Quickstart

Install using pip:

pip install pushjack

Whether using APNS or GCM, pushjack provides clients for each.

APNS

Send notifications using the APNSClient class:

from pushjack import APNSClient

client = APNSClient(certificate='<path/to/certificate.pem>',
                    default_error_timeout=10,
                    default_expiration_offset=2592000,
                    default_batch_size=100)

token = '<device token>'
alert = 'Hello world.'

# Send to single device.
# NOTE: Keyword arguments are optional.
res = client.send(token,
                  alert,
                  badge='badge count',
                  sound='sound to play',
                  category='category',
                  content_available=True,
                  title='Title',
                  title_loc_key='t_loc_key',
                  title_loc_args='t_loc_args',
                  action_loc_key='a_loc_key',
                  loc_key='loc_key',
                  launch_image='path/to/image.jpg',
                  extra={'custom': 'data'})

# Send to multiple devices by passing a list of tokens.
client.send([token], alert, **options)

Access response data.

# List of all tokens sent.
res.tokens

# List of errors as APNSServerError objects
res.errors

# Dict mapping errors as token => APNSServerError object.
res.token_errors

Override defaults for error_timeout, expiration_offset, and batch_size.

client.send(token,
            alert,
            expiration=int(time.time() + 604800),
            error_timeout=5,
            batch_size=200)

Send a low priority message.

# The default is low_priority == False
client.send(token, alert, low_priority=True)

Get expired tokens.

expired_tokens = client.get_expired_tokens()

Close APNS connection.

client.close()

For the APNS sandbox, use APNSSandboxClient instead:

from pushjack import APNSSandboxClient

GCM

Send notifications using the GCMClient class:

from pushjack import GCMClient

client = GCMClient(api_key='<api-key>')

registration_id = '<registration id>'
alert = 'Hello world.'
notification = {'title': 'Title', 'body': 'Body', 'icon': 'icon'}

# Send to single device.
# NOTE: Keyword arguments are optional.
res = client.send(registration_id,
                  alert,
                  notification=notification,
                  collapse_key='collapse_key',
                  delay_while_idle=True,
                  time_to_live=604800)

# Send to multiple devices by passing a list of ids.
client.send([registration_id], alert, **options)

Alert can also be be a dictionary with data fields.

alert = {'message': 'Hello world', 'custom_field': 'Custom Data'}

Alert can also contain the notification payload.

alert = {'message': 'Hello world', 'notification': notification}

Send a low priority message.

# The default is low_priority == False
client.send(registration_id, alert, low_priority=True)

Access response data.

# List of requests.Response objects from GCM Server.
res.responses

# List of messages sent.
res.messages

# List of registration ids sent.
res.registration_ids

# List of server response data from GCM.
res.data

# List of successful registration ids.
res.successes

# List of failed registration ids.
res.failures

# List of exceptions.
res.errors

# List of canonical ids (registration ids that have changed).
res.canonical_ids
