Lines

This API lets you list the available lines (phone numbers and digital lines) in your Zendesk voice account. See Managing Zendesk Talk lines in Zendesk help.

JSON format

Lines are represented as JSON objects with the following properties:

Name	Type	Read-only	Mandatory	Description
count	integer	false	false
lines	array	false	false	Array of lines
next_page	string	false	false
previous_page	string	false	false

List Lines

• GET /api/v2/channels/voice/lines

Allowed For

• Agents

Minimizing the results

You can reduce the number of properties per line in the response with the minimal_mode=true query string parameter. Example:

/api/v2/channels/voice/lines?minimal_mode=true

The minimized result is a mix of phone numbers and digital lines. Some entries might have different properties but all entries will have the following properties:

• id
• country_code
• external
• nickname
• priority
• brand_id
• line_type

Parameters

Name	Type	In	Required	Description
minimal_mode	boolean	Query	false	Enable minimized results
