Send Push Notification

Rate Limit

The rate limit is 10,000 requests per minute.

Authentication

A signature is required to verify whether the client is authorized to make the API call. It is generated from a hash of the campaign name, app ID, and API key. MoEngage uses the SHA 256 method to generate this hash. Python code is used to generate the signature for your test account, and use your account’s app_id.

On the left navigation menu in the MoEngage dashboard, go to Settings > Account > APIs.
Copy the following details:

app_id: Under Workspace ID (earlier app_id), click the copy icon to copy the app-id.
api_key: In the API keys section, click the copy icon in the Push tile to copy the API key.
campaign_name: Ensure the campaign name matches the one used in the request body.

Generating Signature

Python code to generate the signature for your test account, use the app_id that is appropriate for your account.

Python 3.XX
Python 2.XX

from hashlib import sha256
app_id = "{{Your Workspace ID}}"
campaign_name = "{{your campaign name}}"
api_key = "{{your push api key}}"
signature_key = app_id+'|'+ campaign_name+'|'+ api_key
signature = sha256(signature_key.encode('utf-8')).hexdigest()
print(signature)

from hashlib import sha256 
app_id = "{{Your Workspace ID}}" 
campaign_name = "{{your campaign name}}" 
api_key = "{{your push api key}}" 
signature_key = app_id+'|'+ campaign_name+'|'+ api_key 
signature = sha256(signature_key).hexdigest() 
print(signature)
