DECRBY to subtract an integer from the value stored at a key and get the result.
A missing key counts as 0. The stored value must be the string form of a 64-bit signed integer, and an operation that would exceed that range returns an error. The whole update is atomic, so concurrent callers cannot lose a decrement. Passing a negative amount adds instead, which makes INCRBY and DECRBY two views of the same operation.
Syntax
Arguments
Response
The reply reports the result of the operation. Error replies have the same shape in RESP2 and RESP3 and are surfaced as exceptions by the SDKs below.Client libraries often decode bulk strings, maps, sets, and numeric strings into language-native values. The table describes the Redis wire reply.
Examples
TCP examples use the TLSREDIS_URL from the Upstash console. REST examples use UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_URL and UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN.
