Interface for accessing SimpleNotificationService Amazon Simple Notification Service

Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) is a web service that enables you to build distributed web-enabled applications. Applications can use Amazon SNS to easily push real-time notification messages to interested subscribers over multiple delivery protocols. For more information about this product see http://aws.amazon.com/sns. For detailed information about Amazon SNS features and their associated API calls, see the Amazon SNS Developer Guide.

We also provide SDKs that enable you to access Amazon SNS from your preferred programming language. The SDKs contain functionality that automatically takes care of tasks such as: cryptographically signing your service requests, retrying requests, and handling error responses. For a list of available SDKs, go to Tools for Amazon Web Services.

Public Method CreatePlatformApplication(CreatePlatformApplicationRequest) Creates a platform application object for one of the supported push notification services, such as APNS and GCM, to which devices and mobile apps may register. You must specify PlatformPrincipal and PlatformCredential attributes when using the CreatePlatformApplication action. The PlatformPrincipal is received from the notification service. For APNS/APNS_SANDBOX, PlatformPrincipal is "SSL certificate". For GCM, PlatformPrincipal is not applicable. For ADM, PlatformPrincipal is "client id". The PlatformCredential is also received from the notification service. For APNS/APNS_SANDBOX, PlatformCredential is "private key". For GCM, PlatformCredential is "API key". For ADM, PlatformCredential is "client secret". The PlatformApplicationArn that is returned when using CreatePlatformApplication is then used as an attribute for the CreatePlatformEndpoint action. For more information, see Using Amazon SNS Mobile Push Notifications.
Public Method CreatePlatformEndpoint(CreatePlatformEndpointRequest) Creates an endpoint for a device and mobile app on one of the supported push notification services, such as GCM and APNS. CreatePlatformEndpoint requires the PlatformApplicationArn that is returned from CreatePlatformApplication. The EndpointArn that is returned when using CreatePlatformEndpoint can then be used by the Publish action to send a message to a mobile app or by the Subscribe action for subscription to a topic. The CreatePlatformEndpoint action is idempotent, so if the requester already owns an endpoint with the same device token and attributes, that endpoint's ARN is returned without creating a new endpoint. For more information, see Using Amazon SNS Mobile Push Notifications.

When using CreatePlatformEndpoint with Baidu, two attributes must be provided: ChannelId and UserId. The token field must also contain the ChannelId. For more information, see Creating an Amazon SNS Endpoint for Baidu.

Public Method CreateTopic(string) Creates a topic to which notifications can be published. Users can create at most 3000 topics. For more information, see http://aws.amazon.com/sns. This action is idempotent, so if the requester already owns a topic with the specified name, that topic's ARN is returned without creating a new topic.
Public Method CreateTopic(CreateTopicRequest) Creates a topic to which notifications can be published. Users can create at most 3000 topics. For more information, see http://aws.amazon.com/sns. This action is idempotent, so if the requester already owns a topic with the specified name, that topic's ARN is returned without creating a new topic.
Public Method DeleteEndpoint(DeleteEndpointRequest) Deletes the endpoint from Amazon SNS. This action is idempotent. For more information, see Using Amazon SNS Mobile Push Notifications.
Public Method DeletePlatformApplication(DeletePlatformApplicationRequest) Deletes a platform application object for one of the supported push notification services, such as APNS and GCM. For more information, see Using Amazon SNS Mobile Push Notifications.
Public Method DeleteTopic(string) Deletes a topic and all its subscriptions. Deleting a topic might prevent some messages previously sent to the topic from being delivered to subscribers. This action is idempotent, so deleting a topic that does not exist does not result in an error.
Public Method DeleteTopic(DeleteTopicRequest) Deletes a topic and all its subscriptions. Deleting a topic might prevent some messages previously sent to the topic from being delivered to subscribers. This action is idempotent, so deleting a topic that does not exist does not result in an error.

When a messageId is returned, the message has been saved and Amazon SNS will attempt to deliver it to the topic's subscribers shortly. The format of the outgoing message to each subscribed endpoint depends on the notification protocol selected.

To use the Publish action for sending a message to a mobile endpoint, such as an app on a Kindle device or mobile phone, you must specify the EndpointArn. The EndpointArn is returned when making a call with the CreatePlatformEndpoint action. The second example below shows a request and response for publishing to a mobile endpoint.

The policy applied to the SQS queue is similar to this:

{
    "Version" : "2008-10-17",
    "Statement" : [{
        "Sid" : "topic-subscription-arn:aws:sns:us-west-2:599109622955:myTopic",
        "Effect" : "Allow",
        "Principal" : {
            "AWS":["*"]
        },
        "Action" : ["sqs:SendMessage"],
        "Resource":["arn:aws:sqs:us-west-2:599109622955:myQueue"],
        "Condition" : {
            "ArnLike":{
                "aws:SourceArn":["arn:aws:sns:us-west-2:599109622955:myTopic"]
            }
        }
    }]
}
            

There might be a small time period immediately after subscribing the SQS queue to the SNS topic and updating the SQS queue's policy, where messages are not able to be delivered to the queue. After a moment, the new queue policy will propagate and the queue will be able to receive messages. This delay only occurs immediately after initially subscribing the queue.

Public Method Unsubscribe(string) Deletes a subscription. If the subscription requires authentication for deletion, only the owner of the subscription or the topic's owner can unsubscribe, and an AWS signature is required. If the Unsubscribe call does not require authentication and the requester is not the subscription owner, a final cancellation message is delivered to the endpoint, so that the endpoint owner can easily resubscribe to the topic if the Unsubscribe request was unintended.
Public Method Unsubscribe(UnsubscribeRequest) Deletes a subscription. If the subscription requires authentication for deletion, only the owner of the subscription or the topic's owner can unsubscribe, and an AWS signature is required. If the Unsubscribe call does not require authentication and the requester is not the subscription owner, a final cancellation message is delivered to the endpoint, so that the endpoint owner can easily resubscribe to the topic if the Unsubscribe request was unintended.
