Integration

1. Web-based APIs to start and join a meeting
2. Windows-based APIs to start and join a meeting
3. The URL to publish scheduled public meetings
4. The interface to integrate with your audio conferencing bridge or service

Web-based APIs to start and join a meeting

• URL to start a meeting

http://your_meeting_server_address/as/wapi/goto_downloader?role=host&email=xxx&user_password=yyy

where "xxx" is your email address and "yyy" is your password.

 
• URL to join a meeting

http://your_meeting_server_address/as/wapi/goto_downloader?role=attendee&name=xxx&meeting_id=yyy&password=zzz&sumbit=submit

where "xxx" is your name,  "yyy" meeting ID, and "zzz" meeting password.

Windows-based APIs to start and join a meeting

The following is a suggested workflow:

1. Test if TurboMeeting has been installed. If not, call the web-based APIs to let users start and join meeting from the web. After this first-time web-based API call, TurboMeeting is installed.
2. If TurboMeeting is installed, find the TurboMeeting.exe path, generate a temporary file called "Command File" to contain the parameters needed by TurboMeeting and execute the following DOS command line:

TurboMeeting-Path --cmd Command-File-Path

For example,

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\TurboMeeting\TurboMeeting\TurboMeeting.exe --cmd c:\MyApplication\LaunchTM.txt

Depending on the values in the Command File, the above will start or join a meeting. After TurboMeeting is launched, the Command File will be removed by TurboMeeting in order to keep the parameters inside the file secured.

You can find the TurboMeeting.exe path by clicking "Start", "All Programs", and "TurboMeeting". Then right-click "Start Meeting" and select "Properties". The property dialog displays the TurboMeeting.exe path. Another quick way to find the TurboMeeting.exe path is to right-click the TurboMeeting icon on your desktop and then select "Properties". However, the desktop icon can be easily removed by users.

 The TurboMeeting.exe path should be programmatically retrieved by your application. Click here to download a sample written in VC++.

<Action>: "Host" if it is to host a meeting. "Join" if it is to join a meeting

<ServerAddress>:  The TurboMeeting server address

<ServerPort>: One of the available TurboMeeting server Ports: 80, 443 or 8889. Fill in 80 if it is available.

<MeetingPassword>: Meeting password, used only when Action = Join

<MeetingId>: Meeting ID, required only when Action = Join

<AttendeeName>: Attendee name, required only when Action = Join

<Email>: The host email address, required only when Action = Host

<UserPassword>: The host password at the TurboMeeting server, required only when Action = Host

<MeetingType>: "0" for Interactive Meeting; "1" for remote support; "2" for remote access; "3" for seminar. This is required only when the Action is Host.

<StartMeetingNow> "Y" to start a meeting right away; "N" to start TurboMeeting and sign in. This is required only when Action = Host

<StartAtMinimized>: "Y" to minimize TurboMeeting when started; "N" to minimize TurboMeeting when started. When Action = Host, it should be "N" so that the meeting Host can read the Meeting ID from the meeting panel and invite attendees.

The URL to publish scheduled public meetings

1. Schedule a meeting. On the schedule meeting dialog, check the "To be published"





2. Login to the web console and click "Manage Meetings". Look for the section "The URL to publish the scheduled public meetings in HTML". You can also use "The URL to publish the scheduled public meetings in XML", which will give the flexibility to integrate the list of scheduled meeting with any of your applications.
3. Paste the URL on your website. To embed the list of scheduled meetings into your web page, use iFrame.
