Mobile Push Notifications API for PubNub Python-Asyncio SDK

PubNub's Mobile Push Gateway feature enables developers to bridge native PubNub publishing with 3rd-party push notification services including Google Android FCM (Firebase Cloud Messaging) and Apple iOS APNs (Apple Push Notification service).

By using the Mobile Push Gateway, developers can eliminate the need for developing, configuring, and maintaining additional server-side components for third-party push notification providers.

Adding Device to Channel

Requires Mobile Push Notifications add-on

This method requires that the Mobile Push Notifications add-on is enabled for your key in the Admin Portal. Read the support page on enabling add-on features on your keys.

Description

Enable mobile push notifications on provided set of channels.

Method(s)

To run Adding Device to Channel you can use the following method(s) in the Python SDK:

pubnub.add_channels_to_push().\
    push_type(PNPushType).\
    channels(List).\
    device_id(String).\
    topic(String).\
    environment(PNPushEnvironment)

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
`push_type`	PNPushType	Yes	n/a	The available push types. Accepted values: `PNPushType.GCM`, `PNPushType.FCM`, `PNPushType.APNS2`
`channels`	List	Yes	n/a	The `channels` to add the mobile push notifications to.
`device_id`	String	Yes	n/a	The device ID (token) to associate with the mobile push notifications.
`topic`	String	Required for `PNPushType.APNS2`	n/a	The topic name for the notification. For the Apple platform, this is the application's bundle identifier. Required only if `push_type` is set to `PNPushType.APNS2`.
`environment`	String	Required for `PNPushType.APNS2`	`PNPushEnvironment.DEVELOPMENT`	The environment where the device should manage the list of channels with enabled notifications. Required only if `push_type` is set to `PNPushType.APNS2`.

Basic Usage

Adding Device to Channel

# for FCM/GCM
from pubnub.enums import PNPushType

envelope = await pubnub.add_channels_to_push()\
    .push_type(PNPushType.GCM)\
    .channels(["ch1", "ch2", "ch3"])\
    .device_id("deviceId")\
    .future()

# for APNS2
from pubnub.enums import PNPushType

envelope = await pubnub.add_channels_to_push()\
    .push_type(PNPushType.APNS2)\
    .channels(["ch1", "ch2", "ch3"])\
show all 19 lines

Returns

The add_channels_to_push() does not return actionable data, be sure to check the status object on the outcome of the operation by checking the status.is_error()
