Channel Groups API for PubNub Unity SDK

Channel Groups allows PubNub developers to bundle thousands of channels into a group that can be identified by name. These Channel Groups can then be subscribed to, receiving data from the many backend-channels the channel group contains.

Learn more about our Channel Groups here.

Adding Channels

Requires Stream Controller add-on Requires that the Stream Controller add-on is enabled for your key. See this page on enabling add-on features on your keys:

Description

This function adds a channel to a channel group.

Method(s)

Adding Channels is accomplished by using the following method(s) in the Unity V4 SDK:

Note

200 channels can be added to the channel group per API call.

pubnub.AddChannelsToChannelGroup().Channels(List<string>).ChannelGroup(string).QueryParam(Dictionary<string,string>).Async()

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`Channels`	List	Yes	The `Channels` to add to the channel group.
`ChannelGroup`	string	Yes	The `ChannelGroup` to add the channels to.
`QueryParam`	Dictionary<string, string>	Optional	QueryParam accepts a Dictionary object, the keys and values are passed as the query string parameters of the URL called by the API.
`Async`	PNCallback	Yes	`PNCallback` of type `PNChannelGroupsAddChannelResult`.

Basic Usage

Adding Channels :

pubnub.AddChannelsToChannelGroup()
    .Channels(new List<string> (){"my_channel"})
    .ChannelGroup("channelGroup")
    .Async((result, status) => {
        if(status.Error){
            Debug.Log (string.Format("In Example, AddChannelsToChannelGroup Error: {0} {1} {2}", status.StatusCode, status.ErrorData, status.Category));
        } else {
            Debug.Log (string.Format("DateTime {0}, In Example AddChannelsToChannelGroup, result: {1}", DateTime.UtcNow, result.Message));
        }
    });

Returns

The AddChannelsToChannelGroup() does not return actionable data, be sure to check the status object on the outcome of the operation by checking the status.isError().

Listing Channels

Description

This function lists all the channels of the channel group.

Method(s)

Listing Channels is accomplished by using the following method(s) in the Unity V4 SDK:

pubnub.ListChannelsForChannelGroup().ChannelGroup(string).QueryParam(Dictionary<string,string>).Async()

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`ChannelGroup`	string	Yes	`Channel group` to fetch the channels.
`QueryParam`	Dictionary<string, string>	Optional	QueryParam accepts a Dictionary object, the keys and values are passed as the query string parameters of the URL called by the API.
`Async`	PNCallback	Yes	`PNCallback` of type `PNChannelGroupsAllChannelsResult`.

Basic Usage

Listing Channels:

pubnub.ListChannelsForChannelGroup()
    .ChannelGroup("cg")
    .Async((result, status) => {
        if(status.Error){
            Debug.Log (string.Format("In Example, ListAllChannelsOfGroup Error: {0} {1} {2}", status.StatusCode, status.ErrorData, status.Category));
        } else {
            Debug.Log (string.Format("In Example ListAllChannelsOfGroup, result: {0}", (result.Channels!=null)?string.Join(",", result.Channels.ToArray()):""));
        }
    });

Returns

The ListChannelsForChannelGroup() operation returns a PNChannelGroupsAllChannelsResult which contains the following operations:

Method	Type	Description
`Channels`	List	List of `channels` of a `channel group`.

Removing Channels

Description

This function removes the channels from the channel group.

Method(s)

Removing Channels is accomplished by using the following method(s) in the Unity V4 SDK:

pubnub.RemoveChannelsFromChannelGroup().Channels(new List<string>).ChannelGroup(string).QueryParam(Dictionary<string,string>).Async()

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`Channels`	List	Yes	The `Channels` to remove from the channel group.
`ChannelGroup`	string	Yes	Specifies `ChannelGroup` to remove the channels from.
`QueryParam`	Dictionary<string, string>	Optional	QueryParam accepts a Dictionary object, the keys and values are passed as the query string parameters of the URL called by the API.
`Async`	PNCallback	Optional	`PNCallback` of type `PNChannelGroupsRemoveChannelResult`.

Basic Usage

Removing channels:

pubnub.RemoveChannelsFromChannelGroup()
    .Channels(new List<string> (){"son"})
    .ChannelGroup("family")
    .Async((result, status) => {
        Debug.Log ("in RemoveChannelsFromCG");
        if(status.Error){
            Debug.Log (string.Format("In Example, RemoveChannelsFromCG Error: {0} {1} {2}", status.StatusCode, status.ErrorData, status.Category));
        } else {
            Debug.Log (string.Format("DateTime {0}, In RemoveChannelsFromCG, result: {1}", DateTime.UtcNow, result.Message));
        }
    });

Returns

The RemoveChannelsFromChannelGroup() does not return actionable data, be sure to check the status object on the outcome of the operation by checking the status.IsError().

Deleting Channel Group

Description

This function removes the channel group.

Method(s)

Deleting Channel Group is accomplished by using the following method(s) in the Unity V4 SDK:

pubnub.DeleteChannelGroup().ChannelGroup(string).QueryParam(Dictionary<string,string>).Async()

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`ChannelGroup`	string	Yes	Specifies `ChannelGroup` to remove.
`QueryParam`	Dictionary<string, string>	Optional	QueryParam accepts a Dictionary object, the keys and values are passed as the query string parameters of the URL called by the API.
`Async`	PNCallback	Optional	`PNCallback` of type `PNChannelGroupsDeleteGroupResult`.

Basic Usage

Deleting Channel Group:

pubnub.DeleteChannelGroup()
    .ChannelGroup("family")
    .Async((result1, status1) => {
        if(status1.Error){
            Debug.Log (string.Format("In Example, DeleteChannelsFromChannelGroup Error: {0} {1} {2}", status1.StatusCode, status1.ErrorData, status1.Category));
        } else {
            Debug.Log (string.Format("DateTime {0}, In Example DeleteChannelsFromChannelGroup, result: {1}", DateTime.UtcNow, result1.Message));
        }
    });

Response

The DeleteChannelGroup() does not return actionable data, be sure to check the status object on the outcome of the operation by checking the status.IsError().
