Start a forwarding check

POST
/v1/forwarding_check
curl --fail-with-body -X POST 'https://api.talki.it/v1/forwarding_check' \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $TALKI_API_KEY" \
-H "Idempotency-Key: forwarding-check-1"

Ring one location’s forwarding_number from its phone_number, the main location’s unless location_id names another, then poll GET /v1/forwarding_check with the same location_id. One check at a time per location; at most 3 an hour per location, and 30 an hour per OAuth app across all the accounts it is installed on and their locations, past which the answer is 429 check_quota_exceeded with Retry-After. Refused in test mode, and for an inactive location (phone_number_missing). Requires account:write. Limited to 120 requests per minute per account (API key) or per installation (OAuth).

location_id
Any of:
string

The location whose line to ring, an id from GET /v1/locations (inactive ones included). Omit it for the main location.

Talki-Version
string
Example
2026-10-01

Serve this one request at the given dated contract version instead of the credential’s pin. An unsupported value is refused with 400 unsupported_version, never downgraded.

Idempotency-Key
string
<= 255 characters

Unique key for this logical write. Reuse it only when retrying the same method, path, query and body. Required on appointment writes, on creating a service, a resource, a closure, a tag, a caller rule or a document, and on teaching the assistant; optional on every other write. Retained for 24 hours: a retry with the same key gets the first response again, marked Idempotency-Replayed: true, and a refusal that holds until the state changes (a time taken, a list full) is replayed too. A response a retry can change is not kept when the request saved nothing, and the retry runs the request again: a 400 asking for a different request (invalid_parameter, invalid_cursor, export_too_large, unknown_scenario, no_services_requested, stay_too_short, stay_too_long, stay_dates_invalid), a 415, a 409 request_conflict, document_not_ready or check_in_progress, a 412, a 429 and a 5xx.

Example
forwarding-check-1

Successful Response

Media typeapplication/json
ForwardingCheck

The latest forwarding check of one location’s line, the main one unless ?location_id= names another. Poll GET /v1/forwarding_check every few seconds after starting one, with the same location_id: pending turns into verified or not_detected within about a minute.

object
location_id
required
Location Id

The location whose line is checked, an id from GET /v1/locations: the one the request named with location_id, or the main location when it named none.

string
status
required
Status

pending while the check call is ringing, at most about a minute. verified when the call came back through forwarding, not_detected when it did not. Either result is kept for ten minutes, then the status returns to idle.

string
Allowed values: true

The check cannot start: the location has no Talki number, which an inactive one never has (phone_number_missing), no forwarding_number (forwarding_number_missing) or one that cannot be rung (forwarding_number_invalid), a check already running (check_in_progress), a test-mode credential (livemode_required), or the idempotency key was reused for a different request. Except idempotency_key_reuse, the other refusals are replayed for 24 hours to a request with the same idempotency key: once the cause is gone, retry with a new key. check_in_progress clears by itself and is not kept: retry with the same key.
