Is there something like Apprise for pulling notifications?

❓ Question

Hi all! 👋 First of all, apologies if this is not the right place to ask this question. Feel free to close immediately ;)

I am looking for the equivalent of Apprise, but for pulling existing notifications instead of pushing new ones. I would love to be able to centralise notifications from all social networks and data sources that I am subscribed to and store them in a single data store. Does such as service already exist?

Thanks!

What an awesome question. 🚀 ❤️ That sounds like a fantastic idea! I love it!

This solution could technically fit within this project as all of the underlining calls eventually group each service apart from another and leverage a single send() function. There is no reason not to leverage all of the API connectivity the Apprise Notification Plugin modules don't already handled here and just additionally support a get() function as well (just thinking out loud here).

One would have to go back through all of the API end points of each (Apprise) service and improve upon it. I could envision opening a thread/async (live) connection to each end point. Some services (like Twitter for example) provide a live-streaming mechanism that could just be passed along. Others would require a type of polling loop and frequent check for updates. But to convert all of those crazy API's back into a simple to handle/ingest API would be awesome.

Quite honestly, I'm not sure if I can/will take on the task; at least not yet anyway, It's quite an undertaking; but I would certainly consider it. Kudo's again for such a fantastic idea.

I'm worried this ticket is going to be one that stays open for a while, but I simply refuse to close it. Maybe some brave soul will consider tackling it themselves. 🙂

As an addendum to this as I feel it's related, would be the ability to wire the two systems to each other. i.e. get()ing a message could cause 1 or more send()ers to either forward the message or create a new one.

I was originally looking for some way to have Apprise subscribe to a local MQTT topic and forward that message to other services, when I found this issue

I really love that idea too @mgray88. Would have to think how to tie the configuration together.

Something like further leveraging the tagging already in place for send() calls. A tag that matched a get() would handle the route (to the corresponding send that is)

Not 100% what was asked for but take a look at https://github.com/jpmens/mqttwarn / - Mqtt relay to XYZ. It only source is mqtt but it can emit to others
