Overview
Pusher Beams is a managed push notification API that enables developers to send reliable push notifications to Android and iOS devices without managing their own FCM/APNs infrastructure. It handles device registration, token management, and delivery retries, exposing a simple REST API and client SDKs to publish notifications to individual devices or user segments. An API key and instance ID from the Pusher dashboard are required to authenticate requests.
Beginner Tip
Create a free Pusher account and set up a Beams instance to obtain your instance ID and secret key. Install the platform-specific client SDK (Android, iOS, or Web) to register devices, then use the REST API or a server SDK to publish notifications. Start with a simple broadcast to all devices before implementing user-targeted or filtered notifications.

Calls a real endpoint of this API. Replace any placeholder credentials with your own key.
const url = "https://YOUR_INSTANCE_ID.pushnotifications.pusher.com/publish_api/v1/instances/YOUR_INSTANCE_ID/publishes/all";
// Replace headers or query params with the values required by this API.
const response = await fetch(url, {
headers: {
"X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
}
});
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`Request failed: ${response.status}`);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data); What Can You Build?
