You can send a Push Notification message to one or more devices (iOS or Android) that installed your app by making a request to the following endpoint:

https://api.appery.io/rest/push/msg

X-Appery-Push-API-Key is a required header for this service, you can find this key in the Settings section in Apps > Push Notifications tab. As this is a POST method service, non-header parameters should be passed as request body.

📘
If the push notification is scheduled the server returns HTTP 200 and a list of the saved push notifications, otherwise the server returns with a HTTP 204 NO CONTENT status, even if no messages were sent or delivered.
