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.

let PushBullet = require('pushbullet');
let pusher = new PushBullet('YOUR-API-KEY');

let response = await pusher.devices();

let response = await pusher.note(deviceParams, noteTitle, noteBody);

Target devices

The push functions (note, 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. If the object is empty, {}, then the push is sent to all devices.

Async/Await

Version 2 of the module supported callback and promise based execution. Version 3 uses async/await. Callbacks can still be used by utilising util.callbackify().

let response = await pusher.devices();
console.log(await response.json());

API

new PushBullet(apiKey)

Creates a new PushBullet object.

The apiKey parameter is the string API key provided by PushBullet.

PushBullet.me();

Get the current user's information.

await pusher.me();

PushBullet.devices([options])

Retrieves a list of pushable devices.

The options parameter can use two attributes cursor andlimit to control the data returned.

• active is used to restrict the results to only active devices.
• cursor is used to select the page if the results have been paginated.
• limit is used to limit the number of objects in the reponse.

let options = {
	limit: 10
};

await pusher.devices(options);

PushBullet.createDevice(deviceOptions)

Creates a new device.

let deviceOptions = {
	nickname: 'node-app'
};

await pusher.createDevice(deviceOptions);

PushBullet.updateDevice(deviceIden, deviceOptions)

Creates a new device.

let deviceOptions = {
	nickname: 'node-app'
};

await pusher.updateDevice(deviceIden, deviceOptions);

PushBullet.deleteDevice(deviceIden)

Delete a device.

await pusher.deleteDevice('u1qSJddxeKwOGuGW');

PushBullet.note(deviceParams, noteTitle, noteBody)

Push a note to the specified device.
