You will need the token from Pushbullet settings page and copy it to the code.
For the test project use the following design (items are with default names):
- Form
- Button
- RichTextBox
Imports needed for the code:
Imports System
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Net
Imports System.Text
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim token As String = " **** your token from Pushbullet ****"
Dim title As String = "Title goes here"
Dim body As String = "Message body goes here"
Try
' Create a request using a URL that can receive a post.'
Dim Request As HttpWebRequest = CType(WebRequest.Create("https://api.pushbullet.com/v2/pushes"), HttpWebRequest)
' Set the Method property of the request to POST.'
Request.Method = "POST"
' Create POST data and convert it to a byte array.'
Dim postData As String = "{""type"": ""note"", ""title"": """ & title & """, ""body"": """ & body & """}"
Dim byteArray As Byte() = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(postData)
' Set the ContentLength property of the WebRequest.'
Request.ContentLength = byteArray.Length
' Set the ContentType property of the WebRequest.'
Request.ContentType = "application/json"
' Add the token to header.'
Request.Headers.Add("Access-Token", token)
' Get the request stream.'
Dim dataStream As Stream = Request.GetRequestStream()
' Write the data to the request stream.'
dataStream.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length)
' Close the Stream object.'
dataStream.Close()
' Get the response.'
Dim response As WebResponse = Request.GetResponse()
' Get the stream containing content returned by the server.'
dataStream = response.GetResponseStream()
' Open the stream using a StreamReader for easy access.'
Dim reader As New StreamReader(dataStream)
' Read the content.'
Dim responseFromServer As String = reader.ReadToEnd()
' Show result in RichTextBox.'
RichTextBox1.Text = responseFromServer
' Clean up the streams.'
reader.Close()
dataStream.Close()
response.Close()
' Error handling - write to Immediate window with debug.print'
Catch a As ArgumentException
Debug.Print(a.Message)
Catch a As WebException
Debug.Print(a.Message)
If a.Status = WebExceptionStatus.ProtocolError Then
Debug.Print("Status Code : {0}", CType(a.Response, HttpWebResponse).StatusCode)
Debug.Print("Status Description : {0}", CType(a.Response, HttpWebResponse).StatusDescription)
Debug.Print("Server : {0}", CType(a.Response, HttpWebResponse).Server)
End If
Catch a As Exception
Debug.Print(a.Message)
End Try
End Sub
