Polling on a question?

Question

I want to provide a in-product bubble notification when someone answers a question.

Is there an API I can call in my product's idle loop to check if someone has answered my question?

Answer 1

you can use the History Plugin

https://github.com/NoahY/q2a-history

• shows almost all events in list
• shows incoming events (e.g. user's question voted on)
• shows points gained and lost for each event if applicable.
• option to replace old activity list
• set max age of events to show in admin/plugins
• set event exceptions to hide from event user, and those to show to public via admin/plugins
• css configurable, all strings configurable via admin/plugins

Note : In Admin > Plugins you have to enable the Event Logger
