/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 API messaging tracing 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:

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.

API messaging tracing

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, use API messaging tracing. Turning this option ON allows you to override this limit for 1 hour and save such pushes in the Message History. API messaging tracing turns OFF automatically after 1 hour.

API messaging tracing can be activated on the Message History page by clicking Start API messaging tracing in the upper right corner.

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

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:

#!/bin/bash
 
#Usage
if [ ! -n "$1" ] || [ ! -n "$2" ]
then
  echo "`basename $0` usage: api_token appid message";
  exit 1;
