FireFire method used for publishing. When a message is sent using fire, it will not be replicated to other Points of Presence, it will remain at the originating Point of Presence, and is not eligible for archiving via the Message Persistence feature.
Replication FlagControls whether the message should be replicated across stores.

Message Persistence

PubNub's Message Persistence feature enables developers to store messages as they are published, and retrieve them at a later time.
NameDescription
Include TimetokenWhether event dates time tokens should be included in response or not.
Count of Messages on ChannelsThe API is a history based API that simply does a mostly normal history operation but instead of returning the messages in a channel it returns the count of messages. Without actually calling history on those channels this API gives you the ability to say if there are messages in the chat channel you can go look at further.
ReverseTraverse the timeline in reverse starting with the oldest message first.
Start EndTime token delimiting the start/end of time slice (exclusive) to pull messages from.
CountSpecifies the number of historical messages to return.
History with metaThe SDK has support to retrieve History with metadata
Fetch messages from storage with metaThis function fetches historical messages from multiple channels with metadata.
Fetch messages from storage with action flagsThis function fetches historical messages from multiple channels with message action flags.

Subscribe to channel groupsAbility to subscribe to channel groups.
Subscribe to presence channelsAbility to subscribe to presence channels.

Wildcard subscribeWildcard subscribes allow the client to subscribe to multiple channels using wildcard. E.g., if you subscribe to a.* you will get all messages for a.b, a.c, a.x. The wildcarded * portion refers to any portion of the channel string name after the dot (.).
Filter ExpressionStream Filter allows a subscriber to apply a filter to only receive messages that satisfy the conditions of the filter. The message filter is set by the subscribing client(s) but it is applied on the server side thus preventing unwanted messages (those that do not meet the conditions of the filter) from reaching the subscriber.
