Recording utility for 46elks phone nr. redirection

For a project I needed to record an automatic response I got from a robot. I redirected my phone through 46elks and that allowed me to configure a phone nr. that would redirect to my number.

I would still have to answer the phone in order to get the recording.

Tech

• 46elks phone nr. redirection
• Flask localhost server
• jinja templating
• ngrok expose the local server to the internet

Setup

Create the phone nr. in 46elks through the API or in the web interface and configure it with:

{"connect":"+467XXXXXXXX","recordcall":"http://XYZ.ngrok.io/record"}

Start this server locally running:

ELKS_USER="..." ELKS_KEY="..." python3 run.py

Run ngrok to get a link:

ngrok http 127.0.0.1:5000

Done!

Listing/Downloading wav files:

Just visit http://127.0.0.1:5000 or whatever link ngrok provided you.
