A python client used to interact with the Pushcut API. See detailed description with explanations here.
With this client you can trigger any enabled notification in your Pushcut account. You can also send any custom notification. If you have an Automation Server running, you can tell the server to execute any enabled shortcut or homekit scene. If you have Automation Server Extended, you can also use this client to delay the execution of a given shortcut or homekit scene.
API Key is used as the authorisation method. Note that this is not the same as "Webhook secret".
To obtain an API key:
- In the Pushcut app, go into the "Account" tab
- Under "INTEGRATIONS" section click on "Add API Key"
- Give it a name and click "Generate"
from pushcut import Client, Notification, NotificationAction
client = Client(api_key="super_secret_api_key", default_notification_name="My First Notification")
client.devices()
[{'id': 'iPhone 11', 'name': 'iPhone 11'}, {'id': 'iPad Pro', 'name': 'iPad Pro'}]
client.notifications()
[{'id': 'My First Notification', 'title': 'Automate Away 🚀'}]
my_notification = Notification(
title="Python Client",
text="This message was sent from the Pushcut API Python Client"
)
# Add an image of a cute puppy
my_notification.image = "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/68/Szczenie_Jack_Russell_Terrier3.jpg"
# If we click on the notification, we want to open the webpage example.com
my_notification.defaultAction = NotificationAction(url="https://example.com")
# Set notification to only appear on my phone
my_notification.devices = ["iPhone 11"]
low_power_mode_on = NotificationAction(
name="âš¡ Turn ON Low Power Mode âš¡",
shortcut="Enable Low Power Mode",
keepNotification=False
)
my_notification.actions.append(low_power_mode_on)
client.send_notification(my_notification)
