kinto-changes 3.0.2

Plug Kinto notifications to a collection endpoint.

Kinto Changes

kinto-changes shows the list of collection timestamps, allowing to poll changes on several collections with one HTTP request.

Install

pip install kinto-changes

Setup

In the Kinto settings:

kinto.includes = kinto_changes

# List of buckets/collections to show:
kinto.changes.resources = /buckets/settings
                          /buckets/blocklists/collections/certificates

Cache Control

Like cache control in Kinto collections, it is possible to configure Cache-Control headers via some settings:

kinto.monitor.changes.record_cache_expires_seconds = 60

If cache busting query parameters then responses can be cached more agressively. If the setting below is set then a different cache control expiration will be set:

kinto.monitor.changes.record_cache_maximum_expires_seconds = 3600

Advanced options

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

kinto.changes.http_host = website.domain.tld

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

Endpoints

• GET /v1/buckets/monitor/collections/changes/records.

Returns the list of timestamps.

• GET /v1/buckets/{bid}/collections/{cid}/changeset?_expected={timestamp}.

Returns the following response for the collection:

• changes: list of records, optionnally filtered with ?_since="{timestamp}"

• metadata: collection attributes

• timestamp: records timestamp

Note: the _expected={} querystring parameter is mandatory but can contain any arbitrary value (used for cache busting).

• The monitor bucket and changes collection are not required anymore and are not created anymore.

• POST and DELETE are not supported on the changes endpoint anymore.

• Individual entries (eg. /buckets/monitor/collections/changes/records/{id}) cannot be accessed anymore.

• The listener was dropped. Configuration must be changed:

Before:

kinto.event_listeners = changes
kinto.event_listeners.changes.use = kinto_changes.listener
kinto.event_listeners.changes.http_host = website.domain.tld
kinto.event_listeners.changes.collections = /buckets/settings
                                            /buckets/blocklists/collections/certificates

Now:

kinto.changes.http_host = website.domain.tld
kinto.changes.resources = /buckets/settings
                          /buckets/blocklists/collections/certificates
