Adding a Subscription

Description

  • API name

    Subscribe

  • Function

    Add a subscription to a specified topic. If the status of the subscription is unconfirmed, a confirmation message is sent to the subscriber. After confirming the subscription, the subscriber can receive notification messages published to the topic.

    By default, 10,000 subscriptions can be added to a topic. However, in a high-concurrency scenario, which is rare, extra subscriptions may be added successfully.

    The API is idempotent. If the added subscription already exists, a successful result and status code 200 are returned. Otherwise, the status code is 201.
