# Create a subscription

> Creates a delivery subscription for the authenticated tenant. The tenant is taken from the validated JWT claims only — a `tenant_id` in the body is ignored.

A `webhook` subscription is born `active` and mints a signing secret that is returned exactly once in this response (see `signingSecret`). A queue subscription (`sqs`, `rabbitmq`, `eventbridge`) is born `pending_verification` and mints no secret; it stays undeliverable until an outbound credential is supplied and probed via `PUT /v1/subscriptions/{id}/credential`. Inline `sink_config` or `credential` at create is rejected — queue credentials arrive only on the credential PUT.

    The Streaming Hub control-plane API. Streaming Hub is Lerian's managed
    event-delivery edge: it consumes CloudEvents from the platform's internal
    streaming backbone and fans them out to a tenant's own external destinations
    — webhooks, Amazon SQS, RabbitMQ, Amazon EventBridge, or a pull inbox. This
    API lets a tenant browse the manifest-fed event catalog, create and manage
    delivery subscriptions, verify and rotate their credentials, read delivery
    health, and pull entitled events.


    Errors use a flat `{"error":"<token>"}` envelope (a low-cardinality,
    machine-readable token — never RFC 9457 problem+json). Mutating operations
    require an `X-Idempotency` header for at-most-once semantics; a replayed
    request returns the original response byte-for-byte with
    `X-Idempotency-Replayed: true`. The catalog and the pull events surface are
    tenant-scoped through the bearer JWT; the operational probe endpoints
    (`/healthz`, `/readyz`, `/version`, `/runtime`, `/metrics`) are
    unauthenticated. Streaming Hub is closed source under the Lerian Studio
    General License.
