aioapns 1.3

An efficient APNs Client Library for Python/asyncio

aioapns is a library designed specifically for sending push-notifications to iOS devices via Apple Push Notification Service. aioapns provides an efficient client through asynchronous HTTP2 protocol for use with Python’s asyncio framework.

aioapns requires Python 3.5 or later.

Performance

In my testing aioapns allows you to send on average 1.3k notifications per second on a single core.

Features

• Internal connection pool which adapts to the current load
• Ability to set TTL (time to live) for notifications
• Ability to set priority for notifications
• Ability to set collapse-key for notifications
• Ability to use production or development APNs server

Installation

Use pip to install:

$ pip install aioapns

Basic Usage

from uuid import uuid4
from aioapns import APNs, NotificationRequest


async def run():
    apns = APNs('/path/to/apns-production-cert.pem', use_sandbox=False)
    request = NotificationRequest(
        device_token='<DEVICE_TOKEN>',
        message = {
            "aps": {
                "alert": "Hello from APNs",
                "badge": "1",
            }
        }
        notification_id=str(uuid4())  # optional
        time_to_live=3,               # optional
    )
    await apns.send_notification(request)

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(run())
