title: Is it possible to implement webhooks on regular clients?
body: <p>I am trying to create a python application that can continuously receive data from a webserver. This python application will be running on multiple personal computers, and whenever new data is available it will receive it. I realize that I can do this either by long polling or web sockets, but the problem is that sometimes data won't be transferred for days and in that case long polling or websockets seem to be inefficient. I won't be needing that long of a connection but whenever data is available I need to be able to push it to the application. I have been reading about webhooks and it seems that if I can have a url to post that data to, I won't need to poll. But I am confused as to how each client would have a callback url because in that case a client would have to act as a server. Are there any libraries that help in getting this done? Any kind of resources that you can point me to would be really helpful!</p>
