AuthAuthenticated Bearer token or console session with X-CSRF-Token · requires message:publish

Publishes a message. It correlates with every waiting subscription that matches name and correlationKey, and is buffered for timeToLive milliseconds for later subscribers. An optional messageId is passed to the engine as the publication’s deduplication id.

x-tenant-id
string
>= 1 characters

Tenant selection. A principal bound to one tenant may omit it; if sent, it must equal that tenant (403 otherwise). A principal that may act in several tenants must send it on every request: without it the request is refused with 400, and a tenant it may not act in is refused with 403.

Idempotency-Key
string
>= 1 characters <= 200 characters

Makes a retried command safe. A repeat with the same key and the same body replays the first answer. A repeat with the same key and a different body is refused with 409.
