APNS provider that parses data to send

I would like to create a serv开发者_开发百科ice that parses data from a feed and then sends notifications to subscribed units.

And I'm note sure how to approach this problem. Would be thankful for any advice.

If you're going to be sending less than 1,000,000 push messages per month (greater than that amount you would have to pay), I'd look into UrbanAirship . They have something called a feed feature that does this:

Urban Airship has a feature where we will monitor an RSS or Atom feed and send a push notification when a new entry is published. We allow you to set up a template to extract items from the feed to dynamically generate push notifications with content from the new entry. You can easily set this up from the interface at https://go.urbanairship.com/ , but this API allows you to programmatically create them.

So, that might work for you. Or, you can look into setting up your own server that runs a script, parsing your feeds. Then you can use Easy APNs to send the messages yourself. I'm using it and it works perfectly for my needs. For me the learning cure was steep because I'd never done anything besides Obj-C, but it ended up being quite easy to learn.
