Communication · API Key
Use Ably in Okou
Use the Ably Pub/Sub REST API to publish and inspect messages, query presence and history, work with message annotations, inspect channel metadata, and read application statistics.
Once connected, supported Ably actions can become steps in a reusable workflow alongside the other services your team uses. Run the workflow once, on a schedule, or when an event starts it.
What you can do with Ably
- Retrieve channel message history, one message, or message version history. Ably counts retrieved history messages toward provider usage.
- Retrieve current or historical presence for one or many channels. Ably counts returned members or events toward provider usage.
- Retrieve message annotations or an annotation summary for a client.
- Retrieve current and historical application usage statistics.
- Publish messages to one or many channels. Publications have external effects, consume Ably message usage, and may incur provider charges.
- Inspect channel metadata or enumerate active channels. A single-channel lookup activates the channel, while enumeration is heavily rate-limited and can keep channels active.
