Defination of payload

[SurajBhari]

I am new to this webdev thing. I was making a small project that requires me to send notification(s). I have managed to get through everything and get it to send notification.

Readme says "data" can be anything serial. even serialized JSON but when I send a message like this it arrives as it is

Is there any documents where you find the payload keys names?

my code is simple.

def send_web_push(subscription_information, message_body):
    return webpush(
        subscription_info=subscription_information,
        data=message_body,
        vapid_private_key=VAPID_PRIVATE_KEY,
        vapid_claims=VAPID_CLAIMS
    )

notification_payload = {
            "title": "New Video",
            "body": "New Video from xyz",
}
data = json.dumps(notification_payload)
send_web_push(sub, data)

So... "Payload" (or data) is kinda undefined for a few reasons. Really, it's up to the recipient system to make sense out of it.

In your case, if you're sending JSON, you're getting JSON back out. (JSON is a fairly human readable format. You could do all sorts of things like, set the values of the Notification popup (to be fair, you probably should do that inside of the Service Worker, and just save the message for the content, possibly the title.

There are a bunch of good practices for webpush notifications, as well. Hope that helps.
