Using Asterisk's manager interface to generate calls (From Python using pyst)
Written by on in Snaking.


This is not a deep and profound project, it's a quick "hello world" example script that allows you to generate a call via Asterisk that connects a SIP URI to a particular extension in your call plan. You could use this as-is to create a phone survey or similar system that connects a user to an IVR phone survey.

[Note: I've now published a Twisted package that allows both AMI and FastAGI operation, you likely would want to use that instead of this recipe for new development]

    Dear mcfletch,<br />
    I tried this script and failed.<br />
    all the files was modified (manager.conf, extensions.conf) saved script as callback.agi, put it to the /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin folder and called it this way:<br />
    AGI(callback.agi)<br />
    I made only modifications in the script:<br />
    targetURL changed with real sip account and changed the string 'SIP/%s'%(targetURL,), with 'SIP/sipnet/%s'%(targetURL,),<br />
    may be I did something wrong?<br />

    Pavel,<br />
    <br />
    you can try this, it works for me:<br />
    <br />
    #! /usr/bin/env python<br />
    from Asterisk import Manager<br />
    <br />
    Manager.DEBUG = 3<br />
    HOST = '127.0.0.1'<br />
    PORT = 5038<br />
    <br />
    addr = (HOST, PORT)<br />
    <br />
    m = Manager.Manager( addr, 'user', 'password')<br />
    targetURL = 'userid'<br />
    <br />
    m.Originate(<br />
    'SIP/sipnet/%s' % targetURL , <br />
    extension = 's', <br />
    context='outgoing',<br />
    priority='1'<br />
    )<br />
    <br />
    print m.Status()<br />
    <br />
    m.Logoff()
