/createMessage Throttling
Keep in mind that non-enterprise accounts cannot send more than 600 /createMessage and/or /createTargetedMessage requests per minute.
However, if you send pushes via the devices parameter to 10 devices or less, there are no restrictions for any account type as long as the debug mode is disabled.
Note that we always save scheduled pushes to the Message History, even if you are sending them to less than 10 devices via devices parameter. Therefore, such pushes are also throttled.
Response: 
HTTP Status code
status_code
Description
200
200
Message successfully created
200
210
Argument error. See status_message for more info
400
N/A
Malformed request string
500
500
Internal error
An error in an array of notifications
If the createMessage request has several messages in the notifications array, they will be processed and sent one by one. If one of the messages cannot be parsed, our API will return "status_code":210 with the codes of successfully sent messages, i.e. those preceding the faulty message in the request.
Debug Mode
For load balancing purposes we do not store messages sent through API with the “devices” parameter that contains less than 10 devices in an array. Due to this, such messages will not be displayed in your Message History.
To see push reports during the testing phase, there’s Debug Mode. Turning Debug Mode ON allows you to override this limit for 1 hour and save such pushes in the Message History. Debug mode turns OFF automatically after 1 hour.
Debug Mode can be activated on the Message History page by switching the toggle in the upper right corner.
If the Debug Mode is turned OFF, and you send a createMessage request with less than 10 device tokens to Pushwoosh API, the server will return a “CODE_NOT_AVAILABLE” value for “Messages”, and an empty key for Unknown Devices instead of Message Code unless the message is scheduled to be sent in the future with the "send_date" parameter.
Tag conditions
Each tag condition is an array like [tagName, operator, operand] where
tagName: name of a tag
operator: "EQ" | "IN" | "NOTEQ" | "NOTIN" | "LTE" | "GTE" | "BETWEEN" | "NOTSET" | "ANY"
operand: string | integer | array | date
Operator description
EQ: tag value is equal to operand;
IN: tag value intersects with operand (operand must always be an array);
NOTEQ: tag value is not equal to an operand;
NOTIN: tag value does not intersect with operand (operand must always be an array);
GTE: tag value is greater than or equal to operand;
LTE: tag value is less than or equal to operand;
BETWEEN: tag value is greater than or equal to min operand value but less than or equal to max operand value (operand must always be an array);
NOTSET: tag not set. Operand is not considered;
ANY: tag has any value. Operand is not considered. 
String tags
Valid operators: EQ, IN, NOTEQ, NOTIN, NOTSET, ANY
Valid operands:
EQ, NOTEQ: operand must be a string;
IN, NOTIN: operand must be an array of strings like ["value 1", "value 2", "value N"];
NOTSET: tag not set. Operand is not considered; 
ANY: tag has any value. Operand is not considered.
Integer tags
Valid operators: EQ, IN, NOTEQ, NOTIN, BETWEEN, GTE, LTE, NOTSET, ANY
Valid operands:
EQ, NOTEQ, GTE, LTE: operand must be an integer;
IN, NOTIN: operand must be an array of integers like [value 1, value 2, value N];
BETWEEN: operand must be an array of integers like [min_value, max_value];
NOTSET: tag not set. Operand is not considered;
ANY: tag has any value. Operand is not considered.
Date tags
Valid operators: EQ, IN, NOTEQ, NOTIN, BETWEEN, GTE, LTE, NOTSET, ANY
Valid operands: 
"YYYY-MM-DD 00:00" (string)
unix timestamp 1234567890 (integer)
"N days ago" (string) for operators EQ, BETWEEN, GTE, LTE
Boolean tags
Valid operators: EQ, NOTSET, ANY
Valid operands: 0, 1, true, false
List tags
Valid operators: IN, NOTIN, NOTSET, ANY
Valid operands: operand must be an array of strings like ["value 1", "value 2", "value N"].
Remember that “filter” and “conditions” parameters should not be used together.
Also, both of them will be ignored, if the "devices" parameter is used in the same request.
Country and Language tags
Language tag value is a lowercase two-letter code according to ISO-639-1
Country tag value is an UPPERCASE two-letter code according to ISO_3166-2
For example, to send push a notification to Portuguese-speaking subscribers in Brazil, you will need to specify the following condition: "conditions": [["Country", "EQ", "BR"],["Language", "EQ", "pt"]]
/createMessage snippets
Important!
Please be careful when using the snippets. Limit the number of recipients by specifying “users”, “devices”, “filter”, or “conditions” parameter. If none of these parameters is specified, the message will be sent to every device subscribed to push notifications from the application.
Sample /createMessage requests:
Bash
PHP
Erlang
Ruby
Java
Python
.NET
Go
JavaScript
