WebSync Version 2 Docs

Getting started with WebSync is easy!

1. Get a free account to login.
   You will need an account to manage your domains.
2. Register your domain to use WebSync.
   A unique key is used to identify each of your domains.
3. Add WebSync to your application!
   Drop the latest client javascript into your page and start sending and receiving messages!

That's it! Check out the tutorials to learn more about how to integrate WebSync with your applications.

Each domain has both a public and private key.

• The public key is intended to be used when (a) security is not an issue or (b) the key is visible to the end user (i.e. in the JavaScript client).
• The private key is intended to be used when (a) secured access is important or (b) the key cannot be viewed by end users (i.e. in a proxy).

All client methods can be secured by requiring the private key to operate. Check out the Portal to configure private key requirements for your domain.

Channel names must start with a forward slash (/) and be composed of alphanumeric characters. Additional forward slashes may be used to organize channels (e.g. /myapplication/chat and /myapplication/activity).

There are two reserved channels: /meta and /websync. Channel names may not start with these values.

Domain keys can be configured to allow or deny connections from localhost. Typically, you would allow connections from localhost while actively developing and then deny them once the application is in production.
