Redis

Right-click in the tree ▸ Add ▸ Redis request.

Shared configuration

Field	Role
URL	redis://, rediss:// (TLS) or redis-cluster://
Password	Accepts a Secret-typed value
Mode	subscribe or command

Note

There is no user field: most Redis deployments authenticate by password only.

subscribe mode

A Channels field: the list of channels to subscribe to. Published messages arrive as they come in the response panel.

command mode

Two ways of expressing the command:

1. the built-in palette — a dropdown (GET, SET, DEL, HGET, HSET, LPUSH, RPUSH, LRANGE, PUBLISH, XADD, XREAD) plus a list of arguments;
2. the free-form command, a text field along the lines of SET foo bar.

The free-form command wins over the palette when it is filled in. That is the mode to use for anything the palette does not cover.

In a scenario

• Redis subscribe — subscribes and emits one event per message received;
• Redis close — closes the subscription;
• Redis command — runs a single command on a fresh connection and returns its reply (it is a request / response action, not a long-lived connection).

See Connections and streams.

Code snippets

Six targets, for both subscribing and commands: JavaScript (ioredis), redis-cli and Python (redis-py).
