REST API for triggering events and querying channel information in Pusher Channels. The API exposes 6 endpoints secured with apiKey authentication.
Install Jentic One Beta
Connect the Pusher Channels HTTP API to your agent
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Pusher Channels HTTP API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.
Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.

Step 1: Jentic One Host machine
# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fpusher.com%2Fpusher" | sh2
Step 2: Agent machine
# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fpusher.com%2Fpusher" | sh
jentic register # connects your agent to your Jentic One instanceJentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.
Capabilities
What an agent can do with Pusher Channels HTTP API.
Trigger single event
Fetch multiple channels
Terminate user connections
Use Cases
Patterns agents use Pusher Channels HTTP API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Communications Operations
Use the Pusher Channels HTTP API to perform communications operations programmatically. The API provides 6 endpoints covering core functionality including trigger single event, trigger multiple events, fetch multiple channels.
Call POST /apps/{app_id}/events to trigger single event
Automated apps Management
Automate apps operations by combining multiple Pusher Channels HTTP API endpoints. Agents can trigger multiple events and then fetch multiple channels in a single workflow.
Call POST /apps/{app_id}/batch_events to trigger multiple events, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call Pusher Channels HTTP API endpoints through Jentic without managing credentials directly. An agent searches for the required operation by intent, receives the matching endpoint schema, and executes the call with Jentic-managed authentication. This eliminates the need to read API documentation or handle apiKey tokens manually.
Search Jentic for 'trigger single event', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Why Jentic?
What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring the Pusher Channels HTTP API by hand means selecting the right cluster host, computing its query auth signature, and handling event and channel calls yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the Pusher Channels HTTP API from the API Directory, store the key once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
Pusher puts the app id in the URL path (/apps/{app_id}/...), so a rule can pin your agent to one app: it can trigger events and query channels for that app and nothing else. You choose the operations it may call, so terminating a user's connections is not included unless you add it.
Credential isolation
Your Pusher key is stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time. It never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'trigger an event on a channel' or 'list occupied channels', and Jentic returns the matching Pusher operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs
Specific to using Pusher Channels HTTP API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Pusher Channels HTTP API use?
The Pusher Channels HTTP API uses an API key passed in the `auth_signature` query. Through Jentic, these credentials are stored encrypted in your Jentic One instance and injected at execution time, so raw secrets never enter the agent context.
Can I trigger single event with the Pusher Channels HTTP API?
Yes. Use the POST /apps/{app_id}/events endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the Pusher Channels HTTP API?
Rate limits are not specified in the OpenAPI spec. Check the vendor documentation for current limits. Through Jentic, rate limiting is handled automatically with retry logic built into the execution layer.
How do I trigger single event through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'trigger single event'. Jentic returns the matching Pusher Channels HTTP API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the Pusher Channels HTTP API have?
The Pusher Channels HTTP API exposes 6 endpoints covering apps operations.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Pusher Channels HTTP API?
Yes. Jentic One runs self-hosted, so your own rules decide which Pusher operations and credentials the agent may use. Because Pusher puts the app id in the URL path (/apps/{app_id}/...), a rule can pin the agent to a single app, letting it trigger events and query channels for that app and nothing else. You also choose the exact operations it may call, so terminating a user's connections stays off-limits unless you explicitly grant it.
