In the management console, go to the folder containing your endpoint.
From the list of services, select Cloud Notification Service.
Select an in-browser push notification channel.
Navigate to the Endpoints tab.
Select the endpoint you need.
Enter the notification text and click Send.

Each sent notification is assigned a unique ID. To save it, click Copy ID.

If you do not have the AWS CLI yet, install and configure it.

Run this command:

aws sns publish \
  --target-arn "<endpoint_ARN>" \
  --message-structure json \
  --message '{"default": "<notification_text>", "WEB": "<notification_text>"}'

Where:

--target-arn: Endpoint ID (ARN).
--message-structure: Message format.
--message: Message.

If you do not have the AWS SDK for Python (boto3) yet, install and configure it.

To send a notification, use this code:

try:
  response = client.publish(
      TargetArn="<endpoint_ARN>",
      Message=json.dumps({
          "default": "<notification_text>",
          "WEB": "<notification_text>",
      }),
      MessageStructure="json",
  )
  print(f'Message ID: {response["MessageId"]}')

except botocore.exceptions.ClientError as error:
  print(f"Error: {error}")

If you do not have the AWS SDK for PHP yet, install and configure it.

To send a notification, use this code:

$response = $client->publish(
  [
      'TargetArn' => '<endpoint_ARN>',
      'Message' => json_encode([
          'default' => '<notification_text>',
          'WEB' => '<notification_text>',
      ]),
      'MessageStructure' => 'json',
  ]
);
print('Message ID: ' . $response->get('MessageId'));

If you do not have the AWS SDK for JavaScript yet, install and configure it.

To send a notification to a browser, use this code:

try {
 const response = await client.send(
     new AWS.PublishCommand({
         Message: JSON.stringify({
             "default": "<notification_text>",
             "WEB": "<notification_text>",
         }),
         MessageStructure: "json",
         TargetArn: "<endpoint_ARN>",
     }),
 );
 console.log("Message ID:", response["MessageId"]);
} catch (e) {
 console.log("Error:", e)
}

Use the HTTP API publish method for the Yandex Cloud Notification Service Publish resource.
