Inspector

Get Queue

List pending queue messages and queue capacity details.

The inspector API powers the Rivet dashboard and is subject to change without notice. Do not build production integrations on it.

GET https://api.rivet.dev/gateway/{actor}/inspector/queue

Examples

Authentication

Inspector endpoints do not accept namespace tokens. Send the actor’s inspector token as a bearer token in the Authorization header. Each actor generates its own inspector token on first start and stores it in its KV storage under the single byte 0x03. Read it through the control plane with GET /actors/{actor_id}/kv/keys/Aw==?namespace={namespace} using a namespace token; the response value is the token, base64-encoded. The dashboard does this for you.
