Instapush: Instant notifications for things that matter

Re:Instapush: Instant notifications for things that matter by akerl_ on Saturday January 25, 2014 @10:17AM (#7120996)

After browsing the site, I'm left with 2 questions: What does this service offer that makes it more desirable than the whole crowd of other Notification-As-A-Service providers, and how do I make an API call to it? It doesn't look like there are API docs, so I would need to dissect one of their linked wrappers.

as far as I understand. It's especially interesting for product/apps/services owners to follow up on transactions that they find important. And about API there's a raw CURL right there curl -X POST \ -H "x-instapush-appid: 529e45aa128773e72b8b4567" \ -H "x-instapush-appsecret: e5aaf9c65ce78d67718e68557e31ad66" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"event":"registeration", "trackers":{"email":"[email protected]","country":"US"}}' \ http://api.instapush.im/post

Sending the secret in plaintext over HTTP. Yikes.

Ah, my bad. I didn't notice the curl shown, since it's listed next to language implementations
