 This file registers the `MyPortlet` class as a portlet with Plone. It also specifies the portlet's name, title, description, and category.

+## Calling a single portlet via a URL
+
+To call a portlet by its URL, for example to update it via an AJAX call, you
+can use the `@@render-portlet` view in your portlet renderer with a
+`portlethash` as 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
+    def hash(self):
+        portlethash = self.request.form.get(
+            "portlethash", getattr(self, "__portlet_metadata__", {}).get("hash", "")
+        )
+        return portlethash
+
+    @property
+    def reload_url(self):
+        base_url = self.context.absolute_url()
+        hash = safe_unicode(self.hash)
+        return f"{base_url}/@@render-portlet?portlethash={hash}"
