<h1><img src="static/img/ntfy.png" alt="ntfy"/><br/>ntfy.sh | simple HTTP-based pub-sub</h1>
<p>
<b>Ntfy</b> (pronounce: <i>notify</i>) is a simple HTTP-based <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Publish%E2%80%93subscribe_pattern">pub-sub</a> notification service.
It allows you to send notifications <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.heckel.ntfy">to your phone</a> or desktop via scripts from any computer,
entirely <b>without signup or cost</b>. It's also <a href="https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy">open source</a> if you want to run your own.
</p>
<p>
There are many ways to use ntfy. You can send yourself messages for all sorts of things: When a long process finishes or fails (a backup, a long rsync job, ...),
or to notify yourself when somebody logs into your server(s). Or you may want to use it in your own app to distribute messages to subscribed clients.
Endless possibilities 😀.
</p>
<h2>Publishing messages</h2>
<p>
Publishing messages can be done via PUT or POST using. Topics are created on the fly by subscribing or publishing to them.
Because there is no sign-up, <b>the topic is essentially a password</b>, so pick something that's not easily guessable.
</p>
<p class="smallMarginBottom">
Here's an example showing how to publish a message using <tt>curl</tt>:
</p>
<code>
curl -d "long process is done" ntfy.sh/mytopic
</code>
<p class="smallMarginBottom">
Here's an example in JS with <tt>fetch()</tt> (see <a href="https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/tree/main/examples">full example</a>):
</p>
<code>
fetch('https://ntfy.sh/mytopic', {<br/>
&nbsp;&nbsp;method: 'POST', // PUT works too<br/>
&nbsp;&nbsp;body: 'Hello from the other side.'<br/>
})
</code>
<h2>Subscribe to a topic</h2>
<p>
You can create and subscribe to a topic either in this web UI, or in your own app by subscribing to an
<a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/EventSource">EventSource</a>, a JSON feed, or raw feed.
</p>
<div id="subscribeBox">
<h3>Subscribe in this Web UI</h3>
<p id="error"></p>
<p>
Subscribe to topics here and receive messages as <b>desktop notification</b>. Topics are not password-protected,
so choose a name that's not easy to guess. Once subscribed, you can publish messages via PUT/POST.
</p>
<form id="subscribeForm">
<p>
<b>Topic:</b><br/>
<input type="text" id="topicField" autocomplete="off" placeholder="Topic name, e.g. phil_alerts" maxlength="64" pattern="[-_A-Za-z0-9]{1,64}" />
<button id="subscribeButton">Subscribe</button>
</p>
<p id="topicsHeader"><b>Subscribed topics:</b></p>
<ul id="topicsList"></ul>
</form>
<audio id="notifySound" src="static/sound/mixkit-message-pop-alert-2354.mp3"></audio>
</div>
<h3>Subscribe via Android App</h3>
<p>
You can use the <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.heckel.ntfy">Ntfy Android App</a>
to receive notifications directly on your phone. Just like the server, this app is also <a href="https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy-android">open source</a>.
</p>
<h3>Subscribe via your app, or via the CLI</h3>
<p class="smallMarginBottom">
Using <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/EventSource">EventSource</a> in JS, you can consume
notifications like this (see <a href="https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/tree/main/examples">full example</a>):
</p>
<code>
const eventSource = new EventSource('https://ntfy.sh/mytopic/sse');<br/>
eventSource.onmessage = (e) => {<br/>
&nbsp;&nbsp;// Do something with e.data<br/>
};
</code>
<p class="smallMarginBottom">
You can also use the same <tt>/sse</tt> endpoint via <tt>curl</tt> or any other HTTP library:
</p>
<code>
$ curl -s ntfy.sh/mytopic/sse<br/>
event: open<br/>
data: {"id":"weSj9RtNkj","time":1635528898,"event":"open","topic":"mytopic"}<br/><br/>
data: {"id":"p0M5y6gcCY","time":1635528909,"event":"message","topic":"mytopic","message":"Hi!"}<br/><br/>
event: keepalive<br/>
data: {"id":"VNxNIg5fpt","time":1635528928,"event":"keepalive","topic":"test"}
</code>
<p class="smallMarginBottom">
To consume JSON instead, use the <tt>/json</tt> endpoint, which prints one message per line:
</p>
<code>
$ curl -s ntfy.sh/mytopic/json<br/>
{"id":"SLiKI64DOt","time":1635528757,"event":"open","topic":"mytopic"}<br/>
{"id":"hwQ2YpKdmg","time":1635528741,"event":"message","topic":"mytopic","message":"Hi!"}<br/>
{"id":"DGUDShMCsc","time":1635528787,"event":"keepalive","topic":"mytopic"}
</code>
<p class="smallMarginBottom">
Or use the <tt>/raw</tt> endpoint if you need something super simple (empty lines are keepalive messages):
</p>
<code>
$ curl -s ntfy.sh/mytopic/raw<br/>
<br/>
This is a notification
</code>
<p class="smallMarginBottom">
Here's an example of how to use this endpoint to send desktop notifications for every incoming message:
</p>
<code>
while read msg; do<br/>
&nbsp;&nbsp;[ -n "$msg" ] && notify-send "$msg"<br/>
done < <(stdbuf -i0 -o0 curl -s ntfy.sh/mytopic/raw)
</code>
<h3>Message buffering and polling</h3>
<p class="smallMarginBottom">
Messages are buffered in memory for a few hours to account for network interruptions of subscribers.
You can read back what you missed by using the <tt>since=...</tt> query parameter. It takes either a
duration (e.g. <tt>10m</tt> or <tt>30s</tt>) or a Unix timestamp (e.g. <tt>1635528757</tt>):
</p>
<code>
$ curl -s "ntfy.sh/mytopic/json?since=10m"<br/>
# Same output as above, but includes messages from up to 10 minutes ago
</code>
<p class="smallMarginBottom">
You can also just poll for messages if you don't like the long-standing connection using the <tt>poll=1</tt>
query parameter. The connection will end after all available messages have been read. This parameter has to be
combined with <tt>since=</tt>.
</p>
<code>
$ curl -s "ntfy.sh/mytopic/json?poll=1&since=10m"<br/>
# Returns messages from up to 10 minutes ago and ends the connection
</code>
<h2>FAQ</h2>
<p>
<b>Isn't this like ...?</b><br/>
Who knows. I didn't do a lot of research before making this. It was fun making it.
</p>
<p>
<b>Can I use this in my app? Will it stay free?</b><br/>
Yes. As long as you don't abuse it, it'll be available and free of charge. I do not plan on monetizing
the service.
</p>
<p>
<b>What are the uptime guarantees?</b><br/>
Best effort.
</p>
<p>
<b>Will you know what topics exist, can you spy on me?</b><br/>
If you don't trust me or your messages are sensitive, run your own server. It's <a href="https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy">open source</a>.
That said, the logs do not contain any topic names or other details about you. Check the code if you don't believe me.
</p>
<p>
<b>Why is Firebase used?</b><br/>
In addition to caching messages locally and delivering them to long-polling subscribers, all messages are also
published to Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) (if <tt>FirebaseKeyFile</tt> is set, which it is on ntfy.sh). This
is to facilitate instant notifications on Android. I tried really, really hard to avoid using FCM, but newer
versions of Android made it impossible to implement <a href="https://developer.android.com/guide/background">background services</a>.
</p>
<h2>Privacy policy</h2>
<p>
Neither the server nor the app record any personal information, or share any of the messages and topics with
any outside service. All data is exclusively used to make the service function properly. The one exception
is the Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) service, which is required to provide instant Android notifications (see
FAQ for details).
</p>
<p>
The web server does not log or otherwise store request paths, remote IP addresses or even topics or messages,
aside from a short on-disk cache (up to a day) to support service restarts.
