Connect Calls Using the Vonage Voice API and Node.js
Blog post from Vonage
Amanda Cavallaro's tutorial provides a comprehensive guide on setting up a call between two phone numbers using the Vonage Voice API and Node.js, with the ability to connect a third phone number to the ongoing call via NCCOs. The tutorial emphasizes the need for prerequisites such as a Vonage API account, Node.js, npm, and Ngrok for secure tunneling, and guides users through steps including creating a Vonage Voice application, purchasing and linking a virtual number, and configuring webhooks. The tutorial details the server-side code implementation, which involves setting up Express to handle HTTP requests, verifying JWTs for call authentication, and using NCCO actions for call control. Additionally, it covers handling Vonage call events and concludes with a section encouraging engagement with the Vonage developer community through various platforms.
