Go from a new workspace to authorized WebSocket channels in minutes.
Follow these three steps to publish live events from your server and enforce session rules on private and presence channels.
- 01
Create a regional Realtime app and API key.
Open the Realtime dashboard, create an app in the US or EU region, and save its public app key and server secret alongside a Bird API key. The free plan includes 100 concurrent connections and 200,000 daily messages across your workspace so you can build and test without upfront commitment.
- 02
Subscribe a client and publish your first event.
Connect a browser tab, Swift app, or Kotlin client using the public app key and subscribe to a named channel. Publish an event to that channel from your backend and watch the payload arrive over the open WebSocket connection in real time. Lee la guía de inicio rápido →
- 03
Authorize private and presence channels.
Protect customer-specific order streams and collaborative rooms by adding an authorization endpoint on your server. When a client subscribes to a private or presence channel, your backend checks the user's session and signs a short-lived token that Bird verifies before admitting the connection.
