Push API Keys Developer
Generate API keys for external apps to send push notifications via the Firebase-compatible REST API.
Authenticate Your Apps for Push Delivery
Push API Keys let your backend services and mobile apps authenticate with Pappy Mall's push notification system. Generate multiple keys for different environments (development, staging, production) and track usage per key.
Key Management Features
Create Multiple Keys
Generate separate keys for dev, staging, and production. Each key has its own usage metrics and can be revoked independently.
Key Rotation
Rotate keys without downtime. Create a new key, update your apps, then revoke the old key when ready.
Per-Key Analytics
Track how many notifications each key sends. Monitor usage patterns and identify unauthorized access attempts.
Secure by Default
Keys are shown only once at creation time. Store them securely in your app's environment variables or secrets manager.
How It Works
Create an API Key
Click "Create API Key", give it a name (e.g., "Production Backend"), and copy the key immediately.
Add to Your App
Include the API key in the X-Api-Key header of your push notification API requests.
Send Notifications
Your app can now send push notifications to devices, topics, or individual users. Monitor usage from the dashboard.
Authentication Example
// Include your Push API Key in the request header
fetch('https://your-domain.com/api/push/send', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'X-Api-Key': 'your-push-api-key-here',
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
},
body: JSON.stringify({
token: 'device-token-here',
title: 'Hello!',
body: 'You have a new message'
})
