|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>ntfy</b> (pronounce: <i>notify</i>) is a simple HTTP-based <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Publish%E2%80%93subscribe_pattern">pub-sub</a> notification service.
|
|
It allows you to send <b>desktop notifications via scripts from any computer</b>, entirely <b>without signup or cost</b>.
|
|
It's also <a href="https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy">open source</a> if you want to run your own.
|
|
</p>

<h2>Publishing messages</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p class="smallMarginBottom">
|
|
Here's an example showing how to publish a message using <tt>curl</tt>:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
curl -d "long process is done" ntfy.sh/mytopic
|
|
</code>
|
|
<p class="smallMarginBottom">
|
|
Here's an example in JS with <tt>fetch()</tt> (see <a href="https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/tree/main/examples">full example</a>):
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
fetch('https://ntfy.sh/mytopic', {<br/>
|
|
method: 'POST', // PUT works too<br/>
|
|
body: 'Hello from the other side.'<br/>
|
|
})
|
|
</code>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Subscribe to a topic</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
You can create and subscribe to a topic either in this web UI, or in your own app by subscribing to an
|
|
<a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/EventSource">EventSource</a>, a JSON feed, or raw feed.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Subscribe via web</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you subscribe to a topic via this web UI in the field below, messages published to any subscribed topic
|
|
will show up as <b>desktop notification</b>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<form id="subscribeForm">
|
|
<p>
|
|
<label for="topicField">Subscribe to topic:</label>
|
|
<input type="text" id="topicField" placeholder="Letters, numbers, _ and -" pattern="[-_A-Za-z]{1,64}" />
|
|
<input type="submit" id="subscribeButton" value="Subscribe" />
|
|
</p>
|
|
</form>
|
|
<p id="topicsHeader">Topics:</p>
|
|
<ul id="topicsList"></ul>
|
|
<audio id="notifySound" src="static/sound/mixkit-message-pop-alert-2354.mp3"></audio>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Subscribe via phone</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Once it's approved, you can use the <b>Ntfy Android App</b> to receive notifications directly on your phone. Just like
|
|
the server, this app is also <a href="https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy-android">open source</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Subscribe via your app, or via the CLI</h3>
|
|
<p class="smallMarginBottom">
|
|
Using <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/EventSource">EventSource</a> in JS, you can consume
|
|
notifications like this (see <a href="https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/tree/main/examples">full example</a>):
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
const eventSource = new EventSource('https://ntfy.sh/mytopic/sse');<br/>
|
|
eventSource.onmessage = (e) => {<br/>
|
|
// Do something with e.data<br/>
|
|
};
|
|
</code>
|
|
<p class="smallMarginBottom">
|
|
You can also use the same <tt>/sse</tt> endpoint via <tt>curl</tt> or any other HTTP library:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
$ curl -s ntfy.sh/mytopic/sse<br/>
|
|
event: open<br/>
|
|
data: {"id":"weSj9RtNkj","time":1635528898,"event":"open","topic":"mytopic"}<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
data: {"id":"p0M5y6gcCY","time":1635528909,"event":"message","topic":"mytopic","message":"Hi!"}<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
event: keepalive<br/>
|
|
data: {"id":"VNxNIg5fpt","time":1635528928,"event":"keepalive","topic":"test"}
|
|
</code>
|
|
<p class="smallMarginBottom">
|
|
To consume JSON instead, use the <tt>/json</tt> endpoint, which prints one message per line:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
$ curl -s ntfy.sh/mytopic/json<br/>
|
|
{"id":"SLiKI64DOt","time":1635528757,"event":"open","topic":"mytopic"}<br/>
|
|
{"id":"hwQ2YpKdmg","time":1635528741,"event":"message","topic":"mytopic","message":"Hi!"}<br/>
|
|
{"id":"DGUDShMCsc","time":1635528787,"event":"keepalive","topic":"mytopic"}
|
|
</code>
|
|
<p class="smallMarginBottom">
|
|
Or use the <tt>/raw</tt> endpoint if you need something super simple (empty lines are keepalive messages):
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
$ curl -s ntfy.sh/mytopic/raw<br/>
|
|
<br/>
|
|
This is a notification
|
|
</code>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Message buffering and polling</h3>
|
|
<p class="smallMarginBottom">
|
|
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>):
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
$ curl -s "ntfy.sh/mytopic/json?since=10m"<br/>
|
|
# Same output as above, but includes messages from up to 10 minutes ago
|
|
</code>
|
|
<p class="smallMarginBottom">
|
|
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>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
$ curl -s "ntfy.sh/mytopic/json?poll=1&since=10m"<br/>
|
|
# Returns messages from up to 10 minutes ago and ends the connection
|
|
</code>

<h2>FAQ</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>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/>
|
|
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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>What are the uptime guarantees?</b><br/>
|
|
Best effort.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<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.
|
|
</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>>.
|
|
I'm sorry.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Privacy policy</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Neither the server nor the app record any personal information, or share any of the messages and topics with
|
|
any outside service. All data is exclusively used to make the service function properly. The notable exception
|
|
is the Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) service, which is required to provide instant Android notifications (see
|
|
FAQ for details).
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The web server does not log or otherwise store request paths, remote IP addresses or even topics or messages,
|
|
aside from a short on-disk cache (up to a day) to support the <tt>since=</tt> feature and service restarts.
