Getting Started with Widgets

The various interactive elements like polls, quizzes, and predictions are called widgets. A list of the available widgets can be found in the widgets product guide.

Subscribing to Realtime Widgets

Using the widgetFlow inside ContentSession, you can subscribe to the upcoming new widgets that are published by the producer.

private var contentSession: ContentSession
 
 runBlocking {
        contentSession.widgetFlow?.collect{ widget ->
          // handle new widget received
        }
    }

Get Details of Published Widget

As an integrator, you have the ability to query our backend for a specific widget to either display it to the user right away or save the widget details for later use. In order to retrieve a Widget, you will need to know it's id and kind

private var contentSession: ContentSession
   
   contentSession.getPublishedWidgets(
        LiveLikePagination.FIRST,
        object : LiveLikeCallback<List<LiveLikeWidget>>() {
            override fun onResponse(
                result: List<LiveLikeWidget>?,
                error: String?
            ) {
               result?.let{
                // handle published widget
               }
            }
        }
    )
 }
