pushbullet.py

What it is and what it does

pushbullet.py is a Python wrapper around the Pushbullet service API, allowing you to programmatically send notifications, notes, and messages to Android devices and other connected endpoints. It abstracts the HTTP API calls into simple Python method calls, making it easier to integrate Pushbullet notifications into Python applications.

The package is no longer maintained—the last release was in October 2020 and the repository is archived. While it has no external runtime dependencies and installs easily, you should verify that the Pushbullet API itself has not changed significantly since then, as the library will not receive updates to accommodate any API modifications.

Use it for:

• Send automated notifications from a Python script to your Android device or Pushbullet account
• Integrate push notifications into a monitoring or alerting system for system administrators
• Build a notification bridge that forwards messages from one service to Pushbullet-connected devices
• Send notes or reminders from a scheduled task or cron job to your phone

Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

A Python client library for the Pushbullet API that sends notifications and messages to Android devices and other connected services.

No, unless you have a specific legacy requirement. The package is abandoned and has not been updated since 2020. While it has no known vulnerabilities and installs without friction, you should assume the Pushbullet API may have changed and the library will not receive fixes. Consider using an actively maintained alternative or the official Pushbullet API directly if starting a new project.

Install

pushbullet-py on PyPI

pip install pushbullet-py

uv add pushbullet-py

poetry add pushbullet-py

Installing pushbullet.py

Before you install

Installation is straightforward with no runtime dependencies, but the package is abandoned as of 2020-10-21 with no maintenance since. The repository is archived and the author is seeking someone to take over ownership.

License in practice

MIT license permits free use, modification, and distribution with minimal restrictions, making it suitable for both personal and commercial projects.

Quickstart

pip install pushbullet.py

from pushbullet import Pushbullet

pb = Pushbullet('your_api_key')
pb.push_note(title='Hello', body='World')

Requires a valid Pushbullet API key; the package has not been updated since 2020 and may not work with current Pushbullet API changes.

Verify before relying

• Whether the Pushbullet API itself remains operational and unchanged since the package's last update in 2020
• Compatibility with current Python versions beyond those listed in classifiers (2.7, 3.2, 3.x)
• Whether authentication or API endpoints have changed since the last release
