Gateway

Learn how to establish and maintain Gateway API connections with a Rigel instance.

The Gateway API lets apps open secure WebSocket connections with an instance to receive events about actions that take place in a server/guild, like when a channel is updated or a role is created. There are a few cases where apps will also use Gateway connections to update or request resources, like when updating voice state.

Note

In most cases, performing REST operations on Rigel resources can be done using the HTTP API rather than the Gateway API.
