PubSub moderator actions for multiple channels

I realize that this is not part of the official PubSub documentation, but it’s possible to listen to multiple channels’ chat_moderator_actions . towards this end, my software uses this syntax i stole from the live website

As per

PubSub

Only

chat_moderator_actions.<channel ID>

is supported. So there’s your problem, you are trying to read an undocumented topic, and the undocumented topic doesn’t do what you need it to do.

But each message sent over pubsub, should take the format:

{
    topic: thetopic
    message: AnotherJson
}

So you should be able to parse the topic key for the channelID

the obvious workaround to this seems to be to just create a separate connection for each channel with their separate auth_tokens, by-the-book topics and to store in my own code the respective channel names, but that seems very wasteful towards the 10 connections/ip limit.

I use one connection with multiple pairs of topics and auth keys. So you can listen to 10 channels with 10 different auth keys, just send multiple listens. And parse the topic key of each message to see which topic it’s for.

I read the topic. Split around ‘.’ and use the first party to route to the right handler and the second for which channel the message is for
