## Publish a message to a given topic
This endpoint lets you publish data to multiple consumers who are listening on a `topic`.
Dapr guarantees at least once semantics for this endpoint.
### HTTP Request
```
POST http://localhost:<daprPort>/v1.0/publish/<pubsubname>/<topic>[?<metadata>]
```
### HTTP Response codes
Code | Description
---- | -----------
204 | Message delivered
403 | Message forbidden by access controls
404 | No pubsub name or topic given
500 | Delivery failed
### URL Parameters
Parameter | Description
--------- | -----------
daprPort | the Dapr port
pubsubname | the name of pubsub component
topic | the name of the topic
metadata | query parameters for metadata as described below
> Note, all URL parameters are case-sensitive.
```shell
curl -X POST http://localhost:3500/v1.0/publish/pubsubName/deathStarStatus \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"status": "completed"
}'
```
### Headers
The `Content-Type` header tells Dapr which content type your data adheres to when constructing a CloudEvent envelope.
The value of the `Content-Type` header populates the `datacontenttype` field in the CloudEvent.
Unless specified, Dapr assumes `text/plain`. If your content type is JSON, use a `Content-Type` header with the value of `application/json`.
If you want to send your own custom CloundEvent, use the `application/cloudevents+json` value for the `Content-Type` header.
#### Metadata
Metadata can be sent via query parameters in the request's URL. It must be prefixed with `metadata.` as shown below.
Parameter | Description
--------- | -----------
metadata.ttlInSeconds | the number of seconds for the message to expire as [described here]({{< ref pubsub-message-ttl.md >}})
metadata.rawPayload | boolean to determine if Dapr should publish the event without wrapping it as CloudEvent as [described here]({{< ref pubsub-raw.md >}})
> Additional metadata parameters are available based on each pubsub component.
## Optional Application (User Code) Routes
### Provide a route for Dapr to discover topic subscriptions
Dapr will invoke the following endpoint on user code to discover topic subscriptions:
#### HTTP Request
```
GET http://localhost:<appPort>/dapr/subscribe
```
#### URL Parameters
Parameter | Description
--------- | -----------
appPort | the application port
#### HTTP Response body
A json encoded array of strings.
Example:
```json
[
{
"pubsubname": "pubsub",
"topic": "newOrder",
"route": "/orders",
"metadata": {
"rawPayload": "true",
}
}
]
```
> Note, all subscription parameters are case-sensitive.
#### Metadata
Optionally, metadata can be sent via the request body.
Parameter | Description
--------- | -----------
rawPayload | boolean to subscribe to events that do not comply with CloudEvent specification, as [described here]({{< ref pubsub-raw.md >}})
### Provide route(s) for Dapr to deliver topic events
In order to deliver topic events, a `POST` call will be made to user code with the route specified in the subscription response.
The following example illustrates this point, considering a subscription for topic `newOrder` with route `orders` on port 3000: `POST http://localhost:3000/orders`
#### HTTP Request
```
POST http://localhost:<appPort>/<path>
```
> Note, all URL parameters are case-sensitive.
#### URL Parameters
Parameter | Description
--------- | -----------
appPort | the application port
path | route path from the subscription configuration
#### Expected HTTP Response
An HTTP 2xx response denotes successful processing of message.
For richer response handling, a JSON encoded payload body with the processing status can be sent:
```json
{
"status": "<status>"
}
```
Status | Description
--------- | -----------
SUCCESS | message is processed successfully
RETRY | message to be retried by Dapr
DROP | warning is logged and message is dropped
Others | error, message to be retried by Dapr
Dapr assumes a JSON encoded payload response without `status` field or an empty payload responses with HTTP 2xx, as `SUCCESS`.
The HTTP response might be different from HTTP 2xx, the following are Dapr's behavior in different HTTP statuses:
HTTP Status | Description
--------- | -----------
2xx | message is processed as per status in payload (`SUCCESS` if empty; ignored if invalid payload).
404 | error is logged and message is dropped
other | warning is logged and message to be retried
## Message envelope
Dapr Pub/Sub adheres to version 1.0 of CloudEvents.
