Real-time notification content types

mfeltscher - Have a look here - http://community.lithium.com/t5/Product-ideas/User-Activity-API/idi-p/102657

We've considered using an Analytics platform to record and retrieve this data in real-time, however its a lot of work for something that should be available directly via the Lithium API. 

I dunno if Bulk Data is any help - http://community.lithium.com/t5/Lithium-Social-Intelligence-LSI/Using-the-Lithium-Bulk-Data-API/ta-p/178715

Thank you for the clarification ManishS !

EDIT: Ooops I misunderstood the above reply with my wishful thinking ;) 

I'd suggest this TKB article should reflect these updates - http://community.lithium.com/t5/Developers-Knowledge-Base/Subscribing-to-community-events-using-the-REST-API/ta-p/14785

cblown I don't think the same can be achieved by subscribing to community events, but it sure would be very nice if it did. Are you currently using real-time notifications via the API and could give me some information on how you implemented this?

Sorry I got my wires crossed as I was looking at this thread by amanda_optly http://community.lithium.com/t5/Developers-Discussion/Adding-Analytics-Events-to-Kudos/td-p/182559 about hooking in analytics on these very same actions. For a second I thought Lithium had expanded the event subscriptions and not told anyone :) I agree having a push style event model instead of polling would be great.

We've looked at using the notifications API to create a "my friends activity" component however it hasn't moved much more than a basic concept. 

Sounds interesting.

We are currently looking into real-time notifications and how to use them in a third-party application using the API or some websocket-like service we could subscribe to. Unfortunatelly, there is very little (or no) documentation about this stuff..
