It seems that through the Parse.com REST API you can set up broadcast message push notifications to be sent directly from the app rather than their control panel. This uses their REST API. Dorset anyone have any experience using this? I have been trying to educate myself on REST but am having trouble working out how to use it. Everyone says it is simple but I can't seem to find a simple demo of how to use REST URL's. As always any help from the BT community would be much appreciated!

Not sure if I really understand if that's the way if work's but that would be neat.

Would be cool.

sepala Aspiring developer Posts: 196 Reg: Nov 23, 2011 London 3,060	05/17/12 01:17 AM (13 years ago) Emailed Parse and just got this reply from them: "You will have to manually make the calls to the REST API using javascript. If you can hold on for a little while, you'll be pleasantly surprised by a great feature we are releasing soon! But if this is urgent, you can try one of the many third party javascript libraries (https://parse.com/docs/api_libraries)." Gonna dive into the code there and see if I can do anything with it, but very interested to see what their new feature is...

However, the idea of the client having to do anything with code kills the deal. Comments Yeah I have explored this a little because I need a way for clients to send the Push.
