The `prowl` platform uses [Prowl](https://www.prowlapp.com/) to deliver push notifications from Home Assistant to your iOS device.

Go to the [Prowl website](https://www.prowlapp.com/) and create a new API key.

To add Prowl notifications to your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:

```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
notify:
  - name: NOTIFIER_NAME
    platform: prowl
    api_key: YOUR_API_KEY
```

{% configuration %}
name:
  description: Setting the optional parameter `name` allows multiple notifiers to be created. The notifier will bind to the service `notify.NOTIFIER_NAME`.
  required: false
  default: notify
  type: string
api_key:
  description: The Prowl API key to use.
  required: true
  type: string
{% endconfiguration %}
