watching for changes #78

Closed chrwei closed 4 years ago

chrwei commented 4 years ago

the Keep web page uses long polling to watch for note changes. has there been any attempt to use it to add a callback method to make use of it? is there a reason it can't be used?

the interesting relative URI is /client-channel/channel/bind?ctype=memento...

This library makes use of the mobile app endpoints, which are authenticated via OAuth as opposed to cookies. I ran a quick grep against the smali for channel/bind but didn't surface any matches.

It might be possible to trade OAuth tokens for cookies that would work for that endpoint. If I recall correctly, that might also allow us to upload media files as well.

Do you think it would be possible to poll the API for changes? E.g. every 15 seconds or maybe even every minute. I guess there's a chance though, that Google may consider it as abusing their API...

You can call sync() periodically - it's effectively what the clients all do.
