curl -d '{"good_food":["pizza"]}' -H 'content-type:application/json' "http://localhost:3000/user" curl -d '{"good_food":["pizza"]}' -H 'content-type:application/json' "http://dailyquoteapi.herokuapp.com/users"
this is a simple test. curl -d '{"name":"jamie"}' -H 'content-type:application/json' "http://dailyquoteapi.herokuapp.com/user"
example:
{ "received": "2015-03-18T17:21:42.571286", "user_id": 1337, "name": "Test User", "app_id": "YOUR_APP_ID", "_push": { "ios_tokens": [ "111", "222", "333", "444" ] }, "message": "I come from planet Ion" }
Using the REST API Ionic.io has an API endpoint which you can use to send push notifications from your backend server (or with a curl for testing).
You can send a push notification by making a POST to https://push.ionic.io/api/v1/push with the following headers.
Content-Type: application/json X-Ionic-Application-Id: YOUR_APP_ID The POST data should be a JSON object of the following format as well ("ios", and "android" sections of "notification" are optional customizations):
{ "tokens":[ "b284a6f7545368d2d3f753263e3e2f2b7795be5263ed7c95017f628730edeaad", "d609f7cba82fdd0a568d5ada649cddc5ebb65f08e7fc72599d8d47390bfc0f20" ], "notification":{ "alert":"Hello World!", "ios":{ "badge":1, "sound":"ping.aiff", "expiry": 1423238641, "priority": 10, "contentAvailable": true, "payload":{ "key1":"value", "key2":"value" } }, "android":{ "collapseKey":"foo", "delayWhileIdle":true, "timeToLive":300, "payload":{ "key1":"value", "key2":"value" } } } } Finally, your POST should authenticate using Basic Access Authentication with no password and your Private API key for a username. Below is an example of this using Python and urllib2:
post_data = YOUR_POST_JSON_OBJECT app_id = YOUR_APP_ID private_key = YOUR_PRIVATE_API_KEY url = "https://push.ionic.io/api/v1/push" req = urllib2.Request(url, data=post_data) req.add_header("Content-Type", "application/json") req.add_header("X-Ionic-Application-Id", app_id) b64 = base64.encodestring('%s:' % private_key).replace('\n', '') req.add_header("Authorization", "Basic %s" % b64) resp = urllib2.urlopen(req)
