[asterisk-app-dev] ARI Global Data Accessibility Changes

[Ben Merrills]

That makes sense!

At the end of the day, I should only be getting information I can do something about, by default. And yes, I agree that it makes sense to incorporate some options for the filtering too.

Subject: [asterisk-app-dev] ARI Global Data Accessibility Changes

Hello App Developers,
We have been thinking about what information is exposed via the ARI requests for lists of channels (GET /ari/channels) and bridges (GET /ari/bridges). Currently, these requests return all information about any channel or bridge in the system.

As an example, imagine you have channels SIP/Alice and SIP/Bob in the Stasis() application being bridged by ARI-created bridge Foo.  In the same system, you also have channels SIP/Charlie and SIP/David being bridged by Dial()-created bridge DialBridge. When you GET /ari/channels, you will receive:
[
   { "name": "SIP/Alice", ... },
   { "name": "SIP/Bob", ... },
   { "name": "SIP/Charlie", ... },
   { "name": "SIP/David", ... }
]

When you GET /ari/bridges, you will receive:
[
  { "id": "Foo", ... },
  { "id": "DialBridge", ... }
]

This situation is non-ideal since channels SIP/Charlie and SIP/David and bridge DialBridge can not be acted upon via ARI. We propose limiting these queries to channels and bridges which ARI can affect. In this case, the /ari/channels query would return:
[
   { "name": "SIP/Alice", ... },
   { "name": "SIP/Bob", ... }
]
The /ari/bridges query would return:
[
  { "id": "Foo", ... }
]

The rework would also include an optional filter parameter for ARI user or Stasis application to increase the available granularity.
