Overview

This node interacts with the Asterisk PBX system via the Asterisk REST Interface (ARI) to manage call bridges. Specifically, the 'Get' operation under the 'Bridges' resource retrieves detailed information about a specific bridge using its unique Bridge ID. This is useful in scenarios where you need to monitor or manage active call bridges, such as checking the status or properties of a bridge during a call flow.

Use Case Examples

1. Retrieve details of a specific call bridge by providing its Bridge ID to monitor call status or troubleshoot call issues.
2. Use the node to fetch bridge information before performing further operations like adding or removing channels from the bridge.

Properties

Output

JSON

• bridge - The detailed information about the requested bridge, including its properties and current state.

Troubleshooting

• Ensure the Bridge ID provided is correct and corresponds to an existing bridge in the Asterisk system; otherwise, the node may return an error or no data.
• Verify that the API credentials are valid and have sufficient permissions to access bridge information.
• Common error messages may include authentication failures or resource not found errors if the bridge ID does not exist.
