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
