Requests a single update from a subject.

The subscriptionParameters argument takes the following JSON configuration attributes:
Attribute name Type Default Optional Description
structureonly boolean false Yes If this value is set, the subscription will not provide field data updates
keepinaccessible boolean false Yes If this value is set, the container will keep elements that are unavailable.

For example: ["field_a","field_b","field_d"]

filter {value: string, image: boolean} No filter is applied. Yes A filter that restricts the number of field updates that will be received.

The value string specifies the filter criteria. For example: (dLast >50) & (dVolumeAcc > 1000)/code>, means that the Liberator sends updates only when the value of the field dLast is greater than 50 and the dVolumeAcc field is greater than 1000.

When the image boolean is true, the filter not applied until after the data within a particular update has been applied to the image of the data item. When image is false, the update filter is applied just to the data within a particular update of the data item.

For more information about filters, see the 'Filtering data' section of the document StreamLink Overview.

window {start: int, size: int} Updates are returned for the whole container (subject to any filter applied). Yes When the subscription is to a container, this attribute defines a window that begins at the element defined by start, and is size elements long. Liberator only returns updates for the elements that are in the window. The first element in a container starts at position 0 (zero).
select {where: string, orderby: string, groupby: string} Updates are returned for the whole container in creation order. Yes When the subscription is to a container and the backend system is running Caplin Refiner, this attribute defines the selection and sorting applied to the container.

Parameters:

where: The where clause, in the form accepted by Caplin Refiner (example bid>123&ask<222). Use the caplin.streamlink.ContainerFilterFactory to help build valid where clauses.

orderby: The sorting order of the returned container in the form: field [ASC|DESC] [NUMBER|TEXT], ... example: bid DESC NUMBER,ask ASC NUMBER

groupby: The group by clause in the form: field example: bid

freeform [string] Free form string parameters. Yes Freeform subscription parameters allows you to pass parameters to subscriptions for subject types that are not records or containers. They can be used to define filter expressions for filtering news headlines. For more information about news headlines, and the syntax and rules for defining news filter expressions, see the "News filtering" section of the StreamLink Overview
json [string] jsonpath filter string parameter. Yes Sets the filter that restricts the the information returned by the subscription. The filtering is performed by the Liberator, rather than the client, so that bandwidth and client side processing are reduced.

For more details on the format of the filter string, please see https://goessner.net/articles/JsonPath/.

headers [{header:"header1", value:"value1"}, {header:"header2", value:"value2"}, ...] Array of HTTP headers applied to the mapped REST enndpoint. Yes Applies HTTP headers to the REST endpoint, applies only to subjects mapped to REST endpoints in the Liberator.

When the image boolean is true, the filter not applied until after the data within a particular update has been applied to the image of the data item. When image is false, the update filter is applied just to the data within a particular update of the data item.

Liberator only returns updates for the elements that are in the window. The first element in a container starts at position 0 (zero).
freeform [string] Free form string parameters. Yes Freeform subscription parameters allows you to pass parameters to subscriptions for subject types that are not records or containers. They can be used to define filter expressions for filtering news headlines. For more information about news headlines, and the syntax and rules for defining news filter expressions, see the "News filtering" section of the StreamLink Overview
json [string] jsonpath filter string parameter. Yes Sets the filter that restricts the the information returned by the subscription. The filtering is performed by the Liberator, rather than the client, so that bandwidth and client side processing are reduced.

select {where: string, orderby: string, groupby: string} Updates are returned for the whole container in creation order. Yes When the subscription is to a container and the backend system is running Caplin Refiner, this attribute defines the selection and sorting applied to the container.

Parameters:

where: The where clause, in the form accepted by Caplin Refiner (example bid>123&ask<222).
Use the caplin.streamlink.ContainerFilterFactory to build valid where clauses (see example below).

orderby: The sorting order of the returned container in the form: field [ASC|DESC] [NUMBER|TEXT], ... example: bid DESC NUMBER,ask ASC NUMBER

groupby: The group by clause in the form: field [,field] example: bid,ask

Container filtering example using the ContainerFilterFactory to build the where clause:


 // Build an expression for FIELD1 > 0.1 AND FIELD3 = "a a"
 var exp1 = caplin.streamlink.ContainerFilterFactory
   .create("FIELD1", caplin.streamlink.FilterExpressionOperator.GREATER_THAN, "0.1");
 var exp2 = caplin.streamlink.ContainerFilterFactory
   .create("FIELD3", caplin.streamlink.FilterExpressionOperator.EQUAL, "a a");
 var exp1Andexp2 = caplin.streamlink.ContainerFilterFactory
   .createLogical(caplin.streamlink.FilterExpressionLogicalOperator.AND, exp1, exp2);

 var subscription = streamLink.subscribe("/container", subscriptionListener,
                  {"select":
                         {
                             "where": exp1Andexp2.toFilterString(),
                             "orderby": "FIELD1"
                         }
                     });
 

Note: if you subscribe to a container multiple times, then include one or both of the configuration attributes window and select in each subscription to the container. The presence of either of these attributes indicates to StreamLink that the subject is a container, and causes StreamLink to add a sequential container-instance identifier to the subscription request. Liberator uses this identifier to support multiple subscriptions to the same container; without this identifier, only the first subscription to a container will have a container instance and receive updates. If you don't want to window or filter a container, then specify a window with a large size, for example window:{start:0, size:999999999}.

Parameters
