URL to register callback #2

Closed rboy1 closed 8 years ago

Also posted the question on zipsnet Any idea what the URL would be to register a callback notification for alerts?

I haven't seen any callback stuff in what I have looked at so far - the API seems to assume that clients will poll for status at regular intervals - which is what the mobile client does.

The REST API isn't really meant to be public, yet - it feels pretty coupled to the mobile app. A true public API is still on Blink's roadmap, I would expect things like callbacks at that point.

Awesome thanks, somehow looking at the code I got the impression that it was registering a callback. I think you're right because if I enable it remotely and I look at the mobile app it doesn't seem to register it until I refresh it.

Do you know what it's looking at? I'm presuming references to unwatched videos and events or am I missing something?

I see this while making all Blink API calls hence my suspicision

BlinkAPI.BlinkAPICallback()

There could very well be callbacks in the client API. When I traced the HTTP network behavior of the client, I did not see anything that led me to believe there were callbacks being. My network trace only focused on HTTP traffic and arming/disarming behavior. Somebody else may know more and be able to chime in.
