Want to send SSE with RQ worker, how to configure?

[amks1]

Can I send SSEs using an RQ worker running in a different docker container?

My code looks like this right now:

# app_factory.py
def create_app(app_name=__name__, **kwargs):

	app = Flask(app_name, template_folder="./templates")

	#* SSE Configuration
	app.config['REDIS_URL'] = REDIS_URI_SSE

# RQ Worker function
from flask_sse import sse
def emit_markers(map_id):
	sse.publish(marker_data, type="markers", channel=f"{content_id}")
	sse.publish(status_data, type="status", channel=f"{content_id}")

Explanation: Any single client will be connected to a content_id and will listen for markers and status, as these are both needed to populate the frontend page.
The worker will do some CPU heavy processing and generate the marker_data and status_data periodically on a cron schedule. The worker would need to independently send this to all the clients connected on that particular channel.

Where do I put the API endpoint? I don't really see a reason for it here? But on the client side I need to provide a value to the EventSource declaration:

const sse = new EventSource('/api/v1/sse');

Any help will be much appreciated.

Did you manage to make this work?

Not really. I've been using websockets instead...
