Introduction
============

Interested parties can subscribe to webhook events by registering
a :class:`~thorn.django.models.Subscriber`.

Subscribers are stored in the database.

The subscription can match an event by simple pattern matching,
and also filter by events related to a specific user (requires
the event to be sent with a ``sender`` argument``).

A simple subscriber can be created from the repl,
like in this example where all ``article.`` related events
will be sent to the URL: http://example.com/receive/article,
and the payload is requested to be in *json* format:

.. code-block:: pycon

    >>> Subscriber.objects.create(
            event='article.*',
            url='http://example.com/receive/article',
            content_type='application/json',
    ... )
