What do you mean by type 'list'? What ARI operation are you using to get
details for the bridge?

This sounds about right. After the first channel enters your application,
you need to originate a call to the second channel and then put them both
in the bridge. Once that is done, getting the details of that bridge will
show both channels under the channels property, which will be an array of
channel ids. Please see
https://github.com/asterisk/ari-py/blob/master/examples/originate_example.pyfor
an example of how to do this using ari-py. The same functionality
could
be accomplished by making direct calls to ARI of course.
