    <description>&lt;P&gt;Yes, for server-side apps, we recommend using webhooks:&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;For client-side apps, or if webhooks won't suit your use case for whatever reason, you can use /longpoll_delta:&lt;/P&gt;

      <title>Frequency of allowed /delta calls to detect changes</title>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I'm using the /delta endpoint (via the PHP SDK's getDelta method) to detect when any changes have been made in a folder or any of its children, grandchildren, etc.  It seems to work well.  However, in the API documentation it instructs to, "...wait a while (at least 5 minutes) before calling getDelta again".  I'm running my code on a linux-based server and wish to deploy it as a cron job running more frequently than every 5 minutes, so that I can be notified rather quickly about any new uploads.  If /delta is intended to be called at most once every 5 minutes, is there another way to achieve the same goal easily with a lower time interval in between checks?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;The below blog post might help. It uses &lt;CODE&gt;/longpoll_delta&lt;/CODE&gt; and &lt;CODE&gt;/delta&lt;/CODE&gt; in a loop. (Code is in Python.)&lt;/P&gt;
