## Abstract

The embodiments of the present application provide a resource subscription method, a device, and a storage medium, a subscription device and a resource collection device respectively maintain a current tag of a subscription resource, where the tag of the subscription resource is generated according to a generation rule, tags generated according to the generation rule have an association relationship; during a resource update process, the subscription device may determine whether a version is missing according to the current tag of the subscription resource transmitted by the resource collection device, a tag of the subscription resource stored locally and the generation rule. Since one or more versions before a current version of the target resource are stored on the resource collection device, the subscription device may request a missing version from the resource collection device when a version is missing, thereby ensuring that the user will not miss the subscription resource.
