I have the actor below which prints the result of a Future, then makes
the same request after a delay, ad infinitum.Based on "scheduling Periodic
Messages" here:

http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/snapshot/scala/howto.html

Can someone please point me in the right direction to do the same with Akka
streams. Or would I do best to make this actor an ActorProducer?

class PeriodicStatus(client: APIClient, delay: FiniteDuration) extends
Actor {

    import context._

    override def preStart() =
      context.system.scheduler.scheduleOnce(delay, self, "tick")

    // override postRestart so we don't call preStart and schedule a new
message
    override def postRestart(reason: Throwable) = {}

    def receive = {
      case "tick" => {

        val message = client.getStatus.map(s =>
PeriodicStatus.Result(s)).recover {
          case ex => PeriodicStatus.Failure(ex)
        }
        message pipeTo self
      }

      case PeriodicStatus.Result(status) => {
        println(s"Status = $status")
        context.system.scheduler.scheduleOnce(delay, self, "tick")
      }
      case PeriodicStatus.Failure(e) => {
        println(s"Error = $e")
        context.system.scheduler.scheduleOnce(delay, self, "tick")
      }
    }
  }
