FAQs

1. How does Heartbeat work?

Heartbeat takes REST API endpoints and transforms them into realtime APIs. Behind the scenes, heartbeat runs a worker process that will poll the REST API at the polling frequency you specify in the dashboard and show the changes via an elegant realtime endpoint.

2. How can I use the realtime APIs in my app?

Heartbeat provides a realtime API that can be used from your Javascript app or via a generic REST like API. You can access the code snippets from within the dashboard and they can be used on web and mobile apps (and even backend).

3. What does it cost?

Heartbeat is free to use while in beta. Up to five REST endpoints per user are allowed, and the minimum polling frequency supported is 1-min.
