WireAPI

Top

The Wire API allows clients to subscribe and publish to Volt wire resources.

PublishWire()

Establishes a client-streaming call to the wire resource.

Request: streaming PublishWireRequest

Response: streaming PublishWireResponse

SubscribeWire()

Establishes a bi-directional streaming call to the wire resource.

Although we're only really interested in receiving data from the wire, a bi-directional stream is required so that we can gracefully stop the subscription.

Request: streaming SubscribeWireRequest

Response: streaming SubscribeWireResponse

PublishWireRequest

Because the publish RPC is streaming, the policy will not be checked until the first message arrives. This can mean that the `PublishWire` call appears to succeed but then fails after the first attempt to publish a message.

To avoid this, clients can immediately send a message with the `wire_id` set and no `chunk` set. This will establish that the correct permissions are in place and fail fast if not.

Field	Type	Description
wire_id	string	Only necessary in the first payload.
chunk	bytes	The chunk of data to publish.

PublishWireResponse

Field	Type	Description
status	Status	Details of any error that occurred on the call.

SubscribeWireRequest

The request must include one of the following fields.

Field	Type	Description
wire_id	string	The wire id, only required for the first message.
stop	bool	Request to stop the subscription.

SubscribeWireResponse

One of the following fields will be present in the response.

Field	Type	Description
status	Status	Details of any error that occured on the call.
chunk	bytes	Data received from the wire.

Status

Field	Type	Description
code	int32	A simple error code that can be easily handled by the client. Mirrors the grpc StatusCode enum, 0 => OK
message	string	A developer-facing human-readable error message in English. It should both explain the error and offer an actionable resolution to it.
description	string	Long form error description.

Scalar Value Types

.proto Type	Notes	C++	Java	Python	Go	C#	PHP	Ruby
double		double	double	float	float64	double	float	Float
float		float	float	float	float32	float	float	Float
int32	Uses variable-length encoding. Inefficient for encoding negative numbers – if your field is likely to have negative values, use sint32 instead.	int32	int	int	int32	int	integer	Bignum or Fixnum (as required)
int64	Uses variable-length encoding. Inefficient for encoding negative numbers – if your field is likely to have negative values, use sint64 instead.	int64	long	int/long	int64	long	integer/string	Bignum
uint32	Uses variable-length encoding.	uint32	int	int/long	uint32	uint	integer	Bignum or Fixnum (as required)
uint64	Uses variable-length encoding.	uint64	long	int/long	uint64	ulong	integer/string	Bignum or Fixnum (as required)
sint32	Uses variable-length encoding. Signed int value. These more efficiently encode negative numbers than regular int32s.	int32	int	int	int32	int	integer	Bignum or Fixnum (as required)
sint64	Uses variable-length encoding. Signed int value. These more efficiently encode negative numbers than regular int64s.	int64	long	int/long	int64	long	integer/string	Bignum
fixed32	Always four bytes. More efficient than uint32 if values are often greater than 2^28.	uint32	int	int	uint32	uint	integer	Bignum or Fixnum (as required)
fixed64	Always eight bytes. More efficient than uint64 if values are often greater than 2^56.	uint64	long	int/long	uint64	ulong	integer/string	Bignum
sfixed32	Always four bytes.	int32	int	int	int32	int	integer	Bignum or Fixnum (as required)
sfixed64	Always eight bytes.	int64	long	int/long	int64	long	integer/string	Bignum
bool		bool	boolean	boolean	bool	bool	boolean	TrueClass/FalseClass
string	A string must always contain UTF-8 encoded or 7-bit ASCII text.	string	String	str/unicode	string	string	string	String (UTF-8)
bytes	May contain any arbitrary sequence of bytes.	string	ByteString	str	[]byte	ByteString	string	String (ASCII-8BIT)
