Polling service
Disclosed are various approaches for polling federated services for notifications. A request for an access token for a federated service is sent to an authentication service. The access token for the federated service is received from the authentication service. A query is sent to the federated service for a notification, the query comprising the access token. The notification is received from the federated service.
1. A system for polling federated services, comprising:
a computing device comprising a processor and a memory; and
machine-readable instructions stored in the memory that, when executed by the processor, cause the computing device to at least:
send a query to a federated service, the query comprising an access token associated with a user account;
receive a response from the federated service, the response comprising a notification corresponding to the user account and at least one action to be performed by a user associated with the user account; and
send the notification to a client application designated, during a registration process, by the user associated with the user account.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the notification has been generated since a previous query.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the machine-readable instructions, when executed, further cause the computing device to at least identify the client application executing on a client device.
4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the client application is identified based at least in part on an authentication credential associated with the client application.
5. The system of claim 3 , wherein sending the notification to the client device further comprises pushing the notification to the client application.
6. The system of claim 3 , wherein the client device is registered with a polling service.
7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the access token indicates that that the polling service is authorized to receive the response.
8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the notification is sent to the client device via at least one of an email message and a short message service (SMS) message.
9. A method for polling federated services, comprising:
sending a query to a federated service, the query comprising an access token associated with a user account;
receiving a response from the federated service, the response comprising an event corresponding to the user account and at least one action to be performed by a user associated with the user account; and
sending the event to a client application designated, during a registration process, by the user associated with the user account.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the event has occurred since a previous query.
11. The method of claim 9 , further comprising identifying the client application executing on a client device.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the client application is identified based at least in part on an authentication credential associated with the client application.
13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the event is sent to the client device via at least one of an email message and a short message service (SMS) message.
14. A non-transitory computer-readable medium for polling federated services, the non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising machine-readable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause a computing device to at least:
send a query to a federated service, the query comprising an access token associated with a user account;
receive a response from the federated service, the response comprising an action to be performed by a user with the federated service and at least one action to be performed by a user associated with the user account; and
send the action to a client application designated, during a registration process, by the user associated with the user account.
15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the machine-readable instructions, when executed by the processor, further cause the computing device to at least identify the client application executing on a client device.
16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the client application is identified based at least in part on an authentication credential associated with the client application.
17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the client device is registered with a polling service.
18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the access token indicates that that the polling service is authorized to receive the response.
19. The system of claim 1 , wherein the access token is received from an authentication service in response to a successful authentication.
20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the access token is received from an authentication service in response to a successful authentication.
