You can test sending messages using the FCM REST API by sending a request through cURL.
curl --header "Authorization: key=<API_KEY>" \
--header Content-Type:"application/json" \
https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send \
-d "{\"registration_ids\":[\"ABC\"]}"
Syntax retrieved from here.
The API_KEY
indicated above is referring to the Server Key that can be seen in your Firebase Console's Cloud Messaging Tab.
The part where:
"{\"registration_ids\":[\"ABC\"]}"
is, can be replaced with your own payload. See the FCM HTTP Protocol Documentation for more details.
