Request pusher credentials from http://pusherapp.com
First, instantiate a pusher, using your API key
import pusherapp
pusher = pusherapp.Pusher(app_id='your-pusher-app-id',
key='your-pusher-api-key', secret='your-pusher-secret')
Next, trigger an event
pusher['channel'].trigger('event', data={'msg': 'Hello world!'})
You probably want to run this in a taskqueue... read on for details...
Typical usage (e.g. using a taskqueue, see: http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/taskqueue/):
import pusherapp
from google.appengine.api import urlfetch
from google.appengine.api.labs import taskqueue
from google.appengine.ext import webapp
class MyWebAppRequestHandler(webapp.RequestHandler):
def get(self):
# ...
def post(self):
# ...
# Trigger some event with pusherapp, using a taskqueue
# The task will be picked up by WorkerPushRequestHandler, below
taskqueue.add(url='/worker/push/channel/event', params={'msg': 'Hello world!'})
# ...
class WorkerPushRequestHandler(webapp.RequestHandler):
pusher_api_key = "{your-pusher-api-key}"
pusher_app_id = "{your-pusher-app-id}"
pusher_secret = "{your-pusher-secret}"
def post(self, channel, event):
# Construct pusher...
pusher = pusherapp.Pusher(app_id=self.pusher_app_id,
key=self.pusher_api_key, secret=self.pusher_secret)
# Construct data from request parameters...
data = dict([(arg, self.request.get(arg)) for arg in self.request.arguments()])
# Trigger the event...
result = pusher[channel].trigger(event, data=data)
# Handle success/failure...
if result.status_code >= 200 and result.status_code <= 299:
self.response.headers["Content-Type"] = "text/plain"
self.response.out.write("OK")
else:
self.error(result.status_code)
