Abstract
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.
Claims20
A method for polling federated services for notifications, comprising:
- requesting an access token for a federated service from an authentication service;
- receiving the access token from the authentication service;
- sending a query to the federated service for a notification, the query comprising the access token;
- receiving the notification from the federated service;
- identifying a user-designated client application based at least in part on an authentication credential stored in association with the user-designated client application;
- and
- sending the notification to an instance of the user-designated client application executing on a client device.
A system for polling federated services for notifications, comprising:
- a computing device comprising a processor and a memory;
- machine-readable instructions stored in the memory that, when executed by the processor, cause the computing device to at least:
- request an access token for a federated service from an authentication service;
- receive the access token from the authentication service;
- send a query to the federated service for a notification, the query comprising the access token;
- receive the notification from the federated service;
- identify a user-designated client application based at least in part on an authentication credential stored in association with the user-designated client application;
- and
- send the notification to an instance of the user-designated client application executing on a client device.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium for polling federated services for notifications, the non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising machine-readable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause a computing device to at least:
- request an access token for a federated service from an authentication service;
- receive the access token from the authentication service;
- send a query to the federated service for a notification, the query comprising the access token;
- receive the notification from the federated service;
- identify a user-designated client application based at least in part on an authentication credential stored in association with the user-designated client application;
- and
- send the notification to an instance of the user-designated client application executing on a client device.
