Pushbullet HTTP Post

[Adam Slomko]

Does anyone know how to use HTTP Post to send somethign through pushbullet?  I looked at the api, but I can't figure out how to authenticate the POST through the data section.  I keep getting response code 401 error in authentication.

Hi Adam,

Using Taskers HTTP POST

server:port = https://api.pushbullet.com/api/pushes //the port is not needed unless requested by PushBullet, I didn't see it.

skip down to Data/File and enter each parameter on it's own line within the data/File box.

device_iden = IDEN //your IDEN # according to PushBullet, the device this push is to be routed to
under the line device_iden=YourDeviceIDEN // I would not have any spaces
enter type=note or whatever is the type
then on a new line enter
title=thetitle
then on a new line enter
body=the text of the message //don't know about spaces needing to be replaced by +'s or %20's
follow the formats below for the different types, note, link, address, list, file, etc.
if type = note
    title = The title of the note
    body = The note's body

if type = link
    title = The title of the page linked to
    url = The link url

if type = address
    name = The name of the place at the address
    address = The full address or Google Maps query

if type = list
    title = The title of the list
    items = The list items

if type = file
    file = The file to push
 type = The type of push this is

Not sure about the Content Type, but PB is expecting that in the data.
I copied some of this from the PushBullet site. They had typical code snippets, but nothing to tell you how to use them in tasker, and why would they.

Hope this gets you going in the right direction.

Thank you so much, I have all of that but there is still a parameter for the API, but I can't figure out the right parameter to use.  So I keep on getting 401 error in authentication.

Looking a little more at the pushbullet API and the pushover api (i can do pushover through tasker), it looks like it can't be done because pushbullet uses the username (-u) command, which can't be sent through tasker on an https post.  Pushover uses username as a format data entry (-f)

Scratch that, I'm an idiot, I just needed to to https://[api_key]:@api.pushbullet.com/api/pushes

Well actually I'm saving up for autoremote and going to use that when I feel like spending $5. So right now I'm using autoremote light to send 2 letter messages and using pushbullet to send back a response such as what song is currently playing on my phone or how much battery life is left. I'm sure there are more things to do with it. But that's it for me for now. Recieve message from autoremote light and respond with what I want to know.

Sorry to reply to this post after it not being active for a while but I need some help. I was able to get the pushing of a note to work, but I want to be able to send an sms using tasker and the pushbullet api. The sms documentation is found here. Any help is much appreciated.

I am struggling into this now, trying to push a simple note using pushbullet API in Tasker.

what I tried was https://[APIKEY]@api.pushbullet.com/v2/pushes?type=note&body=[NOTETOPUSH]

but with no luck, it doesn't work! anyone has got it to work?
