Push Notifications

This chapter describes methods to be used to get push notifications to the phone. Push notifications are available only for clients with type app_client, that is, applications in phones.

Following scheme is used to provide push notifications for the user:

  • Client subscribes to events, providing event names and filters.
  • Push notification is sent after each subscribed event with basic event information.
  • Client gets all pending events from API with full information.
  • Client unsubscribes from events to stop push notifications. Notifications also stops after access token is invalidated.

Events and their subscriptions are always bound to access token - if new access token is issued, client must re-subscribe to the events. All methods must be accessed with access token to work.
