Features

Everything you need to move messages

A complete messaging toolkit designed around simplicity, speed, and developer experience.

Priority Queue Messaging

Deliver critical messages first with built-in priority levels. Urgent events always jump the queue.

Real-time Pub/Sub Signals

Push instant updates to subscribers the moment a message arrives. No polling required.

Polling Fallback

Graceful degradation with reliable long-polling when WebSockets aren't available.

API-first Design

Clean RESTful endpoints with predictable responses. Integrate in minutes, not days.

Multi-tenant Projects

Isolate workloads per project with independent channels, keys, and rate limits.

Secure API Keys

Generate scoped API keys per project with granular permissions and automatic rotation.

How it works

Go from zero to production in three steps

Step 01

Create a Project

Set up an isolated workspace with its own channels, configurations, and team access.

Step 02

Generate an API Key

Create scoped credentials in one click. Fine-tune permissions per key.

Step 03

Send & Receive Messages

POST a message, poll or subscribe — your system is live in under five minutes.

Developer Experience

Designed for developers, by developers

Clean, predictable REST APIs. No SDKs required — just HTTP. BlinkQ works with any language, framework, or platform.

  • RESTful endpoints with consistent JSON responses
  • Scoped API keys with granular permissions
  • Priority levels from 0 (low) to 10 (critical)
  • Built-in long-polling with configurable timeouts
