About HTTP server-sent events

Your application can use a server-sent events endpoint to receive updates in real-time. Server-sent events is an incredibly simple transport method that relies entirely on chunked-encoding transfer; in other words, the HTTP connection is kept open and receives new data periodically.

The stream will contain events as well as heartbeat comments. Lines that begin with a colon (:) can be ignored by parsers. For example, the connection may be kept alive with a heartbeat comment:

:thump

Generally, events have this structure:

event: <name>
data: <payload>

Returns: String

Establishing a WebSocket connection

wss://mastodon.example/api/v1/streaming

Returns: Stream of Event
OAuth: Public, or user token + read (or read:statuses and/or read:notifications)
Version history:
3.3.0 - added

Open a multiplexed WebSocket connection to receive events.

Parameters

Query parameters are recommended for single-purpose connections, but parameters may also be provided by sending a JSON-encoded payload over the WebSocket connection with type parameter.

Example subscription to local statuses containing the hashtag #foo:

{ "type": "subscribe", "stream": "hashtag:local", "tag": "foo" }

Example unsubscription from user updates:

{ "type": "unsubscribe", "stream": "user" }

access_token: required String. A user-authorized OAuth token.
stream: required String. The stream to watch for events. See Streams for possible values.
list: String. When stream is set to list, use this parameter to specify the list ID.
tag: String. When stream is set to hashtag or hashtag:local, use this parameter to specify the tag name.
type: String. For JSON-encoded payloads sent to the server, specify either subscribe or unsubscribe in order to manage the events that you wish to receive.

Events

Events are JSON-encoded. If an invalid access token is provided, the connection will be closed immediately. If your server has enabled limited federation mode or authorized-fetch mode, then an access token must be provided in order to receive events.

An example update to the public timeline:

{
  "stream": [
    "public"
  ],
  "event": "update",
  "payload": "{\"id\":\"108913983692647032\",\"created_at\":\"2022-08-30T21:38:22.000Z\",\"in_reply_to_id\":\"108913981098896721\",\"in_reply_to_account_id\":\"1081104\",\"sensitive\":false,\"spoiler_text\":\"\",\"visibility\":\"public\",\"language\":\"en\",\"uri\":\"https://fosstodon.org/users/tobtobxx/statuses/108913983628474640\",\"url\":\"https://fosstodon.org/@tobtobxx/108913983628474640\",\"replies_count\":0,\"reblogs_count\":0,\"favourites_count\":0,\"edited_at\":null,\"content\":\"<p>And now I can't exit the inner nvim because I mapped escape to the parent vim instance 😂</p>\",\"reblog\":null,\"account\":{\"id\":\"1081104\",\"username\":\"tobtobxx\",\"acct\":\"tobtobxx@fosstodon.org\",\"display_name\":\"TobTobXX\",\"locked\":false,\"bot\":false,\"discoverable\":true,\"group\":false,\"created_at\":\"2020-01-10T00:00:00.000Z\",\"note\":\"<p>Young tech enthusiast.

}

Note that while the event is JSON-encoded, the payload is string-encoded and escaped, so it must be parsed and loaded as JSON from that string.

An example delete event from the public timeline:

{
  "stream": [
    "public"
  ],
  "event": "delete",
  "payload": "106692867363994015"
}

An example filter change by the user:

{
  "stream": [
    "user"
  ],
  "event": "filters_changed"
}

Note that the payload property is not present for filters_changed events.
