Nextcloud Talk Notifications

Account Setup

The official Nextcloud Talk app will need to be installed. An 'app password' (also referred to as 'device-specific' password/token) of one member of the chat will need to be created, see the documentation for more information. Don't forget to disable file system access for this password.

Syntax

Secure connections (via https) should be referenced using nctalks:// where as insecure connections (via http) should be referenced via nctalk://.

Valid syntaxes are as follows:

  • nctalk://{user}:{password}@{hostname}/{room_id}
  • nctalk://{user}:{password}@{hostname}:{port}/{room_id}
  • nctalks://{user}:{password}@{hostname}/{room_id}
  • nctalks://{user}:{password}@{hostname}:{port}/{room_id}

You can post in multiple chats by simply chaining them at the end of the URL.

  • nctalk://{user}:{password}@{hostname}:{port}/{room_id1}/{room_id2}/{room_id3}
  • nctalks://{user}:{password}@{hostname}:{port}/{room_id1}/{room_id2}/{room_id3}

Parameter Breakdown

Variable Required Description
hostname Yes The hostname of the server hosting your Nextcloud service.
user Yes The user of the nextcloud service you have set up.
password Yes The password associated with the user for your Nextcloud account.
room_id Yes The room_id of Nextcloud Talk.

Example

Send a secure nextcloud talk message to the room 93nfkdn3:

# Assuming our {host} is localhost
# Assuming our {user} is user1
# Assuming our (user1) {password} is 12345-67890-12345-67890-12345:
apprise nctalks://user1:12345-67890-12345-67890-12345@localhost/93nfkdn3

Header Manipulation

Some users may require special HTTP headers to be present when they post their data to their server. This can be accomplished by just sticking a hyphen (-) in front of any parameter you specify on your URL string.

# Below would set the header:
#    X-Token: abcdefg
#
# We want to send an insecure connection (we'll use ncloud://)
# Assuming our {host} is localhost
# Assuming our {user} is user1
# Assuming our (user1) {password} is 12345-67890-12345-67890-12345
# We want to notify Room _93nfkdn3_:
apprise -vv -t "Test Message Title" -b "Test Message Body" \
   nctalks://user1:12345-67890-12345-67890-12345@localhost/93nfkdn3?-X-Token=abcdefg

# Multiple headers just require more entries defined with a hyphen in front:
# Below would set the headers:
#    X-Token: abcdefg
#    X-Apprise: is great
#
# Assuming our {host} is localhost
# Assuming our {user} is user1
# Assuming our (user1) {password} is 12345-67890-12345-67890-12345
# We want to notify Room _93nfkdn3_:
apprise -vv -t "Test Message Title" -b "Test Message Body" \
   nctalks://user1:12345-67890-12345-67890-12345@localhost/arnold?-X-Token=abcdefg&-X-Apprise=is%20great
