  1. Change the name and output parameters for an existing Subscription:

    curl -X PUT 'https://api.datasift.com/v1.6/push/update' \
    -d 'id=f4d4caee9acfd27faf88843d8d6191b1' \
    -d 'name=myupdatedpushsubscription' \
    -d 'hash=SourceStreamHash' \
    -d 'output_type=s3' \
    -d 'output_params.bucket=datasift-s3' \
    -d 'output_params.directory=interactions' \
    -d 'output_params.acl=private' \
    -d 'output_params.auth.access_key=YourAmazonAWSAccessKey' \
    -d 'output_params.auth.secret_key=YourAmazonAWSSecretKey' \
    -d 'output_params.delivery_frequency=60' \
    -d 'output_params.max_size=102400' \
    -d 'output_params.file_prefix=Datasift' \
    -H 'Authorization: datasift-user:your-datasift-api-key'

    The new name and output parameters are echoed back in the JSON to confirm that your change is accepted. If an error occurs, DataSift writes it to the message log. Hit the push/log endpoint regularly to check the log.

Notes

  1. All calls to the API must be properly authenticated with a DataSift username and API key.
  2. The /push/update endpoint allows you to modify the name or output parameters for an existing Subscription.
  3. You can hit the push/update endpoint any time you want, even when the Subscription that you're changing is running. However, if you change your destination, DataSift will immediately halt delivery to the original destination and begin to deliver to the new destination.
  4. For more details, take a look at the Push API overview.
  5. All calls to the API must be versioned. The current version is v1.6.
