Testing

If you’d like to test in-app and push notifications via the command-line, you can send a single notification through the terminal via CURL and the Messaging API. You will need to replace the following fields with the correct values for your test case:

• YOUR_API_KEY — available on the Developer Console page
• YOUR_EXTERNAL_USER_ID — available on the User Profile Search Page. See documentation on assigning user IDs
• YOUR_KEY1 (optional)
• YOUR_VALUE1 (optional)

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{\"api_key\":\"YOUR_API_KEY\",\"external_user_ids\":[\"YOUR_EXTERNAL_USER_ID\"],\"messages\":{\"apple_push\":{\"alert\":\"Test push\",\"extra\":{\"YOUR_KEY1\":\"YOUR_VALUE1\"}}}}" https://rest.iad-01.braze.com/messages/send

The above is an example for customers on the US-01 instance. If you are not on this instance please refer to our API documentation to see which endpoint to make requests to.
