Marchex Call Search API

Question

Has anyone had luck setting up an API for Marchex call tracking data? It uses JSON-RPC and for the life of me I cannot get it to work using the download tool.

Marchex support says they can't really help because they don't have experience with Alteryx (which is a conversation for another day).

I'd appreciate any insight.

Thanks for the suggestion. I did eventually get this up and running in Alteryx. I will check out the tool you suggested though, as we seem to be doing a lot of APIs these days.

I’ve worked with several call tracking APIs and ran into similar roadblocks, especially when platforms rely on JSON-RPC or less-documented formats. One thing that helped streamline everything was switching to Phonexa. Their API is well-documented, supports both inbound and outbound call tracking, and integrates smoothly with tools like Alteryx or Zapier without needing workarounds. If you’re spending more time troubleshooting than analyzing data, it might be worth considering a platform that’s built for both marketing teams and data workflows.

Hi, I've had it working in Postman....about 3 years ago. I tried to set it up today and the interface has changed so much I decided to try other options.

This is not my first API. It is however, the only one that I've never been able to get running in Alteryx.

I'll dive into your hints and links above a little more. Thank you!
