 This file registers the `MyPortlet` class as a portlet with Plone. It also specifies the portlet's name, title, description, and category.
 
 For more examples of how to write and register portlets, look at the source code of the Plone core package [`plone.app.portlets`](https://github.com/plone/plone.app.portlets), or of other Plone add-ons that include portlets.

+## Call one portlet by URL
+
+To call a portlet by its URL, for example, to update it via an AJAX call, use the `@@render-portlet` view in your portlet renderer with `portlethash` as a query parameter.
+
+The following example shows how to construct a reload URL for a portlet.
+
+```python
+from plone.app.portlets.portlets.base import Renderer
+from Products.CMFPlone.utils import safe_unicode
+
+
+class BasePortletRenderer(Renderer):
+    @property

+        return portlethash

+    def reload_url(self):
+        base_url = self.context.absolute_url()
+        hash = safe_unicode(self.hash)
+        return f"{base_url}/@@render-portlet?portlethash={hash}"
