session.unsubscribe command

Syntax

To unsubscribe using subscription ID:

{
  "method": "session.unsubscribe",
  "params": {
    "subscriptions": ["<subscription ID>"]
  }
}

To unsubscribe using event name:

{
  "method": "session.unsubscribe",
  "params": {
    "events": ["<event name>"]
  }
}

Parameters

The input is an object with one of the following fields:

subscriptions

An array of one or more subscription IDs that specifies the subscriptions to cancel, including both global and context-scoped subscriptions.

events

An array of one or more strings that specifies event names for canceling subscriptions. Each string can be either a specific event name (for example, "log.entryAdded") or a module name (for example, "log") that unsubscribes the client from all events in that module. Only global subscriptions can be removed using event names; those created using contexts or userContexts cannot be.

Return value

None.

Errors

invalid argument

When unsubscribing using IDs, a subscription ID is not found. When unsubscribing using event names, the events array is empty or omitted, or an event name does not match any active global subscription.

Examples

Unsubscribing using a subscription ID

With an active subscription, send the following message to cancel it by ID:

{
  "id": 3,
  "method": "session.unsubscribe",
  "params": {
    "subscriptions": ["c7b7b3a2-1f4b-4b4e-8a1f-2a3b4c5d6e7f"]
  }
}

After successfully unsubscribing, the browser responds as follows:

{
  "id": 3,
  "type": "success",
  "result": {}
}

Unsubscribing from an event globally using an event name

With a global subscription to log.entryAdded active, send the following message to stop receiving that event:

{
  "id": 4,
  "method": "session.unsubscribe",
  "params": {
    "events": ["log.entryAdded"]
  }
}

After successfully unsubscribing, the browser responds as follows:

{
  "id": 4,
  "type": "success",
  "result": {}
}

Unsubscribing from multiple events globally using event names

With global subscriptions active, send the following message to unsubscribe from all events in the log module and a specific event from the network module:

{
  "id": 5,
  "method": "session.unsubscribe",
  "params": {
    "events": ["log", "network.beforeRequestSent"]
  }
}

After successfully unsubscribing, the browser responds as follows:

{
  "id": 5,
  "type": "success",
  "result": {}
}
