This is a python library for the wonderful PushBullet service. It allows you to send push notifications to Android and iOS devices.

In order to use the API you need an API key that can be obtained here. This is user specific and is used instead of passwords.

The easiest way is to just open your favorite terminal and type

pip install pushbullet.py

Alternatively you can clone this repo and install it with

python setup.py install

• The wonderful requests library.
• The magical python-magic library.

from pushbullet import PushBullet

pb = PushBullet(api_key)

success, push = pb.push_note("This is the title", "This is the body".)

address = " 25 E 85th St, 10028 New York, NY"
success, push = pb.push_address("home", address)

to_buy = ["milk", "bread", "cider"]
success, push = phone.push_list("Shopping list", to_buy)

success, push = phone.push_link("Cool site", "https://github.com")

Pushing files is a two part process. First you need to upload the file, and after that you can push it like you would anything else.

with open("my_cool_picture.jpg", "rb") as pic:
    success, file_data = pb.upload_file(pic, "picture.jpg")

success, push = pb.push_file(**file_data)

The advantage of this is that if you already have a file uploaded somewhere, you can use that instead of uploading again. For example:

success, push = pb.push_file(file_url="https://i.imgur.com/IAYZ20i.jpg", file_name="cat.jpg", file_type="image/jpeg")

You can also view all previous pushes:

success, pushes = pb.get_pushes()

Pushes is a list containg dictionaries that have push data. You can use this data to dismiss notifications or delete pushes.

latest = pushes[0]

# We already read it, so let's dismiss it
success, error_message = pb.dismiss_push(lates.get("iden"))

# Now delete it
success, error_message = pb.delete_push(lates.get("iden"))

So far all our pushes went to all connected devices, but there's a way to limit that.

First we need to get hold of some devices.

# Get all devices that the current user has access to.
print(pb.devices)
# [Device('Motorola Moto G'), Device('N7'), Device('Chrome')]

motog = pb.devices[0]

Now we can use the device objects like we did with pb:

success, push = motog.push_note("Hello world!", "We're using the api.")

Alternatively we can pass the device to push methods:

success, push = pb.push_note("Hello world!", "We're using the api.", device=motog)

Creating a new device is easy too, you only need to specify a name for it.

success, listener = pb.new_device("Listener")

Now you can use it like any other device.

You can change the nickname, the manufacturer and the model of the device:

success, listener = pb.edit_device(listener, make="Python", model="3.4.1")
success, motog = pb.edit_device(motog, nickname="My MotoG")

Of course, you can also delete devices, even those not added by you.

success, error_message = pb.remove_device(listener)

You can also send pushes to channels. First, create a channel on the PushBullet website (also make sure to subscribe to that channel). All channels which belong to the current user can be retrieved as follows:

# Get all channels created by the current user
print(pb.channels)
# [Channel('My Channel' 'channel_identifier')]

my_channel = pb.channels[0]

Then you can send a push to all subscribers of this channel like so:

success, push = my_channel.push_note("Hello Channel!", "Hello My Channel")

Note that you can only push to channels which have been created by the current user.

Contacts work just like devices:

# Get all contacts the user has
print(pb.contacts)
# [Contact('Peter' <[email protected]>), Contact('Sophie' <[email protected]>]

sophie = pb.contacs[1]

Now we can use the contact objects like we did with pb or with the devices.:

success, push = sophie.push_note("Hello world!", "We're using the api.")

# Or:
success, push = pb.push_note("Hello world!", "We're using the api.", contact=sophie)

success, bob = pb.new_contact("Bob", "[email protected]")

You can change the name of any contact:

success, bob = pb.edit_contact(bob, "bobby")

success, error_message = pb.remove_contact(bob)

Most methods return a tuple containing a bool value indicating success or failure, and the response from the server.

success, push = pb.push_note("Hello world!", "We're using the api.")
