SDKs Documentation

Explore PubNub's Software Development Kits (SDKs) documentation for simplified app development.

PubNub offers a comprehensive suite of development toolkits, each designed to integrate with the PubNub API for seamless real-time communication features.

While the PubNub API delivers the core functionalities needed for real-time interactions, our software development packages adapt these capabilities for specific platforms and programming languages, making it easier to implement features like instant messaging, device control, and live updates in web, mobile, or IoT applications.

With our development kits, you can follow best practices and design patterns to ensure the scalability and maintainability of your applications across multiple platforms.

This collection covers key programming languages like JavaScript, Python, and Swift alongside platforms such as Android, iOS, and Unity for game development.

It will help you integrate real-time communication across various tech stacks for both frontend and backend development, including mobile, web, and server-side apps.

Client​

These client application development tools include support for mobile kits such as Swift for iOS and Kotlin for Android, and JavaScript for web apps.

By applying the pub/sub integration to deliver content dynamically, these SDKs let you build interactive and responsive chat applications, real-time analytics, software integrations in finance, and more.

IoT Device Control​

The section lists app development tools designed for direct control and management of devices for IoT projects.

These software packages enable integration with a wide range of hardware, supporting real-time data exchange and device management.

They can can serve as valuable resources in such sectors as agriculture for remote monitoring systems, smart cities for IoT infrastructure, and home automation for smart devices.

Server​

Browse through the technical documentation on server SDKs to learn how to efficiently manage backend services and server-to-server communications.

These development toolkits are essential for building scalable, secure backends by enabling server tasks like processing analytics, managing user authentication, and handling database operations.

You can apply them in scenarios where server efficiency and reliability are crucial, such as financial services, cloud-based platforms, and large-scale web applications.
