How to submit a request to send a fax?

Here is the curl sample to submit a request to send a fax with a text file with basic authentication (user name and password).

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -u "<userid:password>" \
     --data-binary "{
    \"destinations\": [
        {
            \"fax\": \"9999999999\"
        }
    ],
    \"documents\": [
        {
            \"name\": \"temp.txt\",
            \"type\": \"text\",

How to check the status of a submitted fax request.?

Status can be checked either by status API or webhook. With Webhook, OpenText will be able to push fax status to your web receiver. However, a receiver needs to be written using this schema to process the message. Note that the fax status schema is the same for both webhook and API. Webhook is highly recommended as it avoids polling for status. We will provide a curl sample for checking status via status API.

curl -u "<userid:password>" \

'https://t2api.us.cloudmessaging.opentext.com/mra/v1/outbound/faxes/status?job_id=xsi-1111111111'

Successful submission of status API call will result in HTTP 200 response code along with a detailed JSON status as below. Job state and delivery attempt state confirm that the fax is indeed sent successfully to the destination.

{
    "job_id": "xsi-1111111111",
    "entry_time": "2020-05-08T03:35:05.000Z",
    "job_state": [
        "Complete",
        "Posted"
    ],
    "deliveries": [
        {
            "fax": "1234567890",
            "delivery_attempts": [
                {
                    "state": "Sent",

                    "delivery_time": "2020-05-08T03:35:34.000Z",
                    "delivery_sec": 8,
