API ReferenceNotification Inbox

Stream the unread count

GET
/v1/user/notifications/stream

A server-sent event stream. Each event holds the unread count, for example {"unread_count": 3}. The server sends a received event when a new message arrives in the caller's inbox. The client can play a sound for this event. The server sends an inbox event when the stream opens and for every other change to the caller's inbox. The end of a snooze sends no event. The client gets the count again when it opens a new stream or when the app gets focus. The server sends a comment every 25 seconds to keep the connection open, and closes the stream after 15 minutes. The client then opens a new stream.

AuthorizationBearer <token>

Create a client with POST /v1/oauth/clients, then exchange its credentials for an access token. AUTHORIZATION_CODE clients act on behalf of a signed-in user and always use PKCE; CLIENT_CREDENTIALS clients act as themselves. A client may only be granted scopes its creator already holds — read the grantable list from GET /v1/oauth/clients/scopes.
