calling an api

[icemonster]

any idea how to call an api as a fax module? basically ringcentral has an api to use their fax api and want to know how to integrate that in ms access? any ideas to point me to the right direction?

Look in the ringcentral documentation.

You will of course need to set a reference to that library.

i already did, i saw the body for calling the api, it's an http post really, cause right now, the database or front end that the people are using is in access and slowly moving to web based php, but the thing is, we still are far away from that and just want integrate it as a temp patch or probably a perm fix depending on it's performance.

If you call it an API is it just a single Declaration statement?

not exactly, cause their documentation has this guides that i must go through, so i guess i need to speak with them first. just that i am having no direction atm regarding how to approach this.

Precisely!

It's not an API then because libraries are generally in this fashion:

[Private|Public] Declare [Function|Sub] APIName Lib [DLLName] (Alias APIName) (Arguments) (Return Type)

It's a library of functions to facilitate sending fax or a fax class. You need a reference to the library and you will need the documentation to understand what each function, property and method (that applies to you) does.
