The Apprise API

Apprise allows you to send a notification to almost all of the most popular notification services available to us today such as: Telegram, Discord, Slack, Amazon SNS, Gotify, etc. This API provides a simple gateway to directly access it via an HTTP interface.

This project was designed to be incredibly light weight.
Configuration can be persistently stored for retrieval.

Stateless Endpoints

Those who wish to treat this API as nothing but a sidecar and/or microservice to their project only need to use the following URL.

URL Description

/notify/

Used to notify one one or more specified Apprise URLs. See the Apprise Wiki if you need help constructing your URL(s).

Parameter	Description
urls	Used to define one or more Apprise URL(s). Use a comma and/or space to separate one URL from the next.
body	Defines the message body. This field is required!
title	The title to include in the notification. This is an optional field.
type	This optional field defines the notification type. The possible options are: `info` - this is the default option if a type isn't specified. `success` `warning` `failure`

curl example


								    # Notifies an email address

								    curl -X POST -d '{"urls":"mailto://user:pass@gmail.com","body":"test body","title":"test title"}' \

										    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \

										    https://apprise.000105.xyz/notify/

python example


                    import json

                    from urllib.request import Request

                    

                    payload = {

                        'urls': 'mailto://user:pass@gmail.com',

                        'title': 'test title',

                        'body': 'test body',

                    }

                    
# The URL

                    req = Request(

                        "https://apprise.000105.xyz/notify/",

                        json.dumps(payload).encode('utf-8'),

                        {"Content-Type": "application/json"},

                        method='POST',

                   )

php example

<?php

                  

                  // The URL

                  $url = 'https://apprise.000105.xyz/notify/';

                  

                  //Initiate cURL.

                  $ch = curl_init($url);

                   

                  //The JSON data.

                  $jsonData = array(

                      'urls' => 'mailto://user:pass@hotmail.com',

                      'title' => 'test title',

                      'body' => 'test body'

                  );

                  

                  //Encode the array into JSON.

                  $jsonDataEncoded = json_encode($jsonData);

                  

                  //Tell cURL that we want to send a POST request.

                  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);

                  

                  //Attach our encoded JSON string to the POST fields.

                  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $jsonDataEncoded);

                  

                  //Set the content type to application/json

                  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/json'));

                  

                  //Execute the request

                  $result = curl_exec($ch);

Persistent Store Endpoints

Those wishing to use the persistent store may do so. This section is a set it and forget it type deal. Set your configuration once and just trigger notifications later on demand with light-weight API calls.

All endpoints that expect posted data can be received in either JSON or in it's standard encoding. You must pass along the Content-Type as application/json in order for it to be interpreted properly.

URL Description

/add/KEY

Used to add a new Apprise configuration or a set of URLs and associates them with the specified KEY. See the Apprise Wiki if you need help constructing your URLs.

Parameter Description

urls Used to define one or more Apprise URL(s). Use a comma and/or space to separate one URL from the next.

config Provide the contents of either a YAML or TEXT based Apprise configuration.

format

This field is only required if you've specified the config option. It's purpose is to tell the server which of the supported (Apprise) configuration types you are passing. Valid options are:

yaml
text

You must specify either the urls parameter or the config.
The urls takes priority over the config if both were specified.
The format parameter is only required if the config parameter was also specified.

curl example


								    # Load a single URL and assign it to the KEY of abc123

								    curl -X POST -d '{"urls":"mailto://user:pass@gmail.com"}' \

										    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \

										    https://apprise.000105.xyz/add/abc123


						        # Load a simple TEXT config entry KEY abc123

										curl -X POST -d '{"format":"text","config":"devops=mailto://user:pass@gmail.com"}' \

										    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
