# Publishing
|
|
Publishing messages can be done via HTTP PUT/POST or via the [ntfy CLI](install.md). Topics are created on the fly by
|
|
subscribing or publishing to them. Because there is no sign-up, **the topic is essentially a password**, so pick
|
|
something that's not easily guessable.
|
|
|
|
Here's an example showing how to publish a simple message using a POST request:
|
|
|
|
=== "Command line (curl)"
|
|
```
|
|
curl -d "Backup successful 😀" ntfy.sh/mytopic
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
=== "ntfy CLI"
|
|
```
|
|
ntfy publish mytopic "Backup successful 😀"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
=== "HTTP"
|
|
``` http
|
|
POST /mytopic HTTP/1.1
|
|
Host: ntfy.sh
|
|
|
|
Backup successful 😀
|
|
```
|
|
=== "JavaScript"
|
|
``` javascript
|
|
fetch('https://ntfy.sh/mytopic', {
|
|
method: 'POST', // PUT works too
|
|
body: 'Backup successful 😀'
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
=== "Go"
|
|
``` go
|
|
http.Post("https://ntfy.sh/mytopic", "text/plain",
|
|
strings.NewReader("Backup successful 😀"))
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
=== "Python"
|
|
``` python
|
|
requests.post("https://ntfy.sh/mytopic",
|
|
data="Backup successful 😀".encode(encoding='utf-8'))
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
=== "PHP"
|
|
``` php-inline
|
|
file_get_contents('https://ntfy.sh/mytopic', false, stream_context_create([
|
|
'http' => [
|
|
'method' => 'POST', // PUT also works
|
|
'header' => 'Content-Type: text/plain',
|
|
'content' => 'Backup successful 😀'
|
|
]
|
|
]));
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you have the [Android app](subscribe/phone.md) installed on your phone, this will create a notification that looks like this:
|
|
|
|
<figure markdown>
|
|
![basic notification](static/img/android-screenshot-basic-notification.png){ width=500 }
|
|
<figcaption>Android notification</figcaption>
|
|
</figure>
|
|
|
|
There are more features related to publishing messages: You can set a [notification priority](#message-priority),
|
|
a [title](#message-title), and [tag messages](#tags-emojis) 🥳 🎉. Here's an example that uses some of them at together:
|
|
|
|
=== "Command line (curl)"
|
|
```
|
|
curl \
|
|
-H "Title: Unauthorized access detected" \
|
|
-H "Priority: urgent" \
|
|
-H "Tags: warning,skull" \
|
|
-d "Remote access to phils-laptop detected. Act right away." \
|
|
ntfy.sh/phil_alerts
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
=== "ntfy CLI"
|
|
```
|
|
ntfy publish \
|
|
--title "Unauthorized access detected" \
|
|
--tags warning,skull \
|
|
--priority urgent \
|
|
mytopic \
|
|
"Remote access to phils-laptop detected. Act right away."
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

## Message title
|
|
The notification title is typically set to the topic short URL (e.g. `ntfy.sh/mytopic`). To override the title,
|
|
you can set the `X-Title` header (or any of its aliases: `Title`, `ti`, or `t`).
|
|
|
|
=== "Command line (curl)"
|
|
```
|
|
curl -H "X-Title: Dogs are better than cats" -d "Oh my ..." ntfy.sh/controversial
|
|
curl -H "Title: Dogs are better than cats" -d "Oh my ..." ntfy.sh/controversial
|
|
curl -H "t: Dogs are better than cats" -d "Oh my ..." ntfy.sh/controversial
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
=== "ntfy CLI"
|
|
```
|
|
ntfy publish \
|
|
-t "Dogs are better than cats" \
|
|
controversial "Oh my ..."
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
=== "HTTP"
|
|
``` http
|
|
POST /controversial HTTP/1.1
|
|
Host: ntfy.sh
|
|
Title: Dogs are better than cats
|
|
|
|

|
|
```
|
|
|
|
=== "JavaScript"
|
|
``` javascript
|
|
fetch('https://ntfy.sh/controversial', {
|
|

|
|

|
|

|

## Message priority
|
|
All messages have a priority, which defines how urgently your phone notifies you. You can set custom
|
|
notification sounds and vibration patterns on your phone to map to these priorities (see [Android config](subscribe/phone.md)).
|
|
|
|
The following priorities exist:
|
|
|
|
| Priority | Icon | ID | Name | Description |
|
|
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
|
| Max priority | ![min priority](static/img/priority-5.svg) | `5` | `max`/`urgent` | Really long vibration bursts, default notification sound with a pop-over notification. |
|
|
| High priority | ![min priority](static/img/priority-4.svg) | `4` | `high` | Long vibration burst, default notification sound with a pop-over notification. |
|
|
| **Default priority** | *(none)* | `3` | `default` | Short default vibration and sound. Default notification behavior. |
|
|
| Low priority | ![min priority](static/img/priority-2.svg) |`2` | `low` | No vibration or sound. Notification will not visibly show up until notification drawer is pulled down. |
|
|
| Min priority | ![min priority](static/img/priority-1.svg) | `1` | `min` | No vibration or sound. The notification will be under the fold in "Other notifications". |
|
|
|
|
You can set the priority with the header `X-Priority` (or any of its aliases: `Priority`, `prio`, or `p`).
|
|
|
|
=== "Command line (curl)"
|
|
```
|
|
curl -H "X-Priority: 5" -d "An urgent message" ntfy.sh/phil_alerts
|
|
curl -H "Priority: low" -d "Low priority message" ntfy.sh/phil_alerts
|
|
curl -H p:4 -d "A high priority message" ntfy.sh/phil_alerts
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
=== "ntfy CLI"
|
|
```
|
|
ntfy publish \
|
|
-p 5 \
|
|
phil_alerts An urgent message
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
``` http
|
|

|
|

|
|

|
|
|
|

## Tags & emojis 🥳 🎉
|
|
You can tag messages with emojis and other relevant strings:
|
|
|
|
* **Emojis**: If a tag matches an [emoji short code](emojis.md), it'll be converted to an emoji and prepended
|
|
to title or message.
|
|
* **Other tags:** If a tag doesn't match, it will be listed below the notification.
|
|
|
|
This feature is useful for things like warnings (⚠️, ️🚨, or 🚩), but also to simply tag messages otherwise (e.g. script
|
|
names, hostnames, etc.). Use [the emoji short code list](emojis.md) to figure out what tags can be converted to emojis.
|
|
Here's an **excerpt of emojis** I've found very useful in alert messages:
|
|
|
|
<table class="remove-md-box"><tr>
|
|
<td>
|
|
<table><thead><tr><th>Tag</th><th>Emoji</th></tr></thead><tbody>
|

|
|
<tr><td>...</td><td>...</td></tr>
|
|
</tbody></table>
|
|
</td>
|
|
</tr></table>
|
|
|
|
You can set tags with the `X-Tags` header (or any of its aliases: `Tags`, `tag`, or `ta`). Specify multiple tags by separating
|
|
them with a comma, e.g. `tag1,tag2,tag3`.
|
|
|
|
=== "Command line (curl)"
|
|
```
|
|
curl -H "X-Tags: warning,mailsrv13,daily-backup" -d "Backup of mailsrv13 failed" ntfy.sh/backups
|
|
curl -H "Tags: horse,unicorn" -d "Unicorns are just horses with unique horns" ntfy.sh/backups
|
|
curl -H ta:dog -d "Dogs are awesome" ntfy.sh/backups
|

## Scheduled delivery
|
|
You can delay the delivery of messages and let ntfy send them at a later date. This can be used to send yourself
|
|
reminders or even to execute commands at a later date (if your subscriber acts on messages).
|
|
|
|
Usage is pretty straight forward. You can set the delivery time using the `X-Delay` header (or any of its aliases: `Delay`,
|
|
`X-At`, `At`, `X-In` or `In`), either by specifying a Unix timestamp (e.g. `1639194738`), a duration (e.g. `30m`,
|
|
`3h`, `2 days`), or a natural language time string (e.g. `10am`, `8:30pm`, `tomorrow, 3pm`, `Tuesday, 7am`,
|
|
[and more](https://github.com/olebedev/when)).
|
|
|
|
As of today, the minimum delay you can set is **10 seconds** and the maximum delay is **3 days**. This can currently
|
|
not be configured otherwise ([let me know](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/issues) if you'd like to change
|
|
these limits).
|
|
|
|
For the purposes of [message caching](config.md#message-cache), scheduled messages are kept in the cache until 12 hours
|
|
after they were delivered (or whatever the server-side cache duration is set to). For instance, if a message is scheduled
|
|
to be delivered in 3 days, it'll remain in the cache for 3 days and 12 hours. Also note that naturally,
|
|
[turning off server-side caching](#message-caching) is not possible in combination with this feature.
|

|
In addition to using PUT/POST, you can also send to topics via simple HTTP GET requests. This makes it easy to use
|
|
a ntfy topic as a [webhook](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webhook), or if your client has limited HTTP support (e.g.
|
|
like the [MacroDroid](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.arlosoft.macrodroid) Android app).
|
|
|
|
To send messages via HTTP GET, simply call the `/publish` endpoint (or its aliases `/send` and `/trigger`). Without
|
|
any arguments, this will send the message `triggered` to the topic. However, you can provide all arguments that are
|
|
also supported as HTTP headers as URL-encoded arguments. Be sure to check the list of all
|
|
[supported parameters and headers](#list-of-all-parameters) for details.
|
|
|
|
For instance, assuming your topic is `mywebhook`, you can simply call `/mywebhook/trigger` to send a message
|
|
(aka trigger the webhook):
|
|
|
|
=== "Command line (curl)"
|
|
```
|
|
curl ntfy.sh/mywebhook/trigger
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
=== "ntfy CLI"
|
|
```
|
|
ntfy trigger mywebhook
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
=== "HTTP"
|
|
``` http
|
|
GET /mywebhook/trigger HTTP/1.1
|
|
Host: ntfy.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
=== "JavaScript"
|
|
``` javascript
|
|
fetch('https://ntfy.sh/mywebhook/trigger')
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
=== "Go"
|
|
``` go
|
|
http.Get("https://ntfy.sh/mywebhook/trigger")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
=== "Python"
|
|
``` python
|
|
requests.get("https://ntfy.sh/mywebhook/trigger")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
=== "PHP"
|
|
``` php-inline
|
|
file_get_contents('https://ntfy.sh/mywebhook/trigger');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To add a custom message, simply append the `message=` URL parameter. And of course you can set the
|
|
[message priority](#message-priority), the [message title](#message-title), and [tags](#tags-emojis) as well.
|
|
For a full list of possible parameters, check the list of [supported parameters and headers](#list-of-all-parameters).
|
|
|
|
Here's an example with a custom message, tags and a priority:
|
|
|
|
=== "Command line (curl)"
|
|
```
|
|
curl "ntfy.sh/mywebhook/publish?message=Webhook+triggered&priority=high&tags=warning,skull"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
=== "ntfy CLI"
|
|
```
|
|
ntfy publish \
|
|
-p 5 --tags=warning,skull \
|
|
mywebhook "Webhook triggered"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
=== "HTTP"
|
|
``` http
|
|
GET /mywebhook/publish?message=Webhook+triggered&priority=high&tags=warning,skull HTTP/1.1
|
|
Host: ntfy.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
=== "JavaScript"
|
|
``` javascript
|
|
fetch('https://ntfy.sh/mywebhook/publish?message=Webhook+triggered&priority=high&tags=warning,skull')
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
=== "Go"
|
|
``` go
|
|
http.Get("https://ntfy.sh/mywebhook/publish?message=Webhook+triggered&priority=high&tags=warning,skull")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
=== "Python"
|
|
``` python
|
|
requests.get("https://ntfy.sh/mywebhook/publish?message=Webhook+triggered&priority=high&tags=warning,skull")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
=== "PHP"
|
|
``` php-inline
|
|
file_get_contents('https://ntfy.sh/mywebhook/publish?message=Webhook+triggered&priority=high&tags=warning,skull');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Click action
|
|
You can define which URL to open when a notification is clicked. This may be useful if your notification is related
|
|
to a Zabbix alert or a transaction that you'd like to provide the deep-link for. Tapping the notification will open
|
|
the web browser (or the app) and open the website.
|
|
|
|
Here's an example that will open Reddit when the notification is clicked:
|
|
|
|
=== "Command line (curl)"
|
|
```
|
|
curl \
|
|
-d "New messages on Reddit" \
|
|
-H "Click: https://www.reddit.com/message/messages" \
|
|
ntfy.sh/reddit_alerts
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
=== "ntfy CLI"
|
|
```
|
|
ntfy publish \
|
|
--click="https://www.reddit.com/message/messages" \
|
|
reddit_alerts "New messages on Reddit"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
=== "HTTP"
|
|
``` http
|
|
POST /reddit_alerts HTTP/1.1
|
|
Host: ntfy.sh
|
|
Click: https://www.reddit.com/message/messages
|
|
|
|
New messages on Reddit
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
=== "JavaScript"
|
|
``` javascript
|
|
fetch('https://ntfy.sh/reddit_alerts', {
|
|
method: 'POST',
|
|
body: 'New messages on Reddit',
|
|
headers: { 'Click': 'https://www.reddit.com/message/messages' }
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
=== "Go"
|
|
``` go
|
|
req, _ := http.NewRequest("POST", "https://ntfy.sh/reddit_alerts", strings.NewReader("New messages on Reddit"))
|
|
req.Header.Set("Click", "https://www.reddit.com/message/messages")
|
|
http.DefaultClient.Do(req)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
=== "Python"
|
|
``` python
|
|
requests.post("https://ntfy.sh/reddit_alerts",
|
|
data="New messages on Reddit",
|
|
headers={ "Click": "https://www.reddit.com/message/messages" })
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
=== "PHP"
|
|
``` php-inline
|
|
file_get_contents('https://ntfy.sh/reddit_alerts', false, stream_context_create([
|
|
'http' => [
|
|
'method' => 'POST',
|
|
'header' =>
|
|
"Content-Type: text/plain\r\n" .
|
|
"Click: https://www.reddit.com/message/messages",
|
|
'content' => 'New messages on Reddit'
|
|
]
|
|
]));
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Attachments
|
|
You can **send images and other files to your phone** as attachments to a notification. The attachments are then downloaded
|
|
onto your phone (depending on size and setting automatically), and can be used from the Downloads folder.
|
|
|
|
There are two different ways to send attachments:
|
|
|
|
* sending [a local file](#attach-local-file) via PUT, e.g. from `~/Flowers/flower.jpg` or `ringtone.mp3`
|
|
* or by [passing an external URL](#attach-file-from-a-url) as an attachment, e.g. `https://f-droid.org/F-Droid.apk`
|
|
|
|
### Attach local file
|
|
To **send a file from your computer** as an attachment, you can send it as the PUT request body. If a message is greater
|
|
than the maximum message size (4,096 bytes) or consists of non UTF-8 characters, the ntfy server will automatically
|
|
detect the mime type and size, and send the message as an attachment file. To send smaller text-only messages or files
|
|
as attachments, you must pass a filename by passing the `X-Filename` header or query parameter (or any of its aliases
|
|
`Filename`, `File` or `f`).
|
|
|
|
By default, and how ntfy.sh is configured, the **max attachment size is 15 MB** (with 100 MB total per visitor).
|
|
Attachments **expire after 3 hours**, which typically is plenty of time for the user to download it, or for the Android app
|
|
to auto-download it. Please also check out the [other limits below](#limitations).
|
|
|
|
Here's an example showing how to upload an image:
|
|
|
|
=== "Command line (curl)"
|
|
```
|
|
curl \
|
|
-T flower.jpg \
|
|
-H "Filename: flower.jpg" \
|
|
ntfy.sh/flowers
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
=== "ntfy CLI"
|
|
```
|
|
ntfy publish \
|
|
--file=flower.jpg \
|
|
flowers
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
=== "HTTP"
|
|
``` http
|
|
PUT /flowers HTTP/1.1
|
|
Host: ntfy.sh
|
|
Filename: flower.jpg
|
|
Content-Type: 52312
|
|
|
|
<binary JPEG data>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
=== "JavaScript"
|
|
``` javascript
|
|
fetch('https://ntfy.sh/flowers', {
|
|
method: 'PUT',
|
|
body: document.getElementById("file").files[0],
|
|
headers: { 'Filename': 'flower.jpg' }
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
=== "Go"
|
|
``` go
|
|
file, _ := os.Open("flower.jpg")
|
|
req, _ := http.NewRequest("PUT", "https://ntfy.sh/flowers", file)
|
|
req.Header.Set("Filename", "flower.jpg")
|
|
http.DefaultClient.Do(req)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
=== "Python"
|
|
``` python
|
|
requests.put("https://ntfy.sh/flowers",
|
|
data=open("flower.jpg", 'rb'),
|
|
headers={ "Filename": "flower.jpg" })
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
=== "PHP"
|
|
``` php-inline
|
|
file_get_contents('https://ntfy.sh/flowers', false, stream_context_create([
|
|
'http' => [
|
|
'method' => 'PUT',
|
|
'header' =>
|
|
"Content-Type: application/octet-stream\r\n" . // Does not matter
|
|
"Filename: flower.jpg",
|
|
'content' => file_get_contents('flower.jpg') // Dangerous for large files
|
|
]
|
|
]));
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Here's what that looks like on Android:
|
|
|
|
<figure markdown>
|
|
![image attachment](static/img/android-screenshot-attachment-image.png){ width=500 }
|
|
<figcaption>Image attachment sent from a local file</figcaption>
|
|
</figure>
|
|
|
|
### Attach file from a URL
|
|
Instead of sending a local file to your phone, you can use **an external URL** to specify where the attachment is hosted.
|
|
This could be a Dropbox link, a file from social media, or any other publicly available URL. Since the files are
|
|
externally hosted, the expiration or size limits from above do not apply here.
|
|
|
|
To attach an external file, simple pass the `X-Attach` header or query parameter (or any of its aliases `Attach` or `a`)
|
|
to specify the attachment URL. It can be any type of file. Here's an example showing how to upload an image:
|
|
|
|
=== "Command line (curl)"
|
|
```
|
|
curl \
|
|
-X POST \
|
|
-H "Attach: https://f-droid.org/F-Droid.apk" \
|
|
ntfy.sh/mydownloads
|

## E-mail notifications
|
|
You can forward messages to e-mail by specifying an address in the header. This can be useful for messages that
|
|
you'd like to persist longer, or to blast-notify yourself on all possible channels.
|
|
|
|
Usage is easy: Simply pass the `X-Email` header (or any of its aliases: `X-E-mail`, `Email`, `E-mail`, `Mail`, or `e`).
|
|
Only one e-mail address is supported.
|
|
|
|
Since ntfy does not provide auth (yet), the rate limiting is pretty strict (see [limitations](#limitations)). In the
|
|
default configuration, you get **16 e-mails per visitor** (IP address) and then after that one per hour. On top of
|
|
that, your IP address appears in the e-mail body. This is to prevent abuse.
|
|
|
|
=== "Command line (curl)"
|
|
```
|
|
curl \
|
|
-H "Email: phil@example.com" \
|
|

## E-mail publishing
|
|
You can publish messages to a topic via e-mail, i.e. by sending an email to a specific address. For instance, you can
|
|
publish a message to the topic `sometopic` by sending an e-mail to `ntfy-sometopic@ntfy.sh`. This is useful for e-mail
|
|
based integrations such as for statuspage.io (though these days most services also support webhooks and HTTP calls).
|
|
|
|
Depending on the [server configuration](config.md#e-mail-publishing), the e-mail address format can have a prefix to
|
|
prevent spam on topics. For ntfy.sh, the prefix is configured to `ntfy-`, meaning that the general e-mail address
|
|
format is:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
ntfy-$topic@ntfy.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
As of today, e-mail publishing only supports adding a [message title](#message-title) (the e-mail subject). Tags, priority,
|
|
delay and other features are not supported (yet). Here's an example that will publish a message with the
|
|
title `You've Got Mail` to topic `sometopic` (see [ntfy.sh/sometopic](https://ntfy.sh/sometopic)):

## Advanced features
|
|
|
|
### Authentication
|
|
Depending on whether the server is configured to support [access control](config.md#access-control), some topics
|
|
may be read/write protected so that only users with the correct credentials can subscribe or publish to them.
|
|
To publish/subscribe to protected topics, you can use [Basic Auth](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication)
|
|
with a valid username/password. For your self-hosted server, **be sure to use HTTPS to avoid eavesdropping** and exposing
|
|
your password.
|
|
|
|
Here's a simple example:
|
|
|
|
=== "Command line (curl)"
|
|
```
|
|
curl \
|
|
-u phil:mypass \
|
|
-d "Look ma, with auth" \
|
|
https://ntfy.example.com/mysecrets
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
=== "ntfy CLI"
|
|
```
|
|
ntfy publish \
|
|
-u phil:mypass \
|
|
ntfy.example.com/mysecrets \
|
|
"Look ma, with auth"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
=== "HTTP"
|
|
``` http
|
|
POST /mysecrets HTTP/1.1
|
|
Host: ntfy.example.com
|
|
Authorization: Basic cGhpbDpteXBhc3M=

|
|

|
|
```
|
|
|
|
=== "JavaScript"
|

|
body: 'Look ma, with auth',
|
|
headers: {
|
|
'Authorization': 'Basic cGhpbDpteXBhc3M='
|
|
}
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
=== "Go"
|
|
``` go
|
|
req, _ := http.NewRequest("POST", "https://ntfy.example.com/mysecrets",
|
|
strings.NewReader("Look ma, with auth"))
|
|
req.Header.Set("Authorization", "Basic cGhpbDpteXBhc3M=")
|
|
http.DefaultClient.Do(req)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
=== "Python"
|
|
``` python
|
|
requests.post("https://ntfy.example.com/mysecrets",
|
|
data="Look ma, with auth",
|
|
headers={
|
|
"Authorization": "Basic cGhpbDpteXBhc3M="
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
=== "PHP"
|
|
``` php-inline
|
|
file_get_contents('https://ntfy.example.com/mysecrets', false, stream_context_create([
|
|
'http' => [
|
|
'method' => 'POST', // PUT also works
|
|
'header' =>
|
|
'Content-Type: text/plain\r\n' .
|
|
'Authorization: Basic cGhpbDpteXBhc3M=',
|
|
'content' => 'Look ma, with auth'
|
|
]
|
|
]));
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Message caching
|
|
!!! info
|
|
If `Cache: no` is used, messages will only be delivered to connected subscribers, and won't be re-delivered if a
|
|
client re-connects. If a subscriber has (temporary) network issues or is reconnecting momentarily,
|
|
**messages might be missed**.
|
|
|
|
By default, the ntfy server caches messages on disk for 12 hours (see [message caching](config.md#message-cache)), so
|
|
all messages you publish are stored server-side for a little while. The reason for this is to overcome temporary
|
|
client-side network disruptions, but arguably this feature also may raise privacy concerns.
|
|
|
|
To avoid messages being cached server-side entirely, you can set `X-Cache` header (or its alias: `Cache`) to `no`.
|
|
This will make sure that your message is not cached on the server, even if server-side caching is enabled. Messages
|
|
are still delivered to connected subscribers, but [`since=`](subscribe/api.md#fetch-cached-messages) and
|
|
[`poll=1`](subscribe/api.md#poll-for-messages) won't return the message anymore.

### Disable Firebase
|
|
!!! info
|
|
If `Firebase: no` is used and [instant delivery](subscribe/phone.md#instant-delivery) isn't enabled in the Android
|
|
app (Google Play variant only), **message delivery will be significantly delayed (up to 15 minutes)**. To overcome
|
|
this delay, simply enable instant delivery.
|
|
|
|
The ntfy server can be configured to use [Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM)](https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging)
|
|
(see [Firebase config](config.md#firebase-fcm)) for message delivery on Android (to minimize the app's battery footprint).
|
|
The ntfy.sh server is configured this way, meaning that all messages published to ntfy.sh are also published to corresponding
|
|
FCM topics.
|
|
|
|
If you'd like to avoid forwarding messages to Firebase, you can set the `X-Firebase` header (or its alias: `Firebase`)
|
|
to `no`. This will instruct the server not to forward messages to Firebase.
|
|
|
|
=== "Command line (curl)"
|
|
```
|
|
curl -H "X-Firebase: no" -d "This message won't be forwarded to FCM" ntfy.sh/mytopic
|
|
curl -H "Firebase: no" -d "This message won't be forwarded to FCM" ntfy.sh/mytopic
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
=== "ntfy CLI"
|
|
```

|

### UnifiedPush
|
|
!!! info
|
|
This setting is not relevant to users, only to app developers and people interested in [UnifiedPush](https://unifiedpush.org).
|
|
|
|
[UnifiedPush](https://unifiedpush.org) is a standard for receiving push notifications without using the Google-owned
|
|
[Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM)](https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging) service. It puts push notifications
|
|
in the control of the user. ntfy can act as a **UnifiedPush distributor**, forwarding messages to apps that support it.
|
|
|
|
When publishing messages to a topic, apps using ntfy as a UnifiedPush distributor can set the `X-UnifiedPush` header or query
|
|
parameter (or any of its aliases `unifiedpush` or `up`) to `1` to [disable Firebase](#disable-firebase). As of today, this
|
|
option is mostly equivalent to `Firebase: no`, but was introduced to allow future flexibility. The flag additionally
|
|
enables auto-detection of the message encoding. If the message is binary, it'll be encoded as base64.
|
|
|
|
## Limitations
|
|
There are a few limitations to the API to prevent abuse and to keep the server healthy. Almost all of these settings
|
|
are configurable via the server side [rate limiting settings](config.md#rate-limiting). Most of these limits you won't run into,
|
|
but just in case, let's list them all:
|
|
|
|
| Limit | Description |
|
|
|----------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| **Message length** | Each message can be up to 4,096 bytes long. Longer messages are treated as [attachments](#attachments). |
|
|
| **Requests** | By default, the server is configured to allow 60 requests per visitor at once, and then refills the your allowed requests bucket at a rate of one request per 10 seconds. |
|
|
| **E-mails** | By default, the server is configured to allow sending 16 e-mails per visitor at once, and then refills the your allowed e-mail bucket at a rate of one per hour. |
|
|
| **Subscription limit** | By default, the server allows each visitor to keep 30 connections to the server open. |
|
|
| **Attachment size limit** | By default, the server allows attachments up to 15 MB in size, up to 100 MB in total per visitor and up to 5 GB across all visitors. |
|
|
| **Attachment expiry** | By default, the server deletes attachments after 3 hours and thereby frees up space from the total visitor attachment limit. |
|
|
| **Attachment bandwidth** | By default, the server allows 500 MB of GET/PUT/POST traffic for attachments per visitor in a 24 hour period. Traffic exceeding that is rejected. |
|
|
| **Total number of topics** | By default, the server is configured to allow 15,000 topics. The ntfy.sh server has higher limits though. |
|
|
|
|
