Sending requests with PB.Net

Sending a push notification

To send a push notification, we need to make a PushRequest After establishing your client we may safely begin to do so. Making the PushRequest is fairly simple.

---

1. First, We need to find the device we want to send the notification to. For example, I will be using the first device made by Samsung I have registered.

See: How to get your devices

LINQ not working past FirstOrDefault()? See my warning on creating a new device

var device = devices.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Manufacturer.Equals("Samsung", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase));

I recommended using StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase because if the API returns the manufacturer with different casing your device will be null.

2. Sending the request

await client.PushAsync("NotificationTitle", "NotificationContent", "target device identity");
// My example:
await client.PushAsync("Wrapper test", "This request will work!", device.Iden);

Creating a new device

Creating a new device is a bit more complex than sending a notification. First, we must create a new instance of NewDeviceModel and pass that to our method.

WARNING: Do not make a blank device. If you do LINQ will not working on finding a device. You would have to use the "==" operator on a property of devices. Ex: devices.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Nickname == "DONTDOTHIS");

var newModel = new NewDeviceModel()
{
    AppVersion = 0, //	Version of the Pushbullet application installed on the device
    HasSms = "true", // true if the devices has SMS capability, currently only true for type="android" devices
    Icon = "Phone", // Icon to use for this device, can be an arbitrary string. Commonly used values are: "desktop", "browser", "website", "laptop", "tablet", "phone", "watch", "system"
    Manufacturer = "Samsung", // Manufacturer of the device
    Model = "Galaxy S 100", // Model of the device
    Nickname = "GF Phone", // Name to use when displaying the device
    Token = "example" // Platform-specific push token. If you are making your own device, leave this blank and you can listen for events on the Realtime Event Stream.
};

Note that all these options are actually optional. Now, we need to pass this model into our method.

await client.CreateDeviceAsync(newModel);

That is it, you are done!
