Send PushBullet notifications to your devices via the command line.

The primary motivation for this project was to allow for an easy way to push notifications in response to system events. For example: notifying that a download has completed or that a build task has finished.

This code uses features of ES6 and was developed against the io.js fork of node.js. It will NOT work with node.js out of the box unless you specify the --harmony_iteration flag.

For more information on node.js and ES6 support refer to Node.js and ES6/Harmony

You can either git clone this repo or download via npm:

npm install ab-pushbullet-cli

This utility is designed to be light and simple with minimal dependencies and configuration.

First download all dependencies

npm install

You will then need to obtain your API key from your PushBullet Account Settings.

Configure pushbullet-cli to use your key

node pushbullet --key YOUR_KEY

Where YOUR_KEY is the API key you obtained from your PushBullet Account Settings.

Done! Ready to roll.

NOTE: Your key will be stored under your OS user data folder in a file .pbcli. Running --key again will override this file.

node pushbullet "This is a test"

You can set a custom title using the --title option

node pushbullet --title "Test Note" "This is a test"

You can push to a specific device using the -d option and mirrors the node-pushbullet-api api:

• 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.

node pushbullet -d my-device "This is a test"

In addition you may also push to a group of devices:

node pushbullet -d [my-device, another-device] "This is a test"

node pushbullet --devices

• Specify the notification type with the -t option
• Update a prior push -u
• Return the push history --history

This is a utility project written to scratch an itch. It works for my use cases. While I plan to periodically develop it further, this project is not amazingly high on my priority list.

Pull requests are very welcome if you wish to contribute features, fixes etc... I only ask that you try to keep your code minimalistic, clean and performance oriented.
