// await userAlice.channel.alias.info({options?})
const aliasInfo = await userAlice.channel.alias.info({
  alias: aliasAddress,
  aliasChain: "POLYGON",
});

Update channel API

note

This function requires the wallet to have some Push Tokens and eth to pay for gas fees.

No. of Push Token Required = 50 + (No. of Times Channel Has been updated) * 50

js

// userAlice.channel.update({options?})
const updateChannelRes = await userAlice.channel.update({
  name: newChannelName,
  description: newChannelDescription,
  url: newChannelURL,
  icon: newBase64FormatImage,
  alias: newAliasAddressInCAIP,
});

Verify channel API

note

The wallet must have a channel with verification tag to verify other channels.

Channel Verification feature enables a channel owner to verify other channels. A verified channel not only boosts user trust in its notifications but also receives a prominent position in the User interface. Verifications done can have either a Primary or a Secondary verification tag.

• Primary Verification tag: Channels that have directly been verified by the Push.

• Secondary Verification tag: Channels that have been verified by other Primary Verified channels and not directly by the Push.

js

// userAlice.channel.verify(channel)
const verifyChannelRes = await userAlice.channel.verify(channel);
