Specify Endpoints Manually (Optional)

You can specify endpoints manually via optional parameters. API endpoints for each data center are different so you need to adjust the endpoint accordingly.

We currently support multi-data center capabilities for the following regions:

Region	Endpoint	Endpoint URL
Europe	AmityRegionalEndpoint.EU	api.eu.amity.co
Singapore	AmityRegionalEndpoint.SG	api.sg.amity.co
United States	AmityRegionalEndpoint.US	api.us.amity.co

Authentication

You must first register the current device with a userId. A device registered with a userId will be permanently tied to that userId until you deliberately unregister the device, or until the device has been inactive for more than 90 days. A device registered with a specific userId will receive all messages belonging to that user.
