Hi steve, in wowza 4.1 the Rest api documentation area released.

> [Access reference documentation for the REST API](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-access-documentation-for-wowza-streaming-engine-rest-api)

I guess you’ll need to call rest api while adding new application to see in application list. As I understand your question, the application list isn’t generated by folder reading , it takes value from sqllite or equivalent.
