Today, Telnyx is excited to announce the release of HTTP requests functionality for all of our TeXML users. 

Previously, using our dynamic low-code solution, TeXML, users didn’t have the option of getting data from external systems. Now they do! Users will now be able to integrate their systems using HTTP requests from a TeXML file without needing their own server-side application.

The functionality allows users to retrieve required information for the call flow from external systems and makes it possible to send notifications to any REST API.

To learn more about this feature, please review the [tutorial](https://devdocs.telnyx.com/docs/v2/voice/programmable_voice/texml/texml_sending_http_requests/ "Sending HTTP Requests in TeXML") and feel free to [reach out](https://telnyx.com/contact-us) to a member of our sales team with any additional questions.

We recently added local calling services to 14 additional countries–Albania, Argentina, Bosnia And Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Chile, Costa Rica, Georgia, Israel, Japan, New Zealand, Panama, Peru, Serbia and Thailand.

Local calling gives calling parties using Telnyx CLIs the ability to guarantee localized CLI. Local calling typically provides increased quality, higher ACD (Average Call Duration) and reduced PDD (Post-dial delay).

You can get started with local calling from Telnyx by [signing in](https://portal.telnyx.com "Mission Control Portal") to your Mission Control Portal account and [purchasing a number](https://portal.telnyx.com/#/app/numbers/search-numbers "Number Search and Order") from any of the 48 markets where we offer this service.
