Status of PubSubHubbub within Drupal [#966604]

Hello Alex,

I'm currently investigating if its possible to push out content with PubSubHubbub using Drupal.

I have set up two websites where the one acting as a HUB (PubSubHubbub Hub enabled) contains the content to be aggregated and where the other website is aggregating the content feed using the Feed module. If possible i would like the site consuming the feed to be updated in real time when the feed has changed with without the need for any polling. Is this possible right now? Feel free to point me at any resources on the web . My aspiration is that when i get up to speed that i can help out generally with Ostatus integration & later would like to roll an instance of drupal that does federation out of the box.

Thanks for all your hard work :-)

Best,
Paul Booker

Hi Paul, Feeds module now supports pubsubhubbub, so your Drupal site can now act as a subscriber to a hub, allowing you to receive content without polling. See:

On your wider goal with oStatus integration, there are a bunch of us who are also interested in this, we met up at Drupalcon Copenhagen and as a result this group was set up; not much action at the mo but worth joining as it would be good to get everyone interested in this together:
