Source status
The WebApp and the API provide information about the status of your sources. The objective is to ensure you have visibility on the content (input feeds) used in your broadpeak.io Services definitions.
Source status API
The API call you need to use to Check the status of a source is the following one:
https://developers.broadpeak.io/reference/urlstatussourcecontroller_checkurl
RESPONSES
200: The status details
400: The source has an unknown manifest format
404: timeout
Source status on the WebApp
The source status displayed by the WebApp is based upon server side and client side checks.
The first check is performed server side. The client side check is done only if the server side test passes.
As client side check are impacted by web browser policies (e.g. security), a warning on the WebApp does not necessarily mean that your source is going to have the same status when used by the broadpeak.io platform.
Wherever a colored icon is displayed next to a source in the WebApp, it is reflecting the source status. In this case, by default, the refresh period is 4 seconds. If you hover your mouse over this icon, you will get additional information thanks to a tool tip. Note that source status will soon be added in the list of sources (link)
