API: How to get your ProductId programmatically

This is a common first question we get:

I signed up and I need my API Key. You can ask us by submitting a help desk ticket or you can use our API to get your API Key.

​Assumptions:

• You signed up for a WestFax account.
• You have a basic understanding of how to make API calls.
• (Optional) Import our Postman Documentation.

There is an API call named: Profile_GetF2EProductList ​

​When you call this request with your Username and Password you will get output like this:

(Note: This is not real. We masked the ID field)​

Here is the CURL request: ​

      curl --location --request POST 'https://api2.westfax.com/REST/Profile_GetProductList/json' \
       --form 'Username="{{User}}"' \
       --form 'Password="{{Pass}}"' \
       --form 'Cookies="false"'
      

​Passing in your values for {{User}} and {{Pass}}

      {
       "Success": true,
       "Result": [
        {
         "Id": "00000000-1111-2222-3333-4444444444",
         "Name": "FF-Acme Corp",
         "PlanId": "00000000-1111-5555-55555-33333333",
         "ProductType": "FaxForward",
         "InboundNumber": "8885551212",
         "TimeZone": "Pacific",
         "ProductState": "OK",
         "CurrentBillingPeriodStart": "2021-06-01T00:00:00Z",
         "CurrentBillingPeriodEnd": "2021-07-01T00:00:00Z",
         "FreeTrialEnd": "2021-05-25T23:59:59Z",
         "PeriodicQuantity": 0,
         "QuantityInbound": 0,
         "QuantityOutbound": 0
        }
       ]
      }
      

Your APIKey or ProductId that you will use to send a fax and perform other API Tasks is the Id field.

"Id": "00000000-1111-2222-3333-4444444444"
