Using the REST API

The Rest API provides a RESTful interface to a Pulsar cluster. With this interface, you can produce and consume messages without using the Pulsar protocol or clients.

• Supported functionality:
  • Support Rest API on both non-partitioned and partitioned topics.
  • Produce, consume, and acknowledge messages through a RESTful interface without using the native Pulsar protocol or clients.
  • Support basic and Avro base struct schema.
• Unsupported functionality:
  • Batch, chunk, and compression at producing messaging.
  • Failover, shared, and key-shared subscription types.
  • Retry letter topic, dead letter topic, and negative acknowledgment.
