Firebase Cloud Messaging via REST API using PHP

This repository contains a PHP script to send Firebase Cloud Messages (FCM) via the REST API. It includes both the generation of an OAuth2 access token using a Google service account key and the sending of FCM messages.

Instructions

1. Clone the Repository

   git clone https://github.com/tharushaudana/fcm-send-with-oauth2-php.git

2. Edit Service Account Key Path

   In access_token.php, replace the placeholder with the path to your Google service account key JSON file:

   $creds = file_get_contents('path/to/your/service-account-key.json');

3. Edit FCM Data

   In index.php, edit the FCM data to suit your needs. Change the validate_only parameter to true if you only want to validate the request without sending a message:

   $firebase_data = [
       'validate_only' => false,
       'message' => [
           'topic' => 'user_4',
           'notification' => [
               'title' => 'test title',
               'body' => 'test body',
           ],
           'android' => [
               'collapse_key' => 'type_a',
           ],
           'data' => [
               'test' => 'test value'
           ]
       ]
   ];

4. Load index.php Using a Web Server

   Ensure you are running a web server, then load index.php to send the FCM message.
