Publishing messages can be done via PUT or POST using. Topics are created on the fly by subscribing or publishing to them.
Because there is no sign-up, <b>the topic is essentially a password</b>, so pick something that's not easily guessable.

<h3>Message buffering and polling</h3>

Messages are buffered in memory for a few hours to account for network interruptions of subscribers.
You can read back what you missed by using the <tt>since=...</tt> query parameter. It takes either a
duration (e.g. <tt>10m</tt> or <tt>30s</tt>) or a Unix timestamp (e.g. <tt>1635528757</tt>):

<code>
$ curl -s "ntfy.sh/mytopic/json?since=10m"<br/>

You can also just poll for messages if you don't like the long-standing connection using the <tt>poll=1</tt>
query parameter. The connection will end after all available messages have been read. This parameter has to be
combined with <tt>since=</tt>.

It's possible to subscribe to multiple topics in one HTTP call by providing a
comma-separated list of topics in the URL. This allows you to reduce the number of connections you have to maintain:

<b>Isn't this like ...?</b><br/>
<b id="isnt-this-like" class="anchor">Isn't this like ...?</b><br/>
Who knows. I didn't do a lot of research before making this. It was fun making it.
</p>
<p>
<b>Can I use this in my app? Will it stay free?</b><br/>
<b id="is-it-free" class="anchor">Can I use this in my app? Will it stay free?</b><br/>
Yes. As long as you don't abuse it, it'll be available and free of charge. I do not plan on monetizing
the service.

<b>What are the uptime guarantees?</b><br/>
<b id="uptime-guarantees" class="anchor">What are the uptime guarantees?</b><br/>
Best effort.

<b>Will you know what topics exist, can you spy on me?</b><br/>
If you don't trust me or your messages are sensitive, run your own server. It's <a href="https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy">open source</a>.
That said, the logs do not contain any topic names or other details about you. Check the code if you don't believe me.
<b id="multiple-subscribers" class="anchor">What happens if there are multiple subscribers to the same topic?</b><br/>
As per usual with pub-sub, all subscribers receive notifications if they are
subscribed to a topic.
</p>
<p>
<b>Why is Firebase used?</b><br/>
In addition to caching messages locally and delivering them to long-polling subscribers, all messages are also
published to Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) (if <tt>FirebaseKeyFile</tt> is set, which it is on ntfy.sh). This
is to facilitate instant notifications on Android. I tried really, really hard to avoid using FCM, but newer
versions of Android made it impossible to implement <a href="https://developer.android.com/guide/background">background services</a>.
