Callback URL

Each Antville site provides a setting to define a callback URL that will be invoked each time the site content has changed. This way users can define custom handlers for different site events with their own code running behind this URL – on a server and in a programming language of their choice.

The callback URL will be invoked as an HTTP POST request with the following parameters:

type

Resource type (e.g. Story or Comment)

id

Numeric identifier of the resource

url

URL string of the resource

date

Date string in Unix timestamp format

user

Name of the account that triggered the event

site

Title or name of the site

origin

URL string of the site

Antville itself provides a default callback URL invoking the basic ping method of the weblogs.com API.
