Pushbullet

Pushbullet, a prominent Python package, which connects multiple devices using python code. In this article, we will discuss how to send messages or notifications through it. Using our computer and python code, we will send some messages to the pushbullet app installed on a mobile device, which has the same login id, as the one on the computer. For this first, we’ll need to create an account on Pushbullet.com and sign in to it, from computer and phone both.

Setup:

Set up a Pushbullet account on your PC and Phone
- For PC
  - Go to Pushbullet.com
  - Create an account

For Phone
- Install the Pushbullet app on your phone.
- Log in using the same email address that you used to log in to your PC.

Now let us move to the python code part and understand how each requirement has to be planned to realize the functionality.

Install the following modules listed below

# Used for sending the Push notifications.
pip install pushbullet.py==0.9.1

# Used for the interface at the output window. 
pip install pywebio

Import all the required modules
Go to Pushbullet and obtain the access token.

Get your Access Token and use the PushBullet method to create an instance by providing the Access Token in the PushBullet function.

Syntax:

PushBullet(access_token)

Use the push_note function to send data and text inside the function. push_note will take two arguments i.e. data and text. the first argument will work as a Heading in the notification where 2nd argument is a text.

Syntax:

pb.push_note(data, text)

Below is the complete implementation.

Python3

# Import the following modules
from pushbullet import PushBullet
from pywebio.input import *
from pywebio.output import *
from pywebio.session import *
import time
 
# Get the access token from Pushbullet.com
access_token = "Your Access Token"
 
 
# Taking input from the user
data = input('Title')
 
# Taking large text input from the user
text = textarea(
  "Text", rows=3, placeholder="Write something...", 
  required=True)
 
# Get the instance using access token
pb = PushBullet(access_token)
 
# Send the data by passing the main title
# and text to be send
push = pb.push_note(data, text)
 
# Put a success message after sending 
# the notification
put_success("Message sent successfully...")
 
# Sleep for 3 seconds
time.sleep(3)
 
# Clear the screen
clear()
 
# Give the pop at last
toast("Thanks for using it :)")
 
# hold the session until the whole work finishes
hold()

There is one more way to do the same, discussed below. In this method, a predefined message is sent as a notification.

For this, first import the required modules and get your Access Token.

Syntax:

TOKEN = 'Your Access Token'

Then Make a dictionary with all the information you wish to send in the body.

Syntax:

msg = {“type”: “note”, “title”: title, “body”: body}

Now, to send the posts request, use the posts method specified in the requests module. Push the Pushbullet along the entire path. Now use json.dumps to dump all the data into a data variable.

Now pass the dictionary to the header variable, which includes the sender’s authorization, your access token, and content-types, which is application/json in this case.

Syntax:

requests.post(‘url’, data=json.dumps(msg), headers={‘Authorization’: ‘Bearer ‘ + TOKEN, Content-Type’: ‘application/json’})

Now look at the response status code; if it’s 200, we’ve had an error; otherwise, our message will have been sent properly.

Given below is the complete implementation.

Program:

Python3

# Import the following modules
import requests
import json
 
# Function to send Push Notification
 
 
def pushbullet_noti(title, body):
 
    TOKEN = 'Your Access Token'  # Pass your Access Token here
    # Make a dictionary that includes, title and body
    msg = {"type": "note", "title": title, "body": body}
    # Sent a posts request
    resp = requests.post('https://api.pushbullet.com/v2/pushes',
                         data=json.dumps(msg),
                         headers={'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + TOKEN,
                                  'Content-Type': 'application/json'})
    if resp.status_code != 200:  # Check if fort message send with the help of status code
        raise Exception('Error', resp.status_code)
    else:
        print('Message sent')
 
 
pushbullet_noti("Hey", "How you doing?")
