We’re excited to announce a major update to the Fax.Plus API that brings more control, flexibility, and reliability to our users. Whether you’re a developer building advanced integrations or a business leveraging fax for communication, these improvements make our platform more powerful and user-friendly. Let’s dive into the details of what’s new!

Key API Updates

1. Directly Purchase a Fax Number from Supported Countries: We’ve made it easier than ever to expand your fax capabilities! Users can now directly purchase a fax number through the API from a wide range of supported countries using their Alohi credit.
2. Return Initial Session IDs in Webhooks: With this improvement, both session IDs are returned in webhooks, allowing better tracking and management of fax attempts. This is especially useful for identifying initial and retry attempts in real-time.
3. Added Offset-Based Pagination to the Inbox: We’ve added offset-based pagination to the API, making it easier to retrieve large sets of faxes or user data by skipping a specific number of records. This is a crucial improvement for those managing extensive datasets.
4. Sort Faxes by Date, Sender, Recipient, and More: You can now sort faxes based on various criteria such as date, sender, recipient, and more, making it easier to manage and search through your fax records.
5. Retrieve Fax Thumbnails Directly from the API: Need a visual reference? Now, you can retrieve the fax thumbnail directly through the API in JPEG format for easier document handling.
6. Enhanced Permissions for Better Access Management: We’ve introduced more specific permission configurations for API tokens beyond the existing options, providing more flexible access control tailored to particular use cases.
7. Revamped API Documentation: We’ve redesigned the Fax.Plus API documentation to enhance user experience. The updated version offers clear, concise, and well-structured guidance to help users seamlessly integrate faxing capabilities into their systems.
8. A lot of bug fixes and improvements, including
   1. Fixed a bug when sending multiple webhook calls if the same number is attached to multiple users.
   2. Fixed limitation when passing one’s own UID. With this bug fix, developers can now pass their own UID without hitting limitations, making integrations smoother.
   3. Resolved issues related to retrieving a clean and complete list of users in a corporate account. No more missing or incorrect data—just a reliable list at your fingertips.
   4. The API now handles errors for invalid send times more effectively, ensuring that any incorrect date or time formats are flagged instantly, helping prevent sending failures.
   5. We’ve also added more detailed error messages for failed fax transmissions, helping developers quickly troubleshoot and resolve issues.
