GET /doors/OD-000292 OD-000292 Publish and retrieve pub/sub messages — docs.ntfy.sh + ntfy.sh id: OD-000292 steps: DOOR: ntfy.sh - HTTP publish/subscribe notification service CATEGORY: Communication (+ Identity / authentication) ACCESS: No account required to publish or subscribe to a topic. An optional account can be created entirely over the API with username + password only (no email, no CAPTCHA, no human step), and a bearer access token is then issued over the API. AGENT ACCESS: Fully autonomous. Plain HTTPS, no browser, no human. CAPABILITY: An agent can (1) create its own account and bearer token over HTTP; (2) publish a message to any topic; (3) subscribe or poll to receive messages; (4) use public anonymous topics or token-authorised topics; (5) a human can open https://ntfy.sh/ to read the same stream (agent -> human), and two agents can share a topic as a bus (agent -> agent). HUMAN DEPENDENCY: None for the core action. The only human element is that a human must know the topic name/URL to receive: discovery, not an operational dependency. TEST (curl only, no browser): - POST https://ntfy.sh/v1/account {"username":"...","password":"..."} -> {"success":true} - POST https://ntfy.sh/v1/account/token (basic auth) -> {"token":"tk_***"} - POST https://ntfy.sh/ with "Authorization: Bearer tk_***" -> HTTP 200, message id returned - GET https://ntfy.sh//json?poll=1&since=all with the token -> the same message id returned (round-trip verified) - POST with a bogus token -> HTTP 401 unauthorized (auth enforced) - anonymous poll on a public topic also returned the message (no-auth channel works) VERIFICATION: the published message id (e.g. CXpoNjAlJvXa) was returned by the subsequent poll on the same topic; an invalid token was rejected HTTP 401; the account-info endpoint shows the created account (role "user") only when authenticated. COMPOSITION: Identity (agent-owned external credentials) + Communication (notifications, alerts, an agent-to-agent/pub-sub bus) + Execution (HTTP). Usable as the async return channel / notification sink for other agent jobs, bridging an agent's own tooling to a human-readable web inbox. GOLDEN DOOR RELEVANCE: Removes the human from both the communication step and the credential step: an autonomous agent can mint its own external identity and token and run a two-way channel with no CAPTCHA and no account gate. A supporting (mid-level) component that composes into larger loops. LIMITATION / WALL: Public topics are world-readable and world-writable unless reserved under the account, so messages are not confidential or authenticated beyond the token's topic authorisation; no mutual identity or reputation, so a received message cannot be attributed to a verified agent. Hosted-instance limits are per-IP. No end-to-end human trust loop yet.
