Pushover

Master

Development

This gem provides a CLI and an API interface to http://pushover.net.

Installation

To install:

	$ gem install pushover

To use inside of an application, add this to the your gemfile:

	$ gem 'pushover'

and run bundle to make it available:

	$ bundle

Usage

API:

require 'pushover'

To send with the very minimum amount of information.

Pushover.notification(message: 'message', title: 'title', user: 'USER_TOKEN', token: 'APP_TOKEN')

Optional #configuration method:

Pushover.configure do |config|
  config.user='USER_TOKEN'
  config.token='APP_TOKEN'
end

Pushover.notification(message: 'message', title: 'title')

CLI:

To get help do, try --(h)elp

	$ pushover -h

To send a message.

	$ pushover -u user_token -a app_key message is the rest of the cli.

Optional parameters

Most optional parameters have a shorter form you can use. If that's the case, they will be displayed like --(h)elp.

Config_file

The file to use for stored settings (including credentials).

	$ pushover --(c)onfig_file /tmp/config_file

Title

The title of the message, if not supplied it will end up being the app name.

	$ pushover --(t)itle "A title"

	$ pushover --(t)itle "A title"

Priority

Priority of the message, either (low,normal,high) or (-1,0,1). For the string you only need the first letter.

	$ pushover --(p)riority high

	$ pushover --(p)riority h

	$ pushover --(p)riority -1

Device

Specific device to send the message too, must be registered at pushover.net

	$ pushover --(d)evice "Device name"

URL

Supplementary URL that can be passed with the message.

	$ pushover --url "http://www.github.com/erniebrodeur/pushover"

URL Title

The display string of the supplementary URL.

	$ pushover --url "http://www.git.com/erniebrodeur/pushover" --url_title "This repo."

Time

Time is tricky, I just pass the string off to the stdlib Time.parse. Therefore, if it fails I can't do much about it. Though, it shouldn't fail, it seems to take just a ton of stuff. You can always handle this yourself and just pass in an epoch (string or fixnum).

$ pushover --time 1331249662

$ pushover --time "6:30"

String examples

As far as I can tell, you can toss a ton of different things and get an output.

Saving

You can also save and use stored information. The username/application are titles. They can be anything you want to reference them.

User

	$ pushover -u user_token --save-user email@somewhere.net

Application

	$ pushover -a app_key --save-app myApp

Delete done in the api, not lifted to the cli.

Now, you can use these to send messages instead of having to remember the key:

	$ pushover -a myApp -u email@somewhere.net Hello from somewhere!

If you don't supply the application or user name, it will use the first one in the save file.

	$ pushover so now I can just send an app.

Anytime you supply tokens directly to the cli, it will ignore any saved information and try them. This allows you to use it as a once-off tool while keeping credentials stored.
