GET /apps/{app_id}/channels/{channel_name}/users

Returns the list of user_id values currently subscribed to a presence channel. Only works on presence-* channels.

Response

{
  "users": [
    { "id": "alice" },
    { "id": "bob" },
    { "id": "carol" }
  ]
}

Order is not guaranteed.

Notes

• The endpoint returns user IDs only — not the user_info payload. To get full member info, subscribe to the presence channel from a server-side socket and inspect pusher:subscription_succeeded.
• A user with multiple connected sockets (multi-tab) appears once in the response; presence dedupes by user_id.

SDK shortcuts

• PHP — $pusher->get('/channels/presence-room-42/users')
• Node — pusher.get({ path: '/channels/presence-room-42/users' })
• Python — p.users_info('presence-room-42')

Dashboard alternative

In the Mawjly dashboard, Channels tab → click any presence channel → the right-side Sheet shows the live member list. Useful for incident response and “who’s actually on this channel right now.”
