Question about API and pools

[Og Maciel]

I'm writing a script that uses the Katello API to perform several actions. One of
these actions is to create a custom provider/product/repo and then create and register
systems to use the available pools. For that I am using the following API call:

https://github.com/omaciel/katello-cli/blob/master/src/katello/client/api...

The problem I'm facing is that there is a delay between creating the
provider/product/repo and pools data becoming available through this API call. If I call
it right after creating my content, I get an empty list back. If I wait "long
enough" I then get a nice list of pools I can subscribe to.

QUESTION: is there another candlepin API call that I can make to poll information about
the available pools? I looked at api/owners/events but that didn't work:

% curl -k -u admin:admin -X GET 'https://$SERVER/katello/api/owners/Org1/events'
{"displayMessage":"Resource not found on the
server","errors":["Not found"]}

Thanks in advance for the information,

We mostly sorted this out on IRC at least candlepin side, but for anyone
reading, the process of creating the custom pool involves a refresh pools,
which is async and returns job detail. It is however swallowed up within
the katello API calls that are being used for this process and thus
probably hidden.

should I create an RFE for the katello api to improve / fix this?
