PushBullet API

A Node.js module for using the PushBullet REST API.

Usage

This module is very simple to use. All you need is your PushBullet API key and you can begin pushing.

var PushBullet = require('pushbullet');
var pusher = new PushBullet('YOUR-API-KEY');
 
pusher.devices(function(error, response) {
    // response is the JSON response from the API
});
 
pusher.note(deviceParams, noteTitle, noteBody, function(error, response) {
    // response is the JSON response from the API
});

Target devices

The push functions (note, link, file) have a deviceParams parameter which can be several types:

• If it is a string containing an '@' it is treated as an email address.
• If it is a string not containing an '@' it is treated as a device iden.
• If it is a number it is treated as a device id.
• If it is an object it is assumed to have one of the 'target parameters' as defined on https://docs.pushbullet.com/v2/pushes/ as an attribute. It can also have an optional source_device_iden attribute. If the object is empty, {}, then the push is sent to all devices.

Callbacks

Each callback receives two arguments. For a successful request the first argument will be null or undefined and the second argument will be the parsed JSON response from the API.

If an error occurs at any part of the request the first argument will be an Error object.

Promises

Promises are supported and can be used in place of the callback method.

pusher.devices().then(function(devices) {
    // devices is the JSON response from the API
});

API

new PushBullet(apiKey, options)

Creates a new PushBullet object.

The apiKey parameter is the string API key provided by PushBullet. The options parameter is optional and has one attribute:

• fullResponses (default false): By default, only the response body is returned. Setting this to true will make the full response to be returned, useful if access to the headers are required.

PushBullet.me(callback);

Get the current user's information.

pusher.me(function(err, response) {});

PushBullet.devices([options], callback)

Retrieves a list of pushable devices.

The options parameter can use two attributes cursor andlimit to control the data returned.

• active is used to restrict the results to only active devices.
• cursor is used to select the page if the results have been paginated.
• limit is used to limit the number of objects in the reponse.

var options = {
    limit: 10
};
 
pusher.devices(options, function(error, response) {});

PushBullet.createDevice(deviceOptions, callback)
