# Sipgate CLI This is a small hack to send faxes via the sipgate REST API from the command line. ## Deployment Install [jq](https://stedolan.github.io/jq/download/). Add your login credentials to `login_credentials_muster.sh` and rename the file to `.env` If you use Letterheads Address database, uncomment the last line of that file and add `your/path/to/Letterhead` ## Usage `./fax.sh ` with a german fax number `` `./fax.sh -handle ` asks Letterhead's address database for 's fax number. ` ./fax.sh -help` prints usage Message and exits sipgate doesn't accept pdf files larger than 30 pages or 10MB. ~~For now, `` has to be numbers-only, starting with `+49`. It is planned to parse different number formats.~~ Should be done. ~~Spaces in filename seem to make trouble at the moment - avoid them.~~ Spaces in filenames are difficult. No guarantee, but should be handled now. `status.sh` shows ID, Date and Status of the last ten fax set from this device. `balance.sh` just gives your account balance. `faxreport.sh [options] [id]` loads the report of a given fax id (as shown by status.sh). If no `id` ist given, it takes the last fax sent from this machine. Options: * `-p` to only print and not save the report * `-d` to delete the given id from `.fax_history` ## Recommendation Put ``` alias fax="/your/path/to/this/project/fax.sh" alias faxstatus="/your/path/to/this/project/status.sh" alias faxbalance="/your/path/to/this/project/balance.sh" # The following is obsolete, but for documentation/compatibility reasons: fax-from-handle () { fax $1 "$(/your/path/to/this/project/Letterhead/Adressen/address.sh -f $2)"; } ``` into your `.bashrc` or `.bash_aliases`
