Twisted-APNs is an implementation of provider-side client for Apple Push Notification Service, based on official iOS documentation. It uses Twisted networking engine.
- Sending notifications through gateway service
- Querying feedback service for failed remote notifications
- Python>=2.7
- Twisted (version 15.0.0 known to work)
- pyOpenSSL
You can install it easily from PyPi by single command:
pip install twisted-apns
or clone source code and run:
python setup.py install
First, do the necessary imports and set up logging for debug purposes:
import logging
from apns.gatewayclient import GatewayClientFactory
from apns.notification import Notification
from twisted.internet import reactor
logger = logging.getLogger()
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
logger.addHandler(logging.StreamHandler())Then create an instance of gateway client factory, specifying intended endpoint (pub for production or dev for development purposes), and setting a path to your provider certificate:
# Make sure /apn-dev.pem exists or pass valid path.
factory = GatewayClientFactory('dev', '/apn-dev.pem')
reactor.connectSSL(factory.hostname,
factory.port,
factory,
factory.certificate.options())The code below sends a sample notification with JSON-encoded payload to device identified with supplied token (in hex):
def send():
token = '00' # Set to something valid.
payload = {'aps': {'alert': "What's up?",
'sound': 'default',
'badge': 3}}
notification = Notification(token=token,
expire=Notification.EXPIRE_IMMEDIATELY,
payload=payload)
factory.send(notification)
reactor.callLater(1, send)
reactor.run()If token is valid console outputs:
Gateway connection made: gateway.push.apple.com:2195
Gateway send notification
If not (like 00) error is returned:
Gateway connection made: gateway.sandbox.push.apple.com:2195
Gateway send notification
Gateway error received: <ErrorResponse: Invalid token size>
Gateway connection lost: Connection was closed cleanly.
Gateway connection made: gateway.sandbox.push.apple.com:2195
The following code connects to the feedback service and prints tokens which should not be used anymore:
import logging
from apns.feedbackclient import FeedbackClientFactory
from apns.feedback import Feedback
from twisted.internet import reactor
logger = logging.getLogger()
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
logger.addHandler(logging.StreamHandler())
# Make sure /apn-dev.pem exists or pass valid path.
factory = FeedbackClientFactory('dev', '/apn-dev.pem')
reactor.connectSSL(factory.hostname,
factory.port,
factory,
factory.certificate.options())
def onFeedbacks(feedbacks):
for f in feedbacks:
print "It would be better to stop sending notifications to", f.token
factory.listen(FeedbackClientFactory.EVENT_FEEDBACKS_RECEIVED, onFeedbacks)
reactor.run()You are highly encouraged to participate in the development, simply use GitHub's fork/pull request system.
