About HTTP server-sent events
Your application can use a server-sent events endpoint to receive updates in real-time. Server-sent events is an incredibly simple transport method that relies entirely on chunked-encoding transfer; in other words, the HTTP connection is kept open and receives new data periodically.
The stream will contain events as well as heartbeat comments. Lines that begin with a colon (:
) can be ignored by parsers. For example, the connection may be kept alive with a heartbeat comment:
:thump
Generally, events have this structure:
event: <name>
data: <payload>
Check if the server is alive

parameter.
Example subscription to local statuses containing the hashtag #foo
:
{ "type": "subscribe", "stream": "hashtag:local", "tag": "foo" }
Example unsubscription from user updates:
{ "type": "unsubscribe", "stream": "user" }
- access_token
- required String. A user-authorized OAuth token.
- stream
- required String. The stream to watch for events. See Streams for possible values.
- list
- String. When
stream
is set tolist
, use this parameter to specify the list ID. - tag
- String. When
stream
is set tohashtag
orhashtag:local
, use this parameter to specify the tag name. - type
- String. For JSON-encoded payloads sent to the server, specify either
subscribe
orunsubscribe
in order to manage the events that you wish to receive.
Events
Events are JSON-encoded. If an invalid access token is provided, the connection will be closed immediately. If your server has enabled limited federation mode or authorized-fetch mode, then an access token must be provided in order to receive events.
An example update to the public timeline:
{
"stream": [

}
payload
is string-encoded and escaped, so it must be parsed and loaded as JSON from that string. However, for delete
and announcements.delete
events the payload is a string representing an identifier, not a JSON value.An example delete event from the public timeline:
{
"stream": [
"public"
],
"event": "delete",
"payload": "106692867363994015"
}
An example filter change by the user:
{
"stream": [
"user"
],
"event": "filters_changed"
}
payload
property is not present for filters_changed
events. And for delete
and announcements.delete
the payload is a string, not an object.See also
