Each API has a functionality associated with it. These functions are as follows:
- Send: The server responds with the requested data only once. All API calls support the send function of requesting and receiving responses.
- Subscribe: Subscribing to an API call initiates a continuous stream of data from that specific API call.
- Forget: Stops the data stream initiated by the subscribe call using the Forget API call.
Refer to API calls for more information.
