Subscribing to event feeds

Listing available feeds
As soon as there exists an event for an aggregate type a feed is created. We can see that a feed for our orderaggregate type is created by listing all available feeds:
cURL
cURL
curl -i \
  --header "Serialized-Access-Key: <YOUR_ACCESS_KEY>" \
  --header "Serialized-Secret-Access-Key: <YOUR_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY>" \
  https://api.serialized.io/feeds

    "aggregateType": "order",
    "aggregateCount": 1,
    "batchCount": 2,
    "eventCount": 2
  }
}
Polling order feed for updates
Let’s take a look at our order feed and list all events for all orders
cURL
cURL
curl -i \
  --header "Serialized-Access-Key: <YOUR_ACCESS_KEY>" \

The response below shows us all events (only two for now), grouped in batches (remember that it’s possible to save more than one event at a time). Each batch has a unique ever-increasing sequence number you can use for tracking which events you have processed. See our sample code for an example of how to poll a feed periodically.

The query parameter since can be appended to the URL to reduce the feed to only include “new” events.
https://api.serialized.io/feeds/order?since=123
The field hasMore in the feed response indicates whether the returned result got limited (because of size) or not. If it’s set to true you could immediately send a new poll request, with an updated since field, to keep on consuming events.
