How the API works

Authentication

Each channel has a unique API key. Include the API key in your publish request body to authenticate. No bearer tokens or OAuth needed for publishing.

Publishing Messages

Send a POST request to /v1/messaging/publish with your channel API key and message text. Katie handles the text-to-speech conversion and delivers it to subscribers based on their filter settings.

Broadcasting

Need to reach everyone? Set "broadcast": true in your message metadata to bypass all subscriber filters and deliver to 100% of channel subscribers. Useful for emergency alerts or critical announcements.

TTS Override

Optionally provide a message_tts field with text optimized for speech synthesis. This lets you display one version of the message while speaking a different version tuned for pronunciation.

Message Metadata & Filtering

Attach a meta object to messages for filtering. Subscribers can set up filters so they only hear the messages that match their criteria.

Smart Publishing

Use GET /v1/messaging/subscriber-filters to fetch aggregated filter data for your channel. The SDKs provide a should_publish() method that evaluates filters locally, letting you skip publishes when no subscriber would receive the message — saving API calls and TTS costs.
