# Get the voice settings

`GET /v1/voice/settings`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://us1.platform.bird.com`
- URL: `https://us1.platform.bird.com/v1/voice/settings`
- Auth: one of:
  - HTTP bearer
  - API key in cookie `bird_session`

Returns the voice settings for your workspace.

`inbound_configuration.route` is what happens to calls for every Bird number that has no
inbound route of its own. Verified caller IDs receive no calls, so it never applies to them.
It is "reject" until you change it.

`daily_spend_limit` is the daily limit outbound calls are admitted against, what has been
used toward it today including calls in progress, and when it resets at midnight UTC.

## Headers

- `X-Workspace-Id` string
- `X-Organization-Id` string

## Response `200`

The workspace's voice settings.

- VoiceSettings: The voice settings your workspace controls. Every field carries its effective value, whether or not the workspace has ever changed it.
  - `inbound_configuration` VoiceSettingsInboundConfiguration, required: What happens to a call arriving for any of your Bird numbers that has no inbound route of its own.
    - `route` union, required: What happens to a call arriving for this number, as it is configured now. Its `type` selects the shape, and each answer carries its own fields. Setting a route is a separate shape, and it does not offer every variant reported here.
      - VoiceCallRouteReject
        - `type` 'reject' | 'trunk' | 'forward' | 'sequence', required: Which answer a number carries. - `reject`: refuses the call. - `trunk`: delivers the call to one of your SIP trunks. - `forward`: places a call to one of your verified caller IDs and connects the two. - `sequence`: runs the configured sequence from its selected voice-call entry. It selects the answer's own shape, so a new way to answer a call arrives as a new value alongside a new set of fields.
      - VoiceCallRouteTrunk
        - `type` 'reject' | 'trunk' | 'forward' | 'sequence', required: Which answer a number carries. - `reject`: refuses the call. - `trunk`: delivers the call to one of your SIP trunks. - `forward`: places a call to one of your verified caller IDs and connects the two. - `sequence`: runs the configured sequence from its selected voice-call entry. It selects the answer's own shape, so a new way to answer a call arrives as a new value alongside a new set of fields.
        - `trunk_id` string, required
      - VoiceCallRouteForward
        - `type` 'reject' | 'trunk' | 'forward' | 'sequence', required: Which answer a number carries. - `reject`: refuses the call. - `trunk`: delivers the call to one of your SIP trunks. - `forward`: places a call to one of your verified caller IDs and connects the two. - `sequence`: runs the configured sequence from its selected voice-call entry. It selects the answer's own shape, so a new way to answer a call arrives as a new value alongside a new set of fields.
        - `forward_to` string, required: The number calls are forwarded to, in E.164 format. It has to be one of your verified caller IDs. That is checked when you set it and again on every call it forwards, so a caller ID you later remove stops forwarding rather than carrying on.
        - `forward_as` 'dialed_number' | 'calling_number', required: Which of a forwarded call's two numbers it shows as the caller. `dialed_number` presents the Bird number the caller dialed. Whoever answers sees which of your numbers was called. Older configurations without a stored choice use this value. Carrier screening can still affect delivery. `calling_number` presents the caller's own number, so the phone rings as though they had dialed it directly and the call can be returned from the call log. Because the number is not one you own, some carriers (most often in the US and parts of Europe) mark such calls as unverified, replace the number, or screen them.

## Other responses

- `400`: Bad request
- `401`: Authentication required
- `403`: Insufficient permissions
- `404`: Resource not found
- `422`: The request has invalid field values, violates a business rule, or carries a query parameter the endpoint does not declare. Field validation errors use `type: validation_error` and include the affected fields in `details`. Business-rule errors identify the failed rule in `type`.
- `429`: Rate limit exceeded
- `500`: Internal server error
- `503`: The service is temporarily unavailable. If `Retry-After` is present, wait for that delay before retrying; otherwise, retry with exponential backoff. Reuse the same idempotency key and request when retrying a mutation.
