## Installation
The easiest way is to install from pypi:
```bash
pip install apprise
```
## Command Line
A small command line tool is also provided with this package called *notify*. If you know the server url's you wish to notify, you can simply provide them all on the command line and send your notifications that way:
```bash
# Send a notification to as many servers as you want to specify
notify -t 'my title' -b 'my notification body' \
   'mailto://myemail:mypass@gmail.com' \
   'pbul://o.gn5kj6nfhv736I7jC3cj3QLRiyhgl98b'

# If you don't specify a --body (-b) then stdin is used allowing
# you to use the tool as part of your every day administration:
cat /proc/cpuinfo | notify -t 'cpu info' \
      'mailto://myemail:mypass@gmail.com'
```

## Developers
To send a notification from within your python application, just do the following:
```python
import apprise

# create an Apprise instance
apobj = apprise.Apprise()

# Add all of the notification services by their server url.
# A sample email notification
apobj.add('mailto://myemail:mypass@gmail.com')

# A sample pushbullet notification
apobj.add('pbul://o.gn5kj6nfhv736I7jC3cj3QLRiyhgl98b')

# Then notify these services any time you desire. The below would
# notify all of the services loaded into our Apprise object.
apobj.notify(
    title='my notification title',
    body='what a great notification service!',
)
```
