PubSubHubbub subscriber module. Supports both 0.3 and 0.4 hubs.
NB Do not upgrade from v0.1.x - the API is totally different
Install with npm
npm install pubsubhubbub
Create a pubsubhubbub server object
var pubSubHubbub = require("pubsubhubbub");
var pubSubSubscriber = pubSubHubbub.createServer(options);Where options includes the following properties
- callbackUrl Callback URL for the hub
- headers (optional) Custom headers to use for all HTTP requests
- secret (optional) Secret value for HMAC signatures
- maxContentSize (optional) Maximum allowed size of the POST messages
- username (optional) Username for HTTP Authentication
- password (optional) Password for HTTP Authentication
- sendImmediately (optional) Send Username & Password Immediately. Defaults to false.
Start a HTTP server to listen incoming PubSubHubbub requests
// listen on port 1337
pubSubSubscriber.listen(1337);If you dot want to spin up a dedicated HTTP server, you can use the PubSubHubbub subscriber as an Express middleware.
Attach PubSubHubbub object to an Express server using listener method.
// use the same path as defined in callbackUrl
app.use("/pubsubhubbub", pubSubSubscriber.listener());
- 'listen' - HTTP server has been set up and is listening for incoming connections
- 'error' (err) - An error has occurred
- 'subscribe' (data) - Subscription for a feed has been updated
- 'unsubscribe' (data) - Subscription for a feed has been cancelled
- 'denied' (data) - Subscription has been denied
- 'feed' (data) - Incoming notification
Start listening on selected port
pubSubSubscriber.listen(port)
Where
- port is the HTTP port to listen
Subscribe to a feed with
pubSubSubscriber.subscribe(topic, hub, callback)
Where
- topic is the URL of the RSS/ATOM feed to subscribe to
- hub is the hub for the feed
- callback (optional) is the callback function with an error object if the subscription failed
Example:
var pubSubSubscriber = pubSubHubbub.createServer(options);
var topic = "http://testetstetss.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default";
var hub = "http://pubsubhubbub.appspot.com/";
pubSubSubscriber.on("subscribe", function(data){
console.log(data.topic + " subscribed");
});
pubSubSubscriber.listen(port);
pubsub.on("listen", function(){
pubSubSubscriber.subscribe(topic, hub, function(err){
if(err){
console.log("Failed subscribing");
}
});
});
Unsubscribe from a feed with
pubSubSubscriber.unsubscribe(topic, hub, callback)
Where
- topic is the URL of the RSS/ATOM feed to unsubscribe from
- hub is the hub for the feed
- callback (optional) is the callback function with an error object if the unsubscribing failed
Example:
var pubSubSubscriber = pubSubHubbub.createServer(options),
topic = "http://testetstetss.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default",
hub = "http://pubsubhubbub.appspot.com/";
pubSubSubscriber.on("unsubscribe", function(data){
console.log(data.topic + " unsubscribed");
});
pubSubSubscriber.listen(port);
pubSubSubscriber.on("listen", function(){
pubSubSubscriber.unsubscribe(topic, hub, function(err){
if(err){
console.log("Failed unsubscribing");
}
});
});
Update notifications can be checked with the 'feed' event. The data object is with the following structure:
- topic - Topic URL
- hub - Hub URL, might be undefined
- callback - Callback URL that was used by the Hub
- feed - Feed XML as a Buffer object
- headers - Request headers object
