App Context API for Go SDK

Starting a new app? Use DataSync

DataSync is the successor to App Context. It covers the same users, channels, and memberships, and adds typed schemas, JSON Patch updates with ETags, field-level projections, and per-class expiry. Refer to the feature-by-feature comparison for details.

DataSync is currently available to new accounts and to accounts that are not actively using App Context. If your keysets already use App Context, keep using it for now. App Context remains fully supported.

This page describes App Context (formerly Objects v2). To upgrade from Objects v1, refer to the migration guide.

App Context provides easy-to-use, serverless storage for user and channel data you need to build innovative, reliable, scalable applications. Use App Context to store metadata about your application users and channels, and their membership associations, without the need to stand up your own databases.

PubNub also triggers events when object data is changed: set, updated, or removed from the database. Making a request to set the same data that already exists doesn't trigger an event. Clients can receive these events in real time and update their front-end application accordingly.

User

Get metadata for all users

Returns a paginated list of UUID Metadata objects, optionally including the custom data object for each.

Required keyset configuration

To get all channel and user metadata, you must uncheck the Disallow Get All Channel Metadata and Disallow Get All User Metadata checkboxes in the App Context section of your keyset configuration in the Admin Portal.

Method(s)

To Get All UUID Metadata you can use the following method(s) in the Go SDK:

1pn.GetAllUUIDMetadata().
2    Include([]pubnub.PNUUIDMetadataIncludeCustom).
3    Sort(sort).
4    Limit(int).
5    Count(bool).
6    Start(string).
7    End(string).
8    Filter(string).
9    Execute()

* required

Parameter	Description
Include Type: []pubnub.PNUUIDMetadataInclude	List of additional/complex UUID attributes to include in response. Omit this parameter if you don't want to retrieve additional attributes. Available values: pubnub.PNUUIDMetadataIncludeCustom
Sort Type: Array	Sort by id, name, updated with asc/desc for sort direction (for example, {name: 'asc'}).
Limit Type: int	Number of objects to return. Default/Max: 100.
Count Type: bool	Whether to include the total count in the paginated response. Default is false.
