Fauna Event Streaming API

The Fauna Event Streaming API enables real-time change data capture by maintaining an open connection to the Fauna database and pushing events to clients as they occur. Developers can subscribe to document or set changes and receive add, remove, and update events in real time. The API supports reconnection with a start timestamp to avoid missing events during disconnections. It is accessible via the /stream/1 HTTP endpoint with token-based authentication.

Fauna Event Streaming API is one of 9 APIs that Fauna publishes on the APIs.io network, described by an AsyncAPI event-driven specification.

Tagged areas include Change Data Capture, Database, Event, Real-Time, and Streaming. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation and an AsyncAPI specification.

This event API exposes 2 operations across 1 channel, and defines 11 schemas. It is described by AsyncAPI 2.6.0, at version 1.

The API connects through a single server, https://db.fauna.com (https).

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Fauna Event Streaming API, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
