Streaming API
|
||
|
|
=============
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Your application can use a server-sent events endpoint to receive updates in real-time. Server-sent events is an incredibly simple transport method that relies entirely on chunked-encoding transfer, i.e. the HTTP connection is kept open and receives new data periodically.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Endpoints:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**GET /api/v1/streaming/user**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Returns events that are relevant to the authorized user, i.e. home timeline and notifications
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**GET /api/v1/streaming/public**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Returns all public statuses
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**GET /api/v1/streaming/hashtag**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Returns all public statuses for a particular hashtag (query param `tag`)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Stream contents
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The stream will contain events as well as heartbeat comments. Lines that begin with a colon (`:`) can be ignored by parsers, they are simply there to keep the connection open. Events have this structure:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
event: name
|
||
|
|
data: payload
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
