</frequency> <recurrenceEndType>Count</recurrenceEndType> <numberOfConferences>3</numberOfConferences> </recurrence>
BT Conferencing Page 17
Security, Authentication, Requester, Person, Host and Permissions
Logins used to access the BTC REST API authenticate using a username and password using BASIC HTTP authentication over required SSL/TLS transport. The normal situation is for the use of one, company specific authentication login to the REST API, with use of the ‘system Requester ID’, the ‘customer Specified Requester ID’, or an email address used to define the person within a company while making the request. The BTC REST API login must have the preconfigured API login permissions; not every login has these assigned permissions.
A Requester is a person that is a member of the same company as the company authentication login, who creates, updates, or cancels a conference. A Requester will be created during a conference create or update operation if they are not currently created. All Requester data is stored when it is passed using the BTC REST API either during create or update conference calls.
A call to create a Person (a POST to ‘/person’) will create the person if they are not already created, or replace the current information stored in the BTC database and return the system Requester ID. If same user System Requester ID has been created, the current Person information will be returned. A list of requesting Person created can be returned with a HTTP GET to ‘’/person’.
A Host person may be optionally specified in addition to the Requester. A Host person is also a member of the same company, who is allowed to create, update or cancel a conference for the Requester person, and receives an e-mail confirmation in addition to the Requester. A Host person may also be created during conference a create or update operation. The meeting audio and WebEx dial-in information is taken from the Requester person, not the Host person.
A conference must have a single assigned Requester person. The Requester person may be changed for a conference during a conference update operation by passing different requester in the request. The Host may also be changed by passing a different Host in the conference request.
To create a requester, either during a conference create call or using the ‘/person’ URI, the caller must specify the First Name, Last Name, e-mail address, and Time zone. A customer specified ID may also be defined. If the caller specifies a phone number, the caller must also specify a country code so that the correct calling string may be determined. Once a person is created using the API, they may be used as either a Host and/or Requester for a conference.
BT Conferencing Page 18
The BT API uses 3 identifiers to identify the correct Person, in order of most trusted to least trusted: Requester ID, Company Specified Person ID, and e-mail address. The Requester ID is always unique, while the Company Specified Person ID and e-mail may contain duplicates, although this is not recommended. A PUT request to ‘/person’ may be used to assign all other values, and including the Requester ID is recommended to insure unambiguous assignment.
It should be noted that a Requesters ‘system requester ID’ may be different between our development and production databases, if the Requester is created during a conference create operation. Specifying a Requester ID that is not in the Ext Dev test database during a conference create will cause a failure. Restricting testing to only existing users during testing can avoid these types of issues.
While the Requester or Request person may be specified using any of the ‘system Requester ID’, the ‘customer Specified Requester ID’, or an email address, it is recommended that either the ‘customer Specified Requester ID’ be included to identify the Requester during conference create operations. This can reduce the number of issues with unknown Requesters during conference create operations. Further, including these values can simplify BT Help Desk issue resolution.
The requester may be uniquely specified using either the system Requester ID, customer Specified ID, or the email address.. Below is an example of specifying a Requester with only an email address:
<conferenceRequester> <firstName>my</firstName> <lastName>user</lastName> <timeZone> America/Chicago</timeZone> <emailAddress>[email protected]</emailAddress> </conferenceRequester>
BT Conferencing Page 19
Query Operations and Site Reservations
Queries performed return a summary of the object of interest, as in the case of a Conference returning the system ID, and company specified ID, name, etc in the Conference Summary Type. Conference queries are allowed by specifying a start time and duration, for a specific user, or the entire company. Query duration currently has an upper limit of 10 days maximum.
Site Queries require a list of Site(s) of interest, a start Time and duration, and return the Date/Time(s) that the site is used during the time frame. Query duration currently has an upper limit of 10 days maximum.
Conference Query Operations for Conferences modified
The capability for query of a conference that has schedule related changes is available in the BTC API. This feature must be enabled for selected company’s using the BTC API in coordination with BT software. The conference change query allows for the return of a conference definition that has had change(s) made since a given Date/time following the conference create. Note that conference update operations using Web Services will also result in changes that are reflected in the results returned by the API, and this must be a consideration in the API usage.
The specific changes that are tracked for purposes of allowing a change record for Web Services query are:
1. Conference Name2. Conference Type: Self Service, Producer Assisted3. Start date and time, and duration4. Conference State: Cancelled, Ready, etc.5. Site Inclusion/removal6. Audio/WebEx inclusion/removal
There are 2 parameters that allow for the query of conference changes:1. Conference ID
a. Conference to test for changes2. Change Date/Time
a. Test for changes since specified date/time
BT Conferencing Page 20
The response is a ConferenceQueryResponse, which will include a value of ‘NoResults’ or ‘ResultsFound’. If ResultsFound, then, and the conference set to the latest version of the ConferenceType object that contains the latest conference details for the conference.
Note that there are many non-schedule related options for a video conference that will not affect the results returned by the API, e.g. Conference Presentation Mode, auto extend minutes, etc.
BT Conferencing Page 21
Common Problems
XML over HTTP Request formatting
In general, HTTP Requests are comprised of both HTTP headers, and the HTTP payload.
1. HTTP requests with XML payload, e.g. POST requests should have content-type=[application/xml].
2. Sending XML in the payload that has whitespace stripped from between the elements is recommended.
3. Sending XML in the payload that has line-feed and end of line characters stripped is recommended.
4. Problems have been reported when not setting a value for the User-Agent. Below is an example of a HTTP User-Agent string that works:
a. Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50215)
BT Conferencing Page 22
BTC REST API DETAIL
The latest BTC REST API xml schema is given by the Web Application Description Language (WADL). The WADL shows all currently supported resources, grammars, methods, types, and enumerations used by the API. The WADL currently supported by the server is available by appending ‘/?_wadl&_type=xml’ to the base URL as in https://extdev.conferencesetup.com/webservices/rest/1_0/?_wadl&_type=xml
You must have currently provisioned API login credentials to access the above URL.
It is important to note that the below Object definitions are intended as a reference and description only for ease of human reading, and the above WADL should be used for actual coding purposes. The Word Processor makes auto-corrections that may not actually function with API calls.
Below is a descriptive list of key object types included in the XML schema:

feature from ‘/conference/options’ shows the feature enabled.i. Examples Audio, MeetMeAudio, Producer Assisted
conferences, Self Service conferences, WebEx, LaunchNow, gveReserveDial conferences.
b. All sites that included in a conference must have a non-zero Site ID, or a Customer Specified Site ID.
c. If a Site query using ‘/site/<Site ID>’ returns required Leg allocations, when the Site is included with a <conference> definition, these legAllocations must be have a value populated.
i. Example:ii. <conferenceSites>
iii. <systemSiteID>126543986</systemSiteID>iv. <legAllocations>
<allocationTypeID>6370</allocationTypeID><allocationValue>5</allocationValue>
</legAllocations></conferenceSites>
d. If the ‘/billingallocations’ returns required Billing Allocations, the ‘allocationTypeID’ must be populated and the allocationValue populated.
i. Example:ii. <billingAllocations>iii. <allocationTypeID>117393106</allocationTypeID>iv. <allocationValue>US 23456457</allocationValue>v. </billingAllocations>vi. <billingAllocations>vii. <allocationTypeID>145676106</allocationTypeID>viii. <allocationValue>US098423457</allocationValue>ix. </billingAllocations>
e. Sites cannot be double booked; each Site booking time in each conference must not overlap with Site booking time any other conference.

f. Sites may be included in a conference if they are from the same Onward company as the Web services login.
2. Producer Assisted Conferencea. A Producer Assisted conference must not be scheduled sooner than 1
