REST API Endpoints

In order to send push notifications to a device, the device’s unique identification (ID) and token need to be recorded in the site’s database. To accomplish this, the plugin provides two REST API endpoints: one for subscribing a device when the mobile application is installed or launched, and another for unsubscribing a device when the application is deleted. These endpoints allow the site to keep track of which devices are registered to receive notifications and which are not.

https://example.domain/wp-json/fcm/pn/subscribe

Parameters:

• rest_api_key (required) – Unique generated site key provided by the plugin
• device_uuid (required)

• subscription (required) – This would be the some category name in which the device is registered, if there is no category exists in WordPress it’ll be created automatically.
