| <h2>Publishing</h2> | |||
| <p>To publish content using Switchboard as your hub, add the following tags to your HTML feeds:</p> | |||
| <p><pre><link rel="self" href="https://example.com/"> | |||
| <link rel="hub" href="https://switchboard.p3k.io/"></pre></p> | |||
| <p>When you add a new item to the feed, send a POST request to <code>https://switchboard.p3k.io/</code> with the following | |||
| parameters:</p> | |||
| <p> | |||
| <ul> | |||
| <li><code>hub.mode=publish</code></li> | |||
| <li><code>hub.topic=https://example.com/</code></li> | |||
| </ul> | |||
| </p> | |||
| <p>Switchboard will send notifications to every subscriber that your feed has been updated. The request that Switchboard sends to your subscribers will be a POST request with no body. This is known as a "thin ping". Your subscribers will then request your feed to find updates.</p> | |||
| <h2>Subscribing</h2> | |||
| <p>If you are subscribing to a feed that uses Switchboard as its hub, here is what you can expect.</p> | |||
| <h3>Verification</h3> | |||
| <p>When you first request the subscription, Switchboard will send a verification request to your callback URL. The verification request will be a GET request to your callback URL with the following query parameters:</p> | |||
| <p> | |||
| <ul> | |||
| <li><code>hub.mode=subscribe</code></li> | |||
| <li><code>hub.topic=</code> the topic URL that you requested to subscribe to</li> | |||
| <li><code>hub.challenge=</code> a random string that you will need to echo to confirm the subscription</li> | |||
| <li><code>hub.lease_seconds=</code> the number of seconds this subscription will remain active</li> | |||
| </ul> | |||
| </p> | |||
| <p>To confirm the subscription, you will need to respond with <code>HTTP 200</code> and the body of the response must be exactly equal to the challenge string. Any other response will not activate your subscription.</p> | |||
| <h3>Notifications</h3> | |||
| <p>When there is new content available from the topic URL, Switchboard will send a POST request to your callback URL.</p> | |||
| <p>This POST request will have no body, and is meant to be an indication that the URL has been updated, and that you can fetch the new contents from there.</p> | |||
