The Crosby Fax® developer programme in conjunction with Telecoms Cloud enables integration of our secure fax services into your company’s IT infrastructure or software applications, allowing faxes to be sent and received with ease from right where your users are. Use cases for our Fax API include automated invoicing, secure integration with patients’ healthcare records, or booking confirmation systems.

Crosby Fax® is powered by the Telecoms Cloud network, and you can use the very same API to integrate high-volume fax functionality into your own applications without costly network infrastructure investment, maintenance or upgrade costs.

Implementing our Fax API rather than faxing from your email inbox or via our secure portal means that received faxes can appear within your application and users can, for example, trigger a fax to be sent right from their working screen – without having to switch to an email programme or log in to the Crosby Fax® secure portal.

For documentation, code samples and SDKs for a variety of programming languages, check out the full API documentation.

How Does The Fax API Work?

Receiving Faxes via Fax API

To query for new faxes received, your application makes a GET request to the Telecoms Cloud Fax API. It receives back JSON data containing details of any new faxes, along with a secure download URL to allow your application to retrieve and process each fax.

Sending Faxes via Fax API

Faxes are sent via a 256-bit TLS-encrypted HTTPS POST request to the Telecoms Cloud Fax API from your application. The POST request contains the PDF document to be faxed along with the recipient number, and returns a unique ID which allows you to GET the fax job’s delivery status.
