Presence
PubNub's Channel Presence empowers your applications to Track online and offline status of users and devices in realtime.
Name | Description |
---|---|
Get State | Get state is used to get the key/value pairs specific to a subscriber uuid. |
Heartbeat | Timeout events are triggered when the server does not hear a hearbeat from the client within a default timeout time of 280 seconds. |
Here Now | Obtain information about the current state of a channel including a list of unique user-ids currently subscribed to the channel and the total occupancy count of the channel. |
Set State | Set state is used to set key/value pairs specific to a subscriber uuid. |
Where Now | Obtain information about the current list of a channels to which a uuid is subscribed to. |
Publish
Publish a message on a channel.
Name | Description |
---|---|
Fire | Fire method used for publishing. When a message is sent using fire, it will not be replicated to other Points of Presence, it will remain at the originating Point of Presence, and is not eligible for archiving via the Storage and Playback feature. |
Publish Asynchronously | Publish the message asynchronously. |
Publish RAW JSON | Publish JSON as is. |
Publish Synchronously | Publish the message synchronously. |
Publish using GET | Publish using HTTP GET |
Publish using POST | Publish using HTTP POST |

Store Flag | Ability to skip message from storage. |
Signals
A lightweight alternative for small frequent indications exchanged between participants. Examples are typing indicators in chat, or geo-location information.
Name | Description |
---|---|
Send a Signal | Has support to send a Signal |
Storage
PubNub's Storage and Playback feature enables developers to store messages as they are published, and retrieve them at a later time.
Name | Description |
---|---|
Count | Specifies the number of historical messages to return. |
Count of Messages on Channels | The API is a history based API that simply does a mostly normal history operation but instead of returning the messages in a channel it returns the count of messages. Without actually calling history on those channels this API gives you the ability to say if there are messages in the chat channel you can go look at further. |
Fetch messages from storage with message actions | This function fetches historical messages from multiple channels with message actions data |
Fetch messages from storage with meta | This function fetches historical messages from multiple channels with metadata |
History with meta | The SDK has support to retrieve History with metadata |
Include Timetoken | Whether event dates time tokens should be included in response or not. |
Reverse | Traverse the timeline in reverse starting with the oldest message first. |
Start End | Time token delimiting the start/end of time slice (exclusive) to pull messages from. |
Subscribe
This function causes the client to create an open TCP socket to the PubNub Real-Time Network and begin listening for messages on a specified channel.
Name | Description |
---|---|
Filter Expression | Stream Filter allows a subscriber to apply a filter to only receive messages that satisfy the conditions of the filter. The message filter is set by the subscribing client(s) but it is applied on the server side thus preventing unwanted messages (those that do not meet the conditions of the filter) from reaching the subscriber. |
Message Actions events listener | Has support to listen to Action Events from Message Actions API |
Objects API Membership events listener | Has support to listen to Membership Events from Objects API |
Objects API Space events listener | Has support to listen to Space Events from Objects API |
Objects API User events listener | Has support to listen to User Events from Objects API |
