Use PushBullets REST API

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, address, list, 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.

Callbacks

Each callback receives two arguments. For a successful request the first argument will be null or 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.
