Ingest

With ingest you can import content into Superdesk. It supports multiple formats and ways of delivery.

Ingest is running using celery, an update is triggered every 30s.

superdesk.io.update_ingest()

Check ingest providers and trigger an update when appropriate.

It iterates over all providers and check if provider is not closed, and then checks last_updated time and schedule to realise if provider should be updated now or later. If now it runs another celery task for each so it can execute multiple updates in parallel.

superdesk.io.update_provider(provider, rule_set=None, routing_scheme=None)

Fetch items from ingest provider, ingest them into Superdesk and update the provider.

Parameters:
  • provider – Ingest Provider data
  • rule_set – Translation Rule Set if one is associated with Ingest Provider.
  • routing_scheme – Routing Scheme if one is associated with Ingest Provider.

Once provider is updated, last_updated time is updated and it will ignore that provider for some time according to schedule.
