Line Notifications

  • Source: https://line.me
  • Icon Support: Yes
  • Attachment Support: No
  • Message Format: Text
  • Message Limit: 5000 Characters per message

Account Setup

  1. First download Line in order to use it via Google Play or Apple.
  2. Once installed, you need to open up the software on your mobile device and access the ⚙️ icon and click on Accounts. From here you need to associate an Email address with your account if you haven't done so already. There is a validation process you must complete.

Generate a Token

In order to generate a token, you need to have associated an email address with your account so that you can log into the developer console here.

  1. Create a Provider if you haven't done so already; when prompted you want to create a Messaging API
  2. Next you'll need to create a Channel.
    • On the Basic settings tab you can acquire your BOT User ID. This is suggested to become your {user} Apprise field.
    • On the Messaging API tab you can Issue a Long Lived Channel access token. This will become your {token} Apprise field.
  3. In your Channel settings under the Message API tab:
    1. you may want to optionally turn off Greeting messages; I personally find it annoying but you may not. So this is up to you.
    2. On your mobile device, you will want to chose to add a friend and scan the QR Code under this Message API tab (near the top)

Syntax

Valid syntax is as follows:

  • line://{token}@{user}
  • line://{token}@{user1}/{user2}/{userN}

Parameter Breakdown

Variable Required Description
token Yes This is the Long Lived Access Token generated from the Line console (under the Message API section of your channel). This is a very long token that ends with an equal sign =. This token also contains numerous forward slashes in it /. Apprise is able to detect the API and distinguish it apart from the one or more users you've added. So you can safely paste the entire token as is straight into the URL.
user Yes The Line users (separated by forward slash /) that you wish to notify. This is NOT the @userid you can acquire from your mobile device. It is instead the Line User ID (which usually starts with the letter U). For example, you can acquire your Line BOT User ID from the developer console within your channel settings under the Basic settings tab (at the bottom).
image No Associate the notification status via a represented icon. You can set this value to no if you do not want this to occur.

Example

Send a line notification:

# Assuming our {token} is 4174216298
# Assuming our {user} is U1234567
apprise -vv -t "Test Message Title" -b "Test Message Body" \
   line://4174216298/U1234567
