APIs overview
Quix provides two APIs that complement Quix Streams, the main client library, for use cases where Quix Streams isn't a fit — for example a non-Python client, a resource-constrained environment, or a web browser.
Comparing the APIs
| API | Interface | Purpose | Typical use case | Docs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Streaming Reader API | SignalR (WebSockets and Long Polling) | Subscribe to a Quix topic | Web browser client, dashboard, command line client | Streaming Reader API |
| Portal API | HTTP (REST) | Automate Quix | Creating and monitoring deployments | Portal API |
