+
+This is a python library for the wonderful [Pushbullet](https://www.pushbullet.com) service. It allows you to send push notifications to [Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pushbullet.android) devices.
+
+In order to use the API you need an API key that can be obtained
+[here](https://www.pushbullet.com/account). This is user specific and is
+used instead of passwords.
+
+## Installation
+
+The easiest way is to just open your favorite terminal and type
+
+    pip install pushbullet.py
+
+Alternatively you can clone this repo and install it with
+
+    python setup.py install
+
+## Requirements
+
+- The wonderful requests library.
+- The magical python-magic library.
+
+## Usage
+
+### Authentication
+
+```python
+from pushbullet import Pushbullet
+
+pb = Pushbullet(api_key)
+```
+
+If your key is invalid (that is, the Pushbullet API returns a `401`), an
+`InvalidKeyError` is raised.
+
+#### Using a proxy
+
+When specified, all requests to the API will be made through the proxy.
+Note that the use of SOCKS proxies requires the `requests[socks]`
+package (`pip install requests[socks]` to install), however HTTP proxies
+(w/ Basic Auth) work fine without the `requests[socks]` package.
+
+```python
+from pushbullet import Pushbullet
+
+pb = Pushbullet(api_key, proxy={"https": "https://user:[email protected]:3128/"})
+```
+
+Note that only HTTPS proxies work with Pushbullet.
+
+### Pushing things
+
+#### Pushing a text note
+
+```python
+push = pb.push_note("This is the title", "This is the body")
+```
+
+`push` is a dictionary containing the data returned by the Pushbullet
+API.
+
+#### Pushing a link
+
+```python
+push = pb.push_link("Cool site", "https://github.com")
+```
+
+#### Pushing a file
+
+Pushing files is a two part process. First you need to upload the file,
+and after that you can push it like you would anything else.
+
+```python
+with open("my_cool_picture.jpg", "rb") as pic:
+    file_data = pb.upload_file(pic, "picture.jpg")
+
+push = pb.push_file(**file_data)
+```
+
+`upload_file` returns a dictionary containing `file_type`, `file_url`
+and `file_name` keys. These are the same parameters that `push_file`
+take.
+
+The advantage of this is that if you already have a file uploaded
+somewhere, you can use that instead of uploading again. For example:
+
+```python
+push = pb.push_file(file_url="https://i.imgur.com/IAYZ20i.jpg", file_name="cat.jpg", file_type="image/jpeg")
+```
+
+### Working with pushes
+
+You can also view all previous pushes:
+
+```python
+pushes = pb.get_pushes()
+```
+
+Pushes is a list containing dictionaries that have push data. You can
+use this data to dismiss notifications or delete pushes.
+
+```python
+latest = pushes[0]
+
+# We already read it, so let's dismiss it
+pb.dismiss_push(latest.get("iden"))
+
+# Now delete it
+pb.delete_push(latest.get("iden"))
+```
+
+Both of these raise `PushbulletError` if there's an error.
+
+You can also delete all of your pushes:
+
+```python
+pushes = pb.delete_pushes()
+```
+
+### Pushing to specific devices
+
+So far all our pushes went to all connected devices, but there's a way
+to limit that.
+
+First we need to get hold of some devices.
+
+```python
+# Get all devices that the current user has access to.
+print(pb.devices)
+# [Device('Motorola Moto G'), Device('N7'), Device('Chrome')]
+
+# Select a device from the array using indexing
+motog = pb.devices[0]
+
+# Or retrieve a device by its name. Note that an InvalidKeyError is raised if the name does not exist
+motog = pb.get_device('Motorola Moto G')
+```
+
+Now we can use the device objects like we did with \`pb\`:
+
+```python
+push = motog.push_note("Hello world!", "We're using the api.")
+```
+
+Alternatively we can pass the device to push methods:
+
+```python
+push = pb.push_note("Hello world!", "We're using the api.", device=motog)
+```
+
+#### Creating new devices
+
+Creating a new device is easy too, you only need to specify a name for
+it. Though you can also specify manufacturer, model and icon too.
+
+```python
+listener = pb.new_device("Listener")
+motog = pb.new_device("MotoG", manufacturer="Motorola", model="G", icon="android")
+```
+
+Now you can use it like any other device.
+
+#### Editing devices
+
+You can change the nickname, the manufacturer, model and icon of the
+device:
+
+```python
+listener = pb.edit_device(listener, manufacturer="Python", model="3.4.1", icon="system")
+motog = pb.edit_device(motog, nickname="My MotoG")
+```
+
+#### Deleting devices
+
+Of course, you can also delete devices, even those not added by you.
+
+```python
+pb.remove_device(listener)
+```
+
+A `PushbulletError` is raised on error.
+
+### Channels
+
+You can also send pushes to channels. First, create a channel on the
+Pushbullet website (also make sure to subscribe to that channel). All
+channels which belong to the current user can be retrieved as follows:
+
+```python
+# Get all channels created by the current user
+print(pb.channels)
+# [Channel('My Channel' 'channel_identifier')]
+
+my_channel = pb.channels[0]
+
+# Or retrieve a channel by its channel_tag. Note that an InvalidKeyError is raised if the channel_tag does not exist
+my_channel = pb.get_channel('My Channel')
+```
+
+Then you can send a push to all subscribers of this channel like so:
+
+```python
+push = my_channel.push_note("Hello Channel!", "Hello My Channel")
+```
+
+Alternatively we can pass the channel to push methods:
+
+```python
+push = pb.push_note("Hello Channel!", "Hello My Channel.", channel=my_channel)
+```
+
+Note that you can only push to channels which have been created by the
+current user.
+
+### Contacts
+
+Contacts, which are known as "Chats" in Pushbullet's terminilogy, work
+just like devices:
+
+```python
+# Get all contacts the user has
+print(pb.chats)
+# [Chat('Peter' <[email protected]>), Chat('Sophie' <[email protected]>)]
+
+sophie = pb.chats[1]
+```
+
+Now we can use the chat objects like we did with pb or with the
+devices.:
+
+```python
+push = sophie.push_note("Hello world!", "We're using the api.")
+
+# Or:
+push = pb.push_note("Hello world!", "We're using the api.", chat=sophie)
+```
+
+#### Adding new chats
+
+```python
+bob = pb.new_chat("Bob", "[email protected]")
+```
+
+#### Editing chats
+
+You can change the name of any chat:
+
+```python
+bob = pb.edit_chat(bob, "bobby")
+```
+
+#### Deleting chats
+
+```python
+pb.remove_chat(bob)
+```
+
+### Sending SMS messages
+
+```python
+device = pb.devices[0]
+push = pb.push_sms(device, "+3612345678", "Wowza!")
+```
+
+#### End-To-End encryption
+
+You activate end-to-end encryption by specifying your encryption key
+during the construction of the `Pushbullet` instance:
+
+```python
+from pushbullet import Pushbullet
+
+pb = Pushbullet(api_key, "My secret password")
+```
+
+When specified, all sent SMS will be encrypted. Note that the use of
+end-to-end encryption requires the `cryptography` package. Since
+end-to-end encryption is only supported for SMS at the moment, the
+`cryptography` library is not specified as a dependency of
+`pushbullet.py` and should be installed seperatly by running
+`pip install cryptography`.
+
+Note that Pushbullet supportes End-To-End encryption only in SMS,
+notification mirroring and universal copy & paste. Your pushes will not
+be end-to-end encrypted.
+
+### Error checking
+
+If the Pushbullet api returns an error code a `PushError` an \_\_
+`InvalidKeyError` or a `PushbulletError` is raised. The first \_\_ two
+are both subclasses of `PushbulletError`
+
+The [pushbullet api documetation](https://www.pushbullet.com/api)
+contains a list of possible status codes.
