Offline push

This page shows how to call Chat RESTful APIs to set the display name, display style, push notification mode, and do-not-disturb (DND) mode.

Before calling the following methods, ensure that you meet the following:

• You understand the call frequency limit of the Chat RESTful APIs as described in Limitations.

• You have activated the advanced features for push in Agora Console. Advanced features allow you to set the push notification mode, do-not-disturb mode, and custom push template.

You must contact support@agora.io to disable the advanced features for push as this operation will delete all the relevant configurations.

The following table lists common request and response parameters of the Chat RESTful APIs:

​

host	String	The domain name assigned by the Chat service to access RESTful APIs. For how to get the domain name, see Get the information of your project.	Yes
org_name	String	The unique identifier assigned to each company (organization) by the Chat service. For how to get the org name, see Get the information of the Chat project.	Yes
app_name	String	The unique identifier assigned to each app by the Chat service. For how to get the app name, see Get the information of the Chat project.	Yes
username	String	The unique login account of the user.	Yes

​

Parameter	Type	Description
action	String	The request method.
organization	String	The unique identifier assigned to each company (organization) by the Chat service. This is the same as org_name.
application	String	A unique internal ID assigned to each app by the Chat service. You can safely ignore this parameter.
applicationName	String	The unique identifier assigned to each app by the Chat service . This is the same as app_name.

Chat RESTful APIs require Bearer HTTP authentication. Every time an HTTP request is sent, the following Authorization field must be filled in the request header:

_1

Authorization: Bearer ${YourAppToken}

In order to improve the security of the project, Agora uses a token (dynamic key) to authenticate users before they log in to the chat system. Chat RESTful APIs only support authenticating users using app tokens. For details, see Authentication using App Token.

Sets the nickname displayed in push notifications.

For each App Key, the total call frequency limit of this method and the method to set the display style is 100 per second.
