poll radiothon status from donormotor #397

Open echarlie opened 3 years ago

echarlie commented 3 years ago

since the donation app needs to know radiothon mode for donation handling, and will have the UI for editing those redis values there, we should poll it.

We'll want to make sure we cache the status for a sufficient amount of time (maybe 5 minutes or something) so we don't unnecessarily impact performance on either end. Ideally we'd perform the cache update asynchronously as well; we probably don't want to slow page loads for this.

yes. we should shove it in redis as we do now. Celery is the way we're doing asynchronous tasks in wuvt-site, yes?

donormotor currently exposes radiothon status as /api/v1/radiothon, which returns {"radiothon": "true"} (or false). it is an incredibly naïve API.
