Basket Synchronisation¶

This documents what data we synchronize with Basket and how.

Triggers¶

Every time a field that we’re meant to synchronize on an object changes, a full sync of the object is triggered.

A consequence of this is, since the relation between an addon and an user is part of the add-on object, when a new user is added as an author, or an existing author is removed from an add-on, that triggers a full sync of the add-on, including user account information for all its authors.

Objects¶

We’re synchronizing 2 types of objects:

User Accounts

Add-ons

User Accounts¶

Note

Newsletter opt-in information is not stored by AMO, and therefore not synchronized with the rest. It’s sent to basket separately directly whenever it changes, through basket’s Newsletter API subscribe and unsubscribe endpoints.

POST https://basket.mozilla.org/amo-sync/userprofile/¶

Request JSON Object:

id (int) – The numeric user id.
deleted (boolean) – Is the account deleted.
display_name (string|null) – The name chosen by the user.
homepage (string|null) – The user’s website.
