How frequently does the GraphQL API update?

When casting a vote on a proposal, the single proposal API response doesn't get updated immediately and the "scores_updated" in the response doesn't seem to have a predictable cadence.

Hey, that's correct there is a 10 min lag when querying an active proposal using GraphQL, to fetch fresh data you must use snapshot.js. https://docs.snapshot.org/snapshot.js

im looking at the snapshot.js library, which one of these fetches the proposal? The docs for the library are pretty sparse.

You can query all the data, proposals, votes, spaces etc within the GraphQL API, you can use any GraphQL library to do the requests, otherwise on Snapshot.js we have a function subgraphRequest that would work too.

You were talking of votes in your original message not proposal right ? You can fetch proposals from the API and votes from snapshot.js

i thought for some reason the current vote tally would be in the proposal response like it is with GraphQL. There's an end point for the current vote tally in snapshot.js?

Ho, I misunderstood, though you was referring to individual votes, not results.

sorry, for clarity I'm working on a solution that takes the voting experience off snapshot.org and onto a site I'm working on. I'm using the API to get proposals, voting power, and the library to cast votes. I was using the API to get the latest vote tally after new votes have been added but the 10min delay wasn't ideal.

Gotcha, the catch here is that until we have delegation as a core feature we need to have a scheduled calculation every 10min or so. Before it was calculated on the fly each time a proposal was loaded and was too resources intensive / not scalable.
However things should improve overtime, core delegation is one of the next in the priority list.

ok cool, thanks for the responses! I'll probably do some sort of solution with firebase, for now, that keeps track of the vote counts in real-time and syncs with the API.

Yes, if you build a front that is supposed to withstand the load of a few thousand votes, it will work. We needed these changes when we had 300,000 votes in one weekend.
