Order Webhooks or Polling? new v2 API?

[R. S.]

Hi all!

Our app needs to get notified whenever there's a new order from a
client shop. However, so far, we've had to poll the Etsy API servers
every 15 minutes just to know if any orders have been placed. The
other apps we use (Shopify & Recurly) both have "webhooks" that push
this data to us as it happens so that we don't have to poll and
needlessly consume API resources.

Does this capability exist in the new API? If so, how can we go about
using it? If not, what are the thoughts around this method of
integration?

Thanks!

You could subscribe to the per-shop PuSH feeds and watch for updates where the quantity changes or the state changes to sold out.

In the past the Etsy team has said they are receptive to creating other types of PuSH feeds so maybe they will create one for Orders.

Thanks -- there are many reasons why an order quantity / state could
change, but I suppose this is better than constant polling - I'll look
into that!

Etsy team - consider this a vote for order creation PuSH feeds!

Etsy Developer Team: are receipt creation PuSH feeds on the radar? I'm
using the above method as a bit of a hack, but would prefer a PuSH
feed for receipts.
