Event Types
Understanding Event Types in NotifySub
NotifySub supports multiple event types, which may or may not be available across different platforms. When event types are added in NotifySub, their names are typically based on commonly used terms like “follow” and “subscribe,” reflecting how these actions are understood across most platforms. For example, while YouTube uses the term “subscribe” in a non-monetary context, NotifySub aligns “subscribe” with its usual meaning on other platforms, where it often implies a monetary action (like a membership). This approach ensures consistency and clarity, even when platform-specific terms differ.
Notification Payload Structure
All event types in NotifySub follow a standardized structure, as shown below:
{
"subscription": {
"type": "<event_type>",
"version": "<version>",
"condition": {
"platform": "<platform>",
"platform_id": "<platform_id>"
}
},
"notification": {
"id": "<notification_id>",
"created_at": "<timestamp>"
},
"event": <payload>
}
The condition
section should match what you used when subscribing to that event type.
To receive these notifications, you need to subscribe to the event types you are interested in, check out the Socket API documentation for more information.

None. This event type is coming directly via the OWN3D Pro tipping page.
Custom
This notification is sent, when a custom event is triggered.
Each custom event must provide a label
attribute, which is used to identify the event type.
Valid labels have two segments: an optional prefix and name, seperated by a slash (/
). This is required to avoid conflicts with other vendors and must be a string of 32 characters or less, beginning and ending with an alphanumeric character ([a-zA-Z0-9]
), and containing only alphanumeric characters, hyphens (-
), underscores (_
) and dots (.
). The prefix is optional and can be used to group events by a vendor. If specified, the prefix must be a DNS subdomain: a series of DNS labels separated by dots (.
), no longer than 31 characters in total, followed by a slash (/
).
The own3d.pro/
prefix is reserved for OWN3D Pro events.
