Widget Instances
See also strawman for 0.8.2 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WOOKIE-34
An instance is identified using a combination of the following parameters:
- api_key: The key issued to a particular application
- shareddatakey: The key generated by an application representing a specific context (e.g. a page, post, section, group or other identified context)
- userid: An identifier (typically a hash rather than a real user Id) issued by an application representing the current viewer of the widget instance
- widgetid: The URI of the widget this is an instance of (optional, see servicetype below)
- servicetype: Where an individual widget is not requested by URI as above, this parameter should contain the category of widget to be instantiated, e.g. "chat"
- locale: The preferred locale of the widget, expressed using a BCP47 Language Tag
