Push updates

.. warning::
The interface documented here is the status quo that might be changed while the interfaces are streamlined for
a more general consumption. If you happen to want to develop against it, you should drop me an email to make sure I can give you a heads-up when
something changes.
.. contents::
To enable real time information exchange between client and server, OctoPrint uses
`SockJS <https://github.com/sockjs/sockjs-protocol>`_ to push
status updates, temperature changes etc to connected web interface instances.
Each pushed message consists of a simple JSON object that follows this basic structure:
.. sourcecode:: javascript
{
"<type>": <payload>
}
``type`` indicates the type of message being pushed to the client, the attached ``payload`` is message specific. The
following message types are currently available for usage by 3rd party clients:
* ``current``: Rate limited general state update, payload contains information about the printer's state, job progress,
accumulated temperature points and log lines since last update. OctoPrint will send these updates when new information
is available, but not more often than twice per second in order to not flood the client with messages (e.g.
during printing). See :ref:`the payload data model <sec-api-push-datamodel-currentandhistory>`.
* ``history``: Current state, temperature and log history, sent upon initial connect to get the client up to date. Same
payload data model as ``current``, see :ref:`below <sec-api-push-datamodel-currentandhistory>`.
* ``event``: Events triggered within OctoPrint, such as e.g. ``PrintFailed`` or ``MovieRenderDone``. Payload is the event
type and payload, see :ref:`below <sec-api-push-datamodel-event>`. Sent when an event is triggered internally.
* ``slicingProgress``: Progress updates from an active slicing background job, payload contains information about the
model being sliced, the target file, the slicer being used and the progress as a percentage.
See :ref:`the payload data model <sec-api-push-datamodel-slicingprogress>`.
Clients must ignore any unknown messages.
The data model of the attached payloads is described further below.
