Give our API a shot and shoot me a note for some extra credits as a h/t to a fellow HNer. (See profile for email.)
- toomuchtodo 6y agoGreat product. No affiliation, just a satisfied user.
- rabidonrails 6y agoThanks! Our team works really hard so that every user feels like this :)
- ceejayoz 6y agoI used your service a few times when buying a house. One cURL call and it was done. Super easy and much appreciated.
- colinbartlett 6y agoI am amused and impressed that you chose an API and cURL to send a fax than any of the many apps and services built on top of that API.
- scop 6y agoI am likewise amused and completely agree with the idea. Every fax app I have used is either clunky, overpriced, or both. I hadn’t heard of Phaxio until now and am look forward to cURLing my next fax. However, there is some dark part of me that wants to make a clunky bash script for it nonetheless in order to keep me from enjoying sending a fax.
- ceejayoz 6y agoAt the time, all the ones I could find were like $1/page or more like a $30/month subscription. $0.05/page was well worth a cURL call, especially when the docs had great examples that just needed me to swap out the file name for mine.
