ACCESS

SCRIPTING

This command is intended to be used in scripts.

EXAMPLES

SCHEMA

The JSON messages consist of nested objects referencing the change, patchset, account involved, and other attributes as appropriate. The currently supported message types are patchset-created, comment-added, change-merged, and change-abandoned.

Note that any field may be missing in the JSON messages, so consumers of this JSON stream should deal with that appropriately.
