apprise(1) -- Push Notifications that work with just about every platform!
==========================================================================
## SYNOPSIS
`apprise` [<options>...] <service-url>...<br>
## DESCRIPTION
**Apprise** allows you to send a notification to _almost all_ of the most
popular notification services available to us today such as: Discord,
Telegram, Pushbullet, Slack, Twitter, etc.
* One notification library to rule them all.
* A common and intuitive notification syntax.
* Supports the handling of images (to the notification services that will
accept them).
## OPTIONS
The Apprise options are as follows:
* `-b`, `--body=`<TEXT>:
Specify the message body. If no body is specified then content is read from
<stdin>.
* `-t`, `--title=`<TEXT>:
Specify the message title. This field is complete optional.
* `-c`, `--config=`<CONFIG-URL>:
Specify one or more configuration locations.
* `-n`, `--notification-type=`<TYPE>:
Specify the message type (default=info). Possible values are "info",
"success", "failure", and "warning".
* `-T`, `--theme=`THEME:
Specify the default theme.
* `-g`, `--tag=`TAG:
Specify one or more tags to filter which services to notify. Use multiple
**--tag** (**-g**) entries to `OR` the tags together and comma separated
to `AND` them. If no tags are specified then all services are notified.
* `-d`, `--dry-run`:
Perform a trial run but only prints the notification services to-be
triggered to **stdout**. Notifications are never sent using this mode.
* `-v`, `--verbose`:
The more of these you specify, the more verbose the output is.
* `-V`, `--version`:
Display the apprise version and exit.
* `--help`:
Show this message and exit.
## SERVICE URLS
There are to many service URL and combinations to list here. It's best to
visit the [Apprise GitHub page][serviceurls] and see what's available.

## EXAMPLES
Send a notification to as many servers as you want to specify as you can
easily chain them together:
$ apprise -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 | apprise -t 'cpu info' \
'mailto://myemail:mypass@gmail.com'
Load in a configuration file which identifies all of your notification service
URLs and notify them all:
$ apprise -t 'my title' -b 'my notification body' \
--config=~/apprise.yml
Load in a configuration file from a remote server that identifies all of your
notification service URLs and only notify the ones tagged as _devops_.
$ apprise -t 'my title' -b 'my notification body' \
--config=https://localhost/my/apprise/config \
-t devops
## BUGS
**Apprise** is written in Python with 100% test coverage; but it still makes
it far from perfect since the notification services it talks to change
all the time. If you find any bugs, please make them known at:
