Welcome to the my-hangouts-extension wiki!
We are using the Google+ Search API to query for hangouts, so here is what is done:
- Uses a state machine of two nodes (currently), where the last node points back to the first node to make it a circular buffer. Each node gets executed within 30 seconds from each other.
- The first node in the state machine, resets the cache and hangout lists. Then does a search.
- The second node in the state machine, does a search again to refresh the data.
- When doing a single search, it prefetches results 4 times to get more results.
- After the last prefetch, it starts doing bursts, to get the new hangouts as diff 8 times.
Basically, does a search every 30 seconds where each search does 4 pre-fetches and 8 burst-fetches. A pre-fetch is a getting more pages per result where a burst-fetch gets diffs between every fetch.
One might ask why not continuously get bursts, the answer being, it doesn't give fresh results, the previous results do not update, that is why we reset and do pre-fetches.
