FAQ
Is it possible for our integrations to run during night time?
The short answer is yes!
The longer answer is that we uses a "Eventual consistency" model, which means that we compile our data that are exposed through our api:s during night time. This can unfortunaly result in a slower round trip time between database calls. But because we are compiling the data in real time through out the day, one shouldn't suffer data inconsistency.
One thing to take notice of is that the data can suffer from inconsistencies the day and the day after an environment update.
What is ETag in Momentum API?
An ETag, or entity tag, is an identifier which validates the version of a specific asset. For example, the ETag can be used to make sure you have the latest revision of a record.
To clarify what this means in the Momentum API's:
- The ETag is not a value that increases incrementally, it is randomly generated. This means that operations like "ETag1 > ETag2" can not be used.
- If the ETag of a set of data is the same as the last time the data was retrieved, we guarantee that no changes has affected this data.
- The data related to the ETag isn't necessarily changed even though the ETag has changed. A cahnge of ETag can be triggerd by other operations like database design etc.
