Push messages

As already indicated in Intro you need an application to push messages to gotify/server. Only the user who created the application is able to see its messages. An application can be added via

• WebUI: click the apps-tab in the upper right corner when logged in and add an application
• REST-API: curl -u admin:admin https://yourdomain.com/application -F "name=test" -F "description=tutorial" See API-Docs

To authenticate as an application you need the application token. The token is returned in the REST request and is viewable in the WebUI.

Now you can simply use curl, HTTPie or any other http-client to push messages.

$ curl "https://push.example.de/message?token=<apptoken>" -F "title=my title" -F "message=my message" -F "priority=5"
$ http -f POST "https://push.example.de/message?token=<apptoken>" title="my title" message="my message" priority="5"

The message API takes an extras property that carries extra information with the message and describes how clients behave to this message. See message extras for more information.

As of gotify/server v1.2.0 only the message parameter is required.

Here are more examples for pushing messages in different languages.

Also you can use gotify/cli to push messages. The CLI stores url and token in a config file.

$ gotify push -t "my title" -p 10 "my message"
$ echo my message | gotify push
