Here you create an exchange, not a channel. The channel in AMQP is
used to send commands to the broker, like queue declare or exchange
declare, and to also send/receive messages.

basicGet (or basicConsume for that matter), don't look at routing keys
when getting messages. Again, the channel knows nothing about routing
keys used for the bindings above. basicGet or basicConsume will just
get the messages from the queue. That is, if a message was routed to
the queue, with whatever routing key, then that message can be
consumed from that queue using either basicGet or basicConsume. BTW,
unless you want to read one message at a time, then is better to use
basicConsume.
