            "a6461732069737d42065496e...f39ad": {
                "application_id": "39JSDKGJ38.de.cospace.app",
                "sandbox": true

            }

    }
}

The fcm section lists the items necessary to use Firebase Cloud Messaging for Android (FCM). The tokens array lists all tokens that are stored for the current user.

The apns section lists the items necessary to use Apple Push Notification service (APNs). In the device_tokens section, all active device tokens are listed as keys, with their respective application ID in the value (the application ID consists of the application’s bundle ID prefixed with a ten-character code generated by Apple) and optional APNS topic. Device tokens are 32-byte octet strings and represented here as 64-character hexadecimal strings.

POST /api/push

Add or delete tokens for Apple Push Notification service (APNs) or registration IDs for Firebase Cloud Messaging for Android (FCM).

JSON Parameters:
 
  • system

    fcm|apns

    selects operation for Apple (APNs) or Google (FCM)

  • actionadd|delete
  • device_token

    ^[0-9a-fA-F]{64}$

    the device token

  • sandbox

    true|false

    optional; only for APNs and action add: selects the sandbox APNS

  • application_id

    ^[a-zA-Z0-9]{10}.[a-zA-Z0-9.-]{5,100}$

    only for APNs and action add: the application ID (team-id.bundle-id)

  • apns_topic

    ^[a-zA-Z0-9.-]{5,100}$

    optional; only for APNs and action add: the APNS topic if not set, the bundle-id part of the application-id will be used instead.

Response body example

{}
JSON Parameters:
 
  • status
    • unknown-appid: The application ID is not known to the system (see note below)
    • invalid-appid: The application ID is syntactically invalid
    • invalid-apns-topic: The APNS topic is syntactically invalid

The system field selects Apple Push Notification service (apns) or Firebase Cloud Messaging for Android (fcm) as the basis of the operation. The following fields depend on this choice.

The action field defines whether this API call will result in a new registration ID / device token being registered with the system (add) or an existing entry to be removed from the system (delete).

For FCM, the device_token must be specified with both the add or delete operation.

For APNs, both the device_token and the application_id need to be specified with the add operation. For the delete operation, it is sufficient to specify only the device_token. The sandbox field specifies whether notifications for this device token should be send to the sandbox APNS.

Please note that for APNs, since Apple requires custom certificates for each application ID, it is necessary to contact the cospace team if you want to integrate a new app. No such restriction exists for FCM.
