apnsend

A command line tool for sending push notifications using Apple's Push Notification System (APNs).

Example Usage

Send a push notification with an alert message using the production gateway

$ apnsend -pem cert.pem -alert "Hello World" -device-token "beefca5e"

Send a push notification with an alert message using the sandbox gateway

$ apnsend -sandbox -pem cert.pem -alert "Hello World" -device-token "beefca5e"

Send a push notification to trigger a background download of content

$ apnsend -pem cert.pem -content-available 1 -device-token "beefca5e"

Send a push notification to update the app icon badge

$ apnsend -pem cert.pem -badge 6 -device-token "beefca5e"

Send a push notification with a custom payload. The -payload argument will cause other payload-related arguments to be ignored (such as -alert, -badge etc...).

$ apnsend -pem cert.pem -device-token "beedca5e" -payload '{"foo":"bar"}'
