Using < a href = "https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/EventSource" > EventSource< / a > , you can consume
notifications like this (see < a href = "https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/tree/main/examples" > full example< / a > ):
< / p >
< code >
2021-10-25 12:54:46 +00:00
const eventSource = new EventSource('https://ntfy.sh/mytopic/sse');< br / >
2021-10-25 02:08:06 +00:00
eventSource.onmessage = (e) => {< br / >
// Do something with e.data< br / >
};
2021-10-24 18:22:53 +00:00
< / code >
2021-10-27 18:56:17 +00:00
< p class = "smallMarginBottom" >
Or you can use < tt > curl< / tt > or any other HTTP library. Here's an example for the < tt > /json< / tt > endpoint,
which prints one JSON message per line (keepalive and open messages have an "event" field):
< / p >
< code >
$ curl -s ntfy.sh/mytopic/json< br / >
{"time":1635359841,"event":"open"}< br / >
{"time":1635359844,"message":"This is a notification"}< br / >
{"time":1635359851,"event":"keepalive"}
< / code >
< p class = "smallMarginBottom" >
Using the < tt > /sse< / tt > endpoint (SSE, server-sent events stream):
< / p >
< code >
$ curl -s ntfy.sh/mytopic/sse< br / >
event: open< br / >
data: {"time":1635359796,"event":"open"}< br / > < br / >
data: {"time":1635359803,"message":"This is a notification"}< br / > < br / >
event: keepalive< br / >
data: {"time":1635359806,"event":"keepalive"}
< / code >
< p class = "smallMarginBottom" >
Using the < tt > /raw< / tt > endpoint (empty lines are keepalive messages):
< / p >
< code >
$ curl -s ntfy.sh/mytopic/raw< br / >
< br / >
This is a notification
< / code >

Here's an example in JS with < tt > fetch()< / tt > (see < a href = "https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/tree/main/examples" > full example< / a > ):

2021-10-25 12:54:46 +00:00
fetch('https://ntfy.sh/mytopic', {< br / >
2021-10-25 02:08:06 +00:00
method: 'POST', // PUT works too< br / >
2021-10-25 12:54:46 +00:00
body: 'Hello from the other side.'< br / >

< 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.
