Apprise allows you to take advantage of just about every notification service available to us today. Send a notification to almost all of the most popular services out there today (such as Telegram, Slack, Twitter, etc). The ones that don't exist can be adapted and supported too!

Supported Notifications

The section identifies all of the services supported by this script.

Installation

The easiest way is to install from pypi:

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:

# 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:

import apprise

# create an Apprise instance
apobj = 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!',
)
