ntfy-wrapper 0.1.2

ntfy-wrapper is a free and hassle-free customizable notifier for Python. No login, no API token, no fees, no bullshit.

It's actually a simple Python wrapper around ntfy. Kudos to them ❤️

You can now send notification from your Python code and receive them on your computer through a Web App or a CLI, or on your phone with a dedicated app!

Again, all credit to ntfy.

Install

Install ntfy-wrapper with pip:

pip install ntfy-wrapper

Dependencies:

• requests for easy HTTP requests and interacting with the ntfy.sh API
• typer for a powerful and beautiful CLI
• xkcdpass to generate secure but human-friendly topics[^1]

How to use

from ntfy_wrapper import Notifier

if __name__ == "__main__":

    ntfy = Notifier(defaults={"title": "Your Project Name"})
    # grab the topic id that was just printed here ⬆️ in order
    # to subscribe to it on the web app or cli or mobile app
    # (ntfy_wrapper will dump a config file so the same id will be
    # re-used next time. Remember to *exclude* it from version control)

    ntfy.notify("Job has been allocated, starting Model training")

    try:
        results = do_some_stuff()
        if results["metric"] > threshold:
            ntfy.notify(
                f"Great model! Its metric is {results['metric']:.3f}",
                tags="white_check_mark",  # this is the ✅ emoji
                click=results["online_run_url"],
            )
        else:
            ntfy.notify(f"Done, but not great ({results['metric']:.3f})", tags="disappointed")
    except Exception as e:
        ntfy.notify(f"Error! -> {str(e)}", priority=4, emails="you@foo.bar")

Command-line

ntfy_wrapper comes with a command-line interface called py-ntfy. It uses the great Python CLI tool Typer
