Followup question: I can use api to send “show channels” or “oz list” but when I use bgapi to send those commands I don’t get anything back from the event socket.  Any thoughts?

Subject: [Freeswitch-users] Event socket: api vs. bgapi

 

Question:

 

Are there compelling reasons *not* to use api for simple commands like “show channels” or “oz list”?  Since api is blocking and bgapi is non-blocking I just wondered if there are recommendations for when to use each one.  I can definitely see why you’d use bgapi for an “originate” command.  I didn’t see anything on the wiki that discussed when to use api vs. bgapi so I’ll be happy to write up a blurb on the recommended use of each one.

 

Thanks,

MC
