kinto-changes 0.5.0

Plug Kinto notifications to a collection endpoint.

kinto-changes tracks modifications of records in Kinto and stores the list of changed collection into a specific bucket and collection.

This plugin is useful to allow for polling on several collections changes with one HTTP request.

Install

pip install kinto-changes

Setup

In the Kinto settings:

kinto.includes = kinto_changes

kinto.event_listeners = changes
kinto.event_listeners.changes.use = kinto_changes.listener

Now everytime a record is modified, the list of modified collections is available at GET /v1/buckets/monitor/collections/changes/records.

Filter collections

It is possible to choose which collections are monitored:

kinto.event_listeners.changes.collections = <list of URIs>

For example, to be notified of record updates in the certificates collection, or every collections of the settings bucket:

kinto.event_listeners.changes.collections =
    /buckets/blocklists/collections/certificates
    /buckets/settings

Permissions

By default the list of changed collections is readable by anonymous users (system.Everyone). But the list of authorized principals can be specified in settings:

kinto.event_listeners.changes.principals =
    system.Authenticated
    group:admins
    twitter:@natim

Advanced options

By default, the list of changed collections is available in the changes collection in the monitor bucket. This can be specified in settings:

kinto.event_listeners.changes.bucket = monitor
kinto.event_listeners.changes.collection = changes

The changes entries will have a host attribute, that can be used to distinguish changes from several Kinto instances.

kinto.event_listeners.changes.http_host = website.domain.tld

By default, it will rely on the global setting kinto.http_host.
