Pusher API libraries

Sending and receiving messages using the Pusher API requires libraries. In this section you’ll find libraries for a variety of platforms.

Pusher libraries are divided into 2 categories:

• Client libraries predominantly consume messages using a WebSocket interface. Think of them as subscribers, although it’s possible to publish messages using Client Events.
• Server libraries publish messages, request information using our HTTP API, authenticate channel subscriptions, and handle Webhook calls. Think of them as publishers, although it’s possible to subscribe to messages using Client Event Webhooks.

Official libraries

The following libraries are updated and supported by Pusher.

Community libraries

These libraries are built by members of the Pusher Developer Community. They are potentially incomplete and are therefore not officially supported by Pusher. It’s recommended that you first reach out to the maintainer of the library before contacting support.
