How do I configure a third party service that supports apprise to use one of my stored configs?

I've setup apprise-api with my very useful configurations and have been using the notify endpoint happily.

Now I am trying to configure changedetection.io to use this but it does support apprise directly. My understanding from the docs is that I can get the specific configuration with the /get/$config endpoint and import that as the configuration for the apprise CLI. The problem I'm seeing is that the /get/$config endpoint needs a POST, not a GET to return the config.

Maybe I'm tackling this the work way, my question could be more generic:

Once I have some configurations in apprise-api, how can I use the apprise CLI from another box to send the notifications?

I would just use the AppriseAPI plugin (apprise://) built into Apprise.

So in your case:

• apprise://your.apprise.server/token

If you need to trigger a tag specifically that you've setup:

• apprise://your.apprise.server/token?tags=devops

If you password protected this:

• apprise://user:pass@your.apprise.server/token?tags=devops

I just realised that the instructions were on the web UI itself:

# Use Apprise to retrieve your configuration:
apprise --body="test message" --config=https://apprise-api.url/get/KEY

And I think the reason why my experiments failed was because I use a custom CA for my https certificate. I already made it work with the usual REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE/SSL_CERT_FILE trick.

However, now looking at the plugin suggestion, I think it's finer-grained and more like what I want to use. Thanks @caronc!
