Thanks. I'll get this on the wiki right away. Clarification questions:
does one need to subscribe to the background job just once per session
in order to receive all subsequent bgapi events? Also, is it the case
that subscribing to "events plain all" does not include bgapi events?
I'm testing and it looks like that's the case but I want to confirm.
Thanks,
MC

when you do bgapi you actually have to subscribe to the background
job event to get the results.
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.
The bgapi returns a job-uuid that you need to save and use it to tie
the background_job event to the original request.
The decision to use api vs bgapi is weather or not you want to get
the results right away or not. So usually show channels etc is a
case where you want to do it in the foreground.
Also to further complicate things, bgapi is an event socket command
only so it cannot be used from cli xml-rpc etc.
BUT, there is actually a *bgapi* FSAPI command you can execute to
run any FSAPI in the same fashion.
so raw event socket command
api bgapi show channels
is the same as raw event socket command
bgapi show channels
but, you can also say "bgapi show channels" from the cli/xml-rpc/
dialplan etc as well.

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
