API key in Security page
class SimpleApp : Application() {
override fun onCreate() {
super.onCreate()
AmityCoreClient.setup(
apiKey = "apiKey",
httpEndpoint = AmityRegionalEndpoint.EU, // optional param, defaulted as SG region
socketEndpoint = AmityRegionalEndpoint.EU // optional param, defaulted as SG region
)
}
}
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 |
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.Last modified 4mo ago
