GoFax REST API
What GoFax REST API is
GoFax REST API is a paid cloud fax service for integrating fax functions into business applications and tools. Its REST API sends faxes to one or more numbers with sender ID, fax headers, scheduled delivery, high quality, and client references. Receiving functions list incoming faxes and active numbers, retrieve documents as PDF or TIFF, and configure a receive push URL. Other calls return fax status, cancel transmission before it starts, resend unsuccessful faxes, and report supported file formats. GoFax also lists fax and SMS API access, PaperCut MF sending from compatible multifunction devices, and ReferralNet conversion of incoming faxes into HL7 eReferrals. It states ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification, HIPAA compliance, Queensland Government GITC accreditation Q-5426, and QAssure accreditation. Optional data sovereignty keeps data within its country of origin. Australian phone and live-chat support is listed weekdays, 8:00am–5:30pm AEST. Plans include a Standard bundle at A$14.95 a month and 100 credits at A$15, paid once.
