store integer

auth string

ttl number

Set a per-message time-to-live in Message Persistence.

This parameter accepts both integer and floating-point numbers.

For Integer values:

  • If store = 1, and ttl = 0, the message is stored with no expiry time.
  • If store = 1, and ttl = X (X is an Integer value), the message is stored with an expiry time of X hours.
  • If store = 0, the ttl parameter is ignored.
  • If ttl is not specified, expiration of the message defaults back to the expiry value of the subscribe key.

For Float values:

  • If store = 1, and ttl <= 0, the message is stored with your subscribe key's configured TTL.
  • If store = 1, and ttl >= your subscribe key's configured TTL, the message is stored with your subscribe key's configured TTL.
  • If store = 1, and ttl = X (X is a Float value), the message is stored with an expiry time of X hours (e.g., 0.5 = 30 minutes).
  • If store = 0, the ttl parameter is ignored.
  • If ttl is not specified, expiration of the message defaults back to the expiry value of the subscribe key.

Example: 0.5

signature string

If Access Manager is enabled, either a valid authorization token or a signature are required. Check Access Manager documentation for details on how to compute the signature.
