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.

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/b763fc591453f78e3b815a275a0a789212c666651c5169ae7bc6c9e97b183fbf

Used to add a new Apprise configuration or a set of URLs and associates them with configuration identified with the id of b763fc591453f78e3b815a275a0a789212c666651c5169ae7bc6c9e97b183fbf. 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.

The legacy (but more compatible and light weight) way of doing things:


                        import json

                        from urllib.request import Request

                        

                        payload = {

                            'tag': 'devops',

                            'title': 'test title',

                            'body': 'test body',

                        }

                        
# The URL if the key was b763fc591453f78e3b815a275a0a789212c666651c5169ae7bc6c9e97b183fbf

                        req = Request(
