Times Push Notifier

Send push notifications for exclusive articles on The Times' mobile apps via the command line.

How To Use

1. install dependencies with npm install

2. download a private key for the project that you want to notify:

   • The Times - Prod
   • The Times - UAT
   • The Times - Dev
   • The Times Of Ireland - Prod
   • The Times Of Ireland - UAT

   Select "Generate new private key" and download the json file. Rename it to serviceAccountKey.json and put it in the root of this project.

   DO NOT CHECK THIS PRIVATE KEY INTO ANY REPO OR YOU WILL BE FIRED.
