Process Clever Secure Sync delta events to incrementally update a rostered application

Steps

  1. After the initial full roster sync, record the ID of the most recent event by calling the events endpoint and storing the returned event ID
  2. On each subsequent sync cycle, GET /v3.0/events?starting_after=LAST_EVENT_ID to retrieve only events that occurred after the last processed event; events cover users, sections, and enrollments created, updated, or deleted
  3. Process events strictly in chronological order as returned; out-of-order processing increases the risk of sync errors such as deleting a record before its update is applied
  4. For each event, determine the object type and action (created, updated, deleted) then apply the corresponding create, update, or delete operation in your local data store; re-fetch the full object from the Clever API if you need the complete record, not just the event payload
  5. Persist the ID of the last successfully processed event after each batch so that a failure mid-batch can resume from the correct position on retry
