### Send Android notification

Send single notification with the following command.

```bash
$ gorush -android -m="your message" -k="API Key" -t="Device token"
```

* `-m`: Notification message.
* `-k`: [Firebase Cloud Messaging](https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/) api key
* `-t`: Device token.
* `--title`: Notification title.
* `--proxy`: Set http proxy url. (only working for GCM)

### Send iOS notification

Send single notification with the following command.

```bash
$ gorush -ios -m="your message" -i="your certificate path" -t="device token" -topic="apns topic"
```

* `-m`: Notification message.
* `-i`: Apple Push Notification Certificate path (`pem` or `p12` file).
* `-t`: Device token.
* `--title`: Notification title.
* `--topic`: The topic of the remote notification.
* `--password`: The certificate password.

The default endpoint is APNs development. Please add `-production` flag for APNs production push endpoint.

```bash
$ gorush -ios -m="your message" -i="your certificate path" -t="device token" -production
```

## Run gorush web server

Please make sure your [config.yml](config/config.yml) exist. Default port is `8088`.

```bash
$ gorush -c config.yml
```

Get go status of api server using [httpie](https://github.com/jkbrzt/httpie) tool:

```bash
$ http -v --verify=no --json GET http://localhost:8088/api/stat/go
```

## Web API

Gorush support the following API.

* **GET**  `/api/stat/go` Golang cpu, memory, gc, etc information. Thanks for [golang-stats-api-handler](https://github.com/fukata/golang-stats-api-handler).
* **GET**  `/api/stat/app` show notification success and failure counts.
* **GET**  `/api/config` show server yml config file.
* **POST** `/api/push` push ios and android notifications.

      "platform": 1,
