You can call this operation to query the number of connected Message Queue for MQTT (MQTT) clients that subscribe to the specified topic.

Scenarios

OnsMqttQueryClientByTopic is typically used for service analysis. The devices that subscribe to a specific topic generally participate in the same activity. Through query by topic, you can obtain the number of devices that participate in this activity.

API operations are designed for you to implement custom management and development. Based on this, the MQTT broker throttles frequent calls that amount to 30 or more per minute. Therefore, do not call this operation in the main service process. To determine whether an MQTT client is connected, use the device online/offline notification function. If an MQTT client is online, this client has been connected to an MQTT broker.

Debugging

OpenAPI Explorer automatically calculates the signature value. For your convenience, we recommend that you call this operation in OpenAPI Explorer. After you call this operation in OpenAPI Explorer, OpenAPI Explorer dynamically generates SDK sample code.
