<?xml version="1.0"?>
<atom:feed>
  <link rel="hub" href="http://hub.example.com/endpoint" />

Pinging the hub

Whenever the content is updated, issue a ping request to the hub you use:

from push.pub import ping_hub, PingError

try:
    ping_hub(topic_url, hub_url)
except PingError as e:
    print "Error while pinging hub, more info available in e.response
