Stop the N+1 query trap in ShotGrid. Learn how to use bulk filters and specific field requests in the Python API to reduce latency and optimize asset status updates.
Stop polling Shotgrid for asset changes. Use Shotgrid Webhooks to get instant POST notifications, verify them with HMAC, and trigger downstream tasks in seconds. A step‑by‑step guide with code, security tips, and trade‑offs.
Choose between ShotGrid webhooks and the Event Daemon for event-driven automation. Compare constraints, trade-offs, and validation steps before production rollout.
Choose between ShotGrid native webhooks and API polling for CI/CD triggers. Compare latency, delivery guarantees, and maintenance trade-offs, then implement signature-verified webhook handling or a rate-limit-aware polling loop.
Choose between ShotGrid Event Daemon and REST polling for pipeline change notifications. Compare latency, API load and ops overhead, with a concrete Python sketch and validation steps.
Deciding between ShotGrid's built-in Asset entity and a custom entity? Learn the trade-offs between setup speed and data isolation, with a Python implementation guide for custom props.
A practical walkthrough of batched status updates with shotgun_api3: scoped script credentials, site-local status codes, and one batch call instead of hundreds.
Compare ShotGrid's self-hosted Event Daemon with cloud-native Webhooks for triggering external pipelines. Covers event coverage, delivery guarantees, authentication, payload limits, and a concrete webhook registration example with HMAC verification.
ShotGrid already records every change as an EventLogEntry. Here's how the shotgunEvents daemon turns that stream into auto-created tasks, why handlers must be idempotent, and when event-driven beats polling.
