The Expo Push Notifications API is a free, universal push notification service provided by the Expo React Native framework. It abstracts away the complex configuration of Apple Push Notification service (APNs) and Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) credentials into a single HTTPS POST endpoint.

Because the vast majority of Nigerian cross-platform mobile apps are built using React Native and Expo, this API allows developers to send transactional alerts, payment receipt notifications, and marketing updates to iOS and Android devices using a standard Expo Push Token.
