A code snippet that shows how to retrieve information for a call. The call to retrieve information for is identified via a UUID.

Example

Replace the following variables in the example code:

Key	Description
`UUID`	The UUID for the call for which information is being requested.

Prerequisites

Use your existing application

To fetch information about a call, you must use the same NEXMO_APPLICATION_ID and private key that were used to create the call.

Generate your JWT

Execute the following command at your terminal prompt to create the JWT for authentication:

export JWT=$(nexmo jwt:generate $PATH_TO_PRIVATE_KEY application_id=$NEXMO_APPLICATION_ID)

Write the code

Add the following to retrieve-info-for-a-call.sh:

Copy to Clipboard

curl "https://api.nexmo.com/v1/calls/"$UUID \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer "$JWT \

We can use the application plugin for Gradle to simplify the running of our application. Update your build.gradle with the following:

  apply plugin: 'application'
  mainClassName = project.hasProperty('main') ? project.getProperty('main') : ''

Run the following gradle command to execute your application, replacing com.nexmo.quickstart.voice with the package containing RetrieveCallInfo:

gradle run -Pmain=com.nexmo.quickstart.voice.RetrieveCallInfo
