I want to have a rake task to set up the GetStream environment with all 6 feed groups we have in our platform, but can't find a documented API for managing feed groups.

Is there an API somewhere that I missed? Is there an undocumented one I could use in the meantime?

We don't have an API to create feed groups, you need to create those manually within your app on the dashboard. It's a one-time setup step and not something you need to do over and over.

Are you trying to set up a test environment where you rebuild your feeds, or something of that nature? We do allow you to truncate all items from your feeds, but it's also a manual step because we prompt for confirmation as it's an irreversible step.

  • We're an open source project, so one of the frequent tasks is getting people onboarded with a development environment. It's much easier to tell people "Grab a Stream account, paste your keys in and run `rake stream:setup`" than "go to Stream, create an app, and add the following list of feed groups from the dashboard there" – Nuck Oct 05 '16 at 20:33
  • I'll mention it to the team to see if they're open to adding it as a roadmap item, but as of today there are no plans to add such an endpoint. – iandouglas Oct 05 '16 at 23:36
  • can you add a link to your project? – Tommaso Barbugli Oct 06 '16 at 14:56
  • @iandouglas Is this functionality exposed by the public API now? Currently designing an app that would require creating feed groups on-demand. – Amadeo Gallardo Sep 26 '19 at 01:00
  • I've been away from the company for a while, but I don't see anything in their documentation for this yet. Best to reach out to their support team. – iandouglas Sep 27 '19 at 13:27
