[Freeswitch-users] Help Needed Generating Calls with Web API and Python

[I put the Who? in Mishehu]

Have you attempted to run the command, minus the "bgapi" part directly 
from fs_cli or the FreeSWITCH console?  I would recommend doing this, 
and enabling debug output (f8).  It will be a bit painfully verbose, but 
it should reveal some information.  Based upon the information you 
provided, you're not actually giving any handling commands to this new 
channel that you are originating.  It needs to bridge to something or 
run some sort of dialplan application otherwise it vanishes as quickly 
as it was created.
