Magpie - API Alerts

This is a wrapper for the API Alerts service written in JavaScript.

View the API Alerts service at https://apialerts.com. API Alerts is a service that allows you to send simple alerts (push notifications) to your phone or other devices using a simple API.

Installation

You will need to download the Magpie/API Alerts app (created by API Alerts) to use the service. Once you have your API keys from there you can proceed!

Download for IOS: App Store
Download for Android: Play Store

After getting your account setup, install the package using npm.

npm i apialerts-js

We recommend you set the following environment variable. The module will use this to authenticate with the API Alerts service without you having to pass it in every time.

APIALERTS_API_KEY=your_api_key 

Standard Usage

Send a simple message only notification to your devices

import alerts from 'apialerts-js';

alerts.send({ message: 'Hello World' })

Advanced Usage

Specify a different project in a single request

import alerts from 'apialerts-js';

// Pass in the API key as a parameter (Optional)
alerts.send({ message: 'Hello World', api_key: 'your_api_key' })

// Or, set the API key using the setApiKey method before sending the alert
alerts.setApiKey('your_api_key')
alerts.send({ message: 'Hello World' })

Optional Properties

You can optionally supply a list of tags and a link to your simple notification.

let notification = {
  message: 'Hello World',
  tags: ['tag1', 'tag2'],
  link: 'https://apialerts.com',
  api_key: 'your_api_key'
}
alerts.send(notification)

By adding a 'link' property, the app will navigate you to that link when you click on the notification.
