mypseudo is a deployable utility for creating event-based HTTP callbacks (webhooks). It comes with a web interface and a scripting environment for extending functionality. It tries to intelligently emulate the publish-subscribe pattern by timing polls to indicated resources.
tl;dr set up MySQL, set up daemon, run webserver
- requests
- beautifulsoup4
- Flask
- MySQLdb
Install:
git clone git://github.com/wufufufu/mypseudo.git
Hopefully running sudo ./install.sh or if needed sudo chmod 755 ./install.sh first should create the MySQL tables/procedures along with the daemon.
Run sudo /etc/init.d/mypseudo start or sudo service mypseudo start to start the polling daemon.
If you're planning on just using the web interface occasionally and having it off the majority of the time, you can just run the development server with python server.py. For a more permanent interface, it's better to pair the WSGI instance with something like Apache. Default port is :5000.
A callback is paired with a parser script that takes the soup from a request and some variables to produce structured content and a decision of whether to actually send a request to the callback url.
