ably.net
Ably is a realtime application infrastructure platform for pub/sub messaging, chat, synchronization, and related realtime features. It provides hosted services and tooling for managing applications and messaging resources.
Ably exposes a documented Control REST API with an OpenAPI spec at `https://control.ably.net/v1`, plus an npm-distributed `ably` CLI authenticated either by CLI OAuth login or an Ably access token via `ABLY_ACCESS_TOKEN`.

In the Ably dashboard, go to Access tokens. Click Create new token, choose the account, expiry, and capabilities, then click Create token. Copy the token immediately; the full token is shown only once. These tokens authenticate the Control API and can also be used by the Ably CLI via environment-based auth as documented in Access tokens and CLI env docs.
$ ably loginAcquired by the CLI — running ably login opens the auth flow and stores the credential.
