| Oct 15, 2014 at 0:26 | comment | added | Rakesh Adhikesavan | @GregHewgill Could you tell me how to repackage the stream provided by the /events service into a form similar to the Twitter Streaming API ? I would like to try to re-create your service for my purpose, but I don't know where to start .. any help would be great.. Thanks | |
| Oct 12, 2014 at 21:07 | comment | added | Greg Hewgill | Yes, there seems to be something wrong with my firehose service. I am not in a position to investigate right now. | |
| Oct 12, 2014 at 21:06 | comment | added | Rakesh Adhikesavan | @GregHewgill: /events of the API seems to work fine. I just checked. | |
| Oct 12, 2014 at 20:42 | comment | added | Rakesh Adhikesavan | @GregHewgill: I can't get the link to work right now. There are no updates. | |
| Aug 23, 2014 at 2:45 | comment | added | Greg Hewgill | @RakeshAdhikesavan: No, it won't stop because of a throttle. If you get disconnected for some reason, just reconnect. | |
| Aug 23, 2014 at 0:13 | comment | added | Rakesh Adhikesavan | @GregHewgill, Are there limitations to using stackhose? if I run curl stackoverflow.hewgill.com:8080/firehose/stackoverflow , would it stop at some point because of the API's throttles? | |
| Aug 15, 2014 at 22:51 | comment | added | Greg Hewgill | @RakeshAdhikesavan: Yes, you could use the firehose to get notifications about all new activity, and throw away everything that does not relate to your particular question of interest. Of course if you're writing your own program, you'll probably want to use the /events interface directly; the stuff I wrote is designed for consumption within a browser. | |
| Aug 15, 2014 at 20:50 | comment | added | Rakesh Adhikesavan | @GregHewgill I am writing an application where I want to track the activity of a particular post. For instance, if I post a question, I want to track the answers, comments and votes on that post in real time. Can I use a similar approach to achieve this? | |
| Feb 13, 2014 at 17:22 | comment | added | Greg Hewgill | @SarathSaleem: I'm afraid not. The /events service does not return tag information, so a request would need to be made for each question (these can be batched). This is something a client can do if required. | |
| Feb 13, 2014 at 15:14 | comment | added | Sarath Saleem | @GregHewgill is there any way to get the tags related to the question? | |
