Pusher Channels Docs | Interacting with our HTTP API

Interacting with our HTTP API

Channels provides a HTTP API as the main point of interaction with your servers. Publishing events is the most important aspect of this, but there are other methods for querying the state of your Channels applications. These are documented in our API reference.

All interactions with the Channels HTTP API must contain an authentication signature that is generated with your secret key. Using one of our libraries means you generally don’t need to worry about this, but more information can be found here.

Many of our libraries allow requests to be made asynchronously. Please consult the individual documentation for more information.

Publishing events

Because it is such a fundamental part of the service, most of our libraries have special methods for triggering events. Behind the scenes this is just a simple call to our HTTP API. We recommend using serialized JSON to keep message sizes down.

Please bear in mind the following when publishing events:

For full details about the HTTP API including resource endpoints, allowed attributes, server responses, and error codes please consult our HTTP API reference.

Examples: Publish an event on a single channel

In the examples below an event called my-event is being triggered on a channel named my-channel. The message payload ultimately ends up as a simple JSON message ${'{"message":"hello world"}'}.

require 'pusher'

pusher_client = Pusher::Client.new(
app_id: 'APP_ID',
key: 'APP_KEY',
secret: 'APP_SECRET',
cluster: 'APP_CLUSTER'
)

pusher_client.trigger('my-channel', 'my-event', {:message => 'hello world'})
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

$pusher = new Pusher\\Pusher('APP_KEY', 'APP_SECRET', 'APP_ID', array('cluster' => 'APP_CLUSTER'));

$response = $pusher->trigger('my-channel', 'my-event', array( 'message' => 'hello world'));

public function broadcastOn()
{
return ['my-channel'];
}
using PusherServer;

var options = new PusherOptions();
options.Cluster = "APP_CLUSTER";
var pusher = new Pusher("APP_ID", "APP_KEY", "APP_SECRET", options);

ITriggerResult result = await pusher.TriggerAsync(
"my-channel",
"my-event",
new { message = "hello world" });
const Pusher = require("pusher");

const pusher = new Pusher({
appId: "APP_ID",
key: "APP_KEY",
secret: "APP_SECRET",
cluster: "APP_CLUSTER",
});

pusher.trigger("my-channel", "my-event", {
message: "hello world",
});
import pusher

pusher_client = pusher.Pusher(app_id=u'APP_ID', key=u'APP_KEY', secret=u'APP_SECRET', cluster=u'APP_CLUSTER')

pusher_client.trigger(u'my-channel', u'my-event', {u'some': u'data'})
import "github.com/pusher/pusher-http-go/v5"

pusherClient := pusher.Client{
AppID: "APP_ID",
Key: "APP_KEY",
Secret: "APP_SECRET",
Cluster: "APP_CLUSTER",
}

data := map[string]string{"message": "hello world"}

pusherClient.Trigger("my-channel", "my-event", data)
Example: Publish an event on multiple channels

In the examples below an event called my-event is being triggered multiple channels; my-channel-1, my-channel-2 and my-channel-3. The message payload is converted to a simple JSON message ${'{"message":"hello world"}'}.

require 'pusher'

pusher_client = Pusher::Client.new(
app_id: 'APP_ID',
key: 'APP_KEY',
secret: 'APP_SECRET',
cluster: 'APP_CLUSTER'
)

pusher_client.trigger(['my-channel-1', 'my-channel-2', 'my-channel-3'], 'my-event', {
message: 'hello world'
})
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

$pusher = new Pusher\\Pusher('APP_KEY', 'APP_SECRET', 'APP_ID', array('cluster' => 'APP_CLUSTER'));

$pusher->trigger(
['my-channel-1', 'my-channel-2', 'my-channel-3'],
'my-event',
array( 'message' => 'hello world')
);

public function broadcastOn()
{
return ['my-channel-1', 'my-channel-2', 'my-channel-3'];
}
using PusherServer;

var options = new PusherOptions();
options.Cluster = "APP_CLUSTER";
var pusher = new Pusher("APP_ID", "APP_KEY", "APP_SECRET", options);

ITriggerResult result = await pusher.TriggerAsync(
new string[]{"my-channel-1", "my-channel-2", "my-channel-3"},
"my-event",
new { message: "hello world" });
const Pusher = require("pusher");

const pusher = new Pusher({
appId: "APP_ID",
key: "APP_KEY",
secret: "APP_SECRET",
cluster: "APP_CLUSTER",
});

const channels = ["my-channel-1", "my-channel-2", "my-channel-3"];
pusher.trigger(channels, "my-event", {
message: "hello world",
});
import pusher

pusher_client = pusher.Pusher(app_id=u'APP_ID', key=u'APP_KEY', secret=u'APP_SECRET', cluster=u'APP_CLUSTER')

pusher_client.trigger([u'my-channel-1', u'my-channel-2', u'my-channel-3'], u'my-event', {u'some': u'data'})
import "github.com/pusher/pusher-http-go/v5"

pusherClient := pusher.Client{
AppID: "APP_ID",
Key: "APP_KEY",
Secret: "APP_SECRET",
Cluster: "APP_CLUSTER",
}

pusherClient.TriggerMulti([]string{"my-channel-1", "my-channel-2", "my-channel-3"}, "my-event", data)
Example: Fetch subscriber and user counts at the time of publish

For the channels that were published to, you can request for the number of subscribers or users to be returned in the response body.

This is currently only supported in the PHP, Node.js and Go SDKs.

require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

$pusher = new Pusher\Pusher('APP_KEY', 'APP_SECRET', 'APP_ID', array('cluster' => 'APP_CLUSTER'));

$channels = $pusher->trigger(
'my-channel',
'my_event',
'hello world',
array('info' => 'subscription_count')
);
const Pusher = require("pusher");

const pusher = new Pusher({
appId: "APP_ID",
key: "APP_KEY",
secret: "APP_SECRET",
cluster: "APP_CLUSTER",
});

const attributes = "subscription_count,user_count";
const res = await pusher.trigger(
channels,
"my-event",
{
message: "hello world",
},
{
info: attributes,
}
);

if (res.status === 200) {
const body = await res.json();
const channelsInfo = body.channels;
}
import "github.com/pusher/pusher-http-go/v5"

pusherClient := pusher.Client{
AppID: "APP_ID",
Key: "APP_KEY",
Secret: "APP_SECRET",
Cluster: "APP_CLUSTER",
}

attributes := "subscription_count,user_count"
params := pusher.TriggerParams{Info: &attributes}

channels, err := pusherClient.TriggerMultiWithParams(
[]string{"my-channel-1", "my-channel-2", "presence-my-channel-3"},
"my-event",
data,
params,
)

Note: when the info parameter is specified, the publish will count as two “messages” for the purposes of billing.

Note: the counts are computed independently of broadcasting the message to connections. This means the counts do not necessarily match the number of subscribers/users that were published to.

Publishing batches of events

You might also find yourself wanting to publish many non-identical events in a short space of time. To reduce the number of HTTP requests you need to make in this case, the Channels HTTP API supports batches of up to ten events in one request. Our server libraries provide a trigger batch method that wraps this API call. In the examples below an event called my-event-1 is being triggered on channel my-channel-1, and an event called my-event-2 is being triggered on channel my-channel-2.

pusher_client.trigger_batch([
{channel: 'my-channel-1', name: 'my-event-1', data: { foo: 'bar' }}
{channel: 'my-channel-2', name: 'my-event-2', data: { hello: 'world' }}
])
$batch = array();
$batch[] = array('channel' => 'my-channel-1', 'name' => 'my-event-1', 'data' => array('hello' => 'world'));
$batch[] = array('channel' => 'my-channel-2', 'name' => 'my-event-2', 'data' => array('myname' => 'bob'));
$pusher->triggerBatch($batch);
var events = new List[]{
new Event(){ EventName = "my-event-1", Channel = "my-channel-1", Data = "hello world" },
new Event(){ EventName = "my-event-2", Channel = "my-channel-2", Data = "my name is bob" },
}

ITriggerResult result = await pusher.TriggerAsync(events);
const events = [
{
channel: "my-channel-1",
name: "my-event-1",
data: { message: "hello world" },
},
{
channel: "my-channel-2",
name: "my-event-2",
data: { message: "hello another world" },
},
];

pusher.triggerBatch(events);

pusher_client.trigger_batch([
{ u'channel': u'my-channel-1', u'name': u'my-event-1', u'data': {u'some': u'data'}, u'socket_id': '1234.12'},
{ u'channel': u'my-channel-2', u'name': u'my-event-2', u'data': {u'some': u'other data'}}
])
pusherClient.TriggerBatch([]pusher.Event{
{ Channel: "my-channel-1", Name: "my-event-1", Data: "hello world", nil },
{ Channel: "my-channel-2", Name: "my-event-2", Data: "hi my name is bob", nil },
})
Example: Fetch subscriber and user counts at the time of batch publish

For the channels that were published to, you can request for the number of subscribers or users to be returned in the response body.

This is currently only supported in the PHP, Node.js and Go SDKs.

$batch = array();
$batch[] = array(
'channel' => 'my-channel',
'name' => 'my_event',
'data' => array('hello' => 'world'),
'info' => 'subscription_count'
);
$batch[] = array(
'channel' => 'presence-my-channel',
'name' => 'my_event',
'data' => array('myname' => 'bob'),
'info' => 'user_count,subscription_count'
);
$result = $pusher->triggerBatch($batch);

foreach ($result->batch as $i => $attributes) {
echo "channel: {$batch[$i]['channel']}, name: {$batch[$i]['name']}";
if (isset($attributes->subscription_count)) {
echo ", subscription_count: {$attributes->subscription_count}";
}
if (isset($attributes->user_count)) {
echo ", user_count: {$attributes->user_count}";
}
echo PHP_EOL;
}
const batch = [
{
channel: "my-channel",
name: "event",
data: "test1",
info: "subscription_count",
},
{
channel: "presence-my-channel",
name: "event",
data: "test2",
info: "user_count,subscription_count",
},
];
pusher
.triggerBatch(batch)
.then((response) => {
if (response.status !== 200) {
throw Error("unexpected status");
}

return response.json();
})
.then((body) => {
body.batch.forEach((attributes, i) => {
process.stdout.write(
`channel: ${batch[i].channel}, name: ${batch[i].name}, subscription_count:${attributes.subscription_count}`
);
if ("user_count" in attributes) {
process.stdout.write(`, user_count: ${attributes.user_count}`);
}
process.stdout.write("\n");
});
})
.catch((error) => {
console.error(error);
});
channel1Info := "subscription_count"
channel2Info := "subscription_count,user_count"

batch := []pusher.Event{
{ Channel: "my-channel-1", Name: "my-event-1", Data: "hello world", Info: &channel1Info },
{ Channel: "presence-my-channel-2", Name: "my-event-2", Data: "hi my name is bob", Info: &channel2Info },
{ Channel: "my-channel-3", Name: "my-event-3", Data: "hi my name is alice" },
}
response, err := pusherClient.TriggerBatch(batch)

for i, attributes := range response.Batch {
fmt.Printf("channel: %s, name: %s", batch[i].Channel, batch[i].Name)
if attributes.SubscriptionCount != nil {
fmt.Printf(", subscription_count: %d", *attributes.SubscriptionCount)
}
if attributes.UserCount != nil {
fmt.Printf(", user_count: %d", *attributes.UserCount)
}
fmt.Println()
}

Note: when the info parameter is specified, the publish will count as two “messages” for the purposes of billing.

Note: the counts are computed independently of broadcasting the message to connections. This means the counts do not necessarily match the number of subscribers/users that were published to.

Querying application state

Sometimes you may want to know the state of your application to determine things like which channels have active subscribers or which users are currently on a presence channel. The Channels Server library contains a specific set of calls to query for application state. Alternatively the Channels HTTP API exposes a way of doing that and many of the Channels server libraries offer a generic GET method for performing such queries.

The GET method maps to a GET HTTP request to the Channels HTTP API and as such the libraries require:

pusher.get(resource, params)
response = $pusher->get($resource, $params)
IGetResult<object> result = await pusher.GetAsync<object>(string resource, object parameters);
const res = await pusher.get({ path, params });
Parameters
resourceString Required

The resource endpoint to be queried.

paramsString Optional

Additional parameters to be sent as query string parameters with the request. The names and values for these depend on the resource being queried. See examples below and the HTTP API reference for more information.

For more information see the pusher-http-ruby README.

Parameters
$resourceString Required

The resource endpoint to be queried.

$paramsString Optional

Additional parameters to be sent as query string parameters with the request. The names and values for these depend on the resource being queried. See examples below and the HTTP API reference for more information.

For more information see the pusher-http-php README.

The Channels Server library contains a specific wrapper that allows a consuming application to make a simple call specifying the type to deserialize to when making a GET request. object has been used above because as yet there isn’t a defined class that the information can be serialized into.

For more information see the pusher-http-dotnet README.

Parameters
resourceString Required

The path to the resource endpoint to be queried.

paramsString Optional

Additional parameters to be sent as query string parameters with the request. The names and values for these depend on the resource being queried. See examples below and the HTTP API reference for more information.

For more information see the pusher-http-node README.

Application channels

If you would like a list of the channel within an application that have active subscriptions (also referred to as being occupied) then you can query the /channels resource.

For full parameter information see the HTTP API channels reference.

response = pusher.get('/channels')
response = $pusher->get( '/channels' ); if( $response[ 'status'] == 200 ) {

$channels = json_decode( $response['body'], true );
}
IGetResult<ChannelsList> result = await pusher.GetAsync<ChannelsList>("/channels");
const res = await pusher.get({ path: "/channels" });
if (res.status === 200) {
const body = await res.json();
const channelsInfo = body.channels;
}

pusher_client.channels_info(u"presence-", [u'user_count'])
prefixFilter := "presence-"
attributes := "user_count"
params := pusher.ChannelsParams{FilterByPrefix: &prefixFilter, Info: &attributes}
channels, err := pusherClient.Channels(params)

The Channels Server library contains a specific wrapper that allows a consuming application to make a simple call specifying the type to deserialize to when requesting Channel Information.

For more information see the pusher-http-dotnet README.

For more information see the pusher-http-node README.

For more information see the pusher-http-python README.

For more information see the Go HTTP library README.

Channel information

You can query the state of an individual channel. This is done by querying the /channels/[channel_name] resource where channel_name is replaced with the actual name of the channel you are requesting information for.

For full parameter information see the HTTP API channel reference.

response = pusher.get('/channels/channel-name')
IGetResult<object> result = await pusher.FetchStateForChannelAsync<object>("my-channel-1");
response = $pusher->get('/channels/channel-name');
if( $response[ 'status'] == 200 ) {

$channel_info = json_decode( $response['body'], true);
}
const res = await pusher.get({ path: "/channels/channel-name" });
if (res.status === 200) {
const body = await res.json();
const channelInfo = body.channels;
}

channel = pusher_client.channel_info(u'presence-chatroom', [u"user_count"])
attributes := "user_count,subscription_count"
params := &ChannelParams{Info: &attributes}
channel, err := pusherClient.Channel("presence-chatroom", params)

For more information see the pusher-http-ruby README.

For more information see the pusher-http-php README.

The Channels Server library contains a specific wrapper that allows a consuming application to make a simple call passing in the channel name, and a type to deserialize to when requesting the state of a channel. object has been used above because as yet there isn’t a defined class that the information can be serialized into.

For more information see the pusher-http-node README.

For more information see the pusher-http-python README.

For more information see the Go HTTP library README.

Presence users

A list of users present on a presence channel can be retrieved by querying the /channels/[channel_name]/users resource where the channel_name is replaced with a valid presence channel name.

For full parameter information see the HTTP API presence users reference.

response = pusher.get('/channels/presence-channel-name/users')
IGetResult<object> result = await pusher.FetchUsersFromPresenceChannelAsync<object>("my-channel-1");
response = $pusher->get( '/channels/presence-channel-name/users' );
if( $response[ 'status'] == 200 ) {

$users = json_decode( $response['body'], true )['users'];
}
const res = await pusher.get({ path: "/channels/presence-channel-name/users" });
if (res.status === 200) {
const body = await res.json();
const users = body.users;
}

pusher_client.users_info(u'presence-chatroom')
users, err := pusherClient.GetChannelUsers("presence-chatroom")
