asterisk-billing

Description

A billing to PBX Systems based on Asterisk.

The Billing Daemon will be compatible with any Asterisk System over 10+ version and work independent from the Manager Interface, having an API to communicate with it.

The Billing API allow you developer your own frontend for any PBX Frontend Systems, reading the data directly from the database, getting CDR from the API or developing one webservice to receive the webhook from the daemon after every call with a JSON bill.

The Billing Daemon has the capacity to send to an external Webhook all bills, creating the capability to intergrate with any Application.
