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

* `-m`: Notification message.
* `-k`: [Google cloud message](https://developers.google.com/cloud-messaging/) api key
* `-t`: Device token.

### Send iOS notification

```

## 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 https://localhost:8088/api/stat/go
```

## Web API

Gorush support the following API.
