Create an open channel

Creates an open channel that facilitates conversations for millions of users through dynamic partitioning into subchannels. Users need no invitation to join, making it suitable for short-lived live events like concerts or live streams that don't require sustained membership.

Manage users, group channels, open channels, messages, metadata, moderation, bots, and announcements through the official Sendbird Chat Platform API v3. The complete boundary is the 83 REST endpoints reconstructed from a pinned official generated SDK revision; client realtime protocols and Chat SDKs are not part of this collection. Application data is the caller's private content, so Pontx does not proxy, cache, or aggregate it and callers use the local SDK/CLI directly.
