<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><font size=3
face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>when you do bgapi you
actually have to subscribe to the background job event to get the results.<br>
Since it's an async operation, the command is executed in it's own thread and
when the results are collected they are put in the event's body.<br>
<br>
The bgapi returns a job-uuid that you need to save and use it to tie the
background_job event to the original request.<br>
<br>
The decision to use api vs bgapi is weather or not you want to get the results
right away or not.&nbsp; So usually show channels etc is a case where you want
to do it in the foreground.<br>
<br>
Also to further complicate things, bgapi is an event socket command only so it
cannot be used from cli xml-rpc etc.<br>
BUT, there is actually a *bgapi* FSAPI command you can execute to run any FSAPI
in the same fashion.<br>
<br>
so raw event socket command<br>
api bgapi show channels<br>
<br>
is the same as raw event socket command<br>
<br>
bgapi show channels<br>
<br>
but, you can also say &quot;bgapi show channels&quot; from the
cli/xml-rpc/dialplan etc as well.<br>
