Webpush Data encryption library for Python
This is a work in progress.
Installation
You'll need to run python virtualenv.
Then
bin/pip install -r requirements.txt
bin/python setup.py develop
Usage
In the browser, the promise handler for registration.pushManager.subscribe() returns a PushSubscription object. This object has a .toJSON() method that will return a JSON object that contains all the info we need to encrypt and push data.
As illustration, a subscription info object may look like:
{"endpoint": "https://updates.push.services.mozilla.com/push/v1/gAA...", "keys": {"auth": "k8J...", "p256dh": "BOr..."}}
How you send the PushSubscription data to your backend, store it referenced to the user who requested it, and recall it when there's new a new push subscription update is left as an excerise for the reader.
The data can be any serial content (string, bit array, serialized
JSON, etc), but be sure that your receiving application is able to
parse and understand it. (e.g. data = "Mary had a little lamb.")
headers is a dictionary of additional HTTP header values (e.g.
VAPID
self identification headers). It is optional and may be omitted.
to send:
WebPusher(subscription_info).send(data, headers)
You can also simply encode the data to send later by calling
encoded = WebPush(subscription_info).encode(data)
