Package fbmsgr provides an API for interacting with Facebook Messenger. The first step is to create a new Messenger session. Do this as follows, replacing "USER" and "PASS" with your Facebook login credentials: Once you are done with a session you have allocated, you should call Close() on it to clear any resources (e.g. goroutines) that it is using. When sending a message, you specify a receiver by their FBID. The receiver may be another user, or it may be a group. For most methods related to message sending, there is one version of the method for a user and one for a group: To send or retract a typing notification, you might do: To send an attachment such as an image or a video, you can do the following: It is easy to receive events such as incoming messages using the ReadEvent method: With the EventStream API, you can get more fine-grained control over how you receive events. For example, you can read the next minute's worth of events like so: You can also create multiple EventStreams and read from different streams in different places. To list the threads (conversations) a user is in, you can use the Threads method to fetch a subset of threads at a time. You can also use the AllThreads method to fetch all the threads at once.
Readme
Reverse engineering Facebook Messenger.
This is a fork of unixpickle/fbmsgr
which contains a modified Session struct with an exposed http.Client, so
that its cookies may be read by other packages.
This is a wrapper around Facebook Messenger's internal AJAX protocol. This wrapper could be used for any number of cool things, such as:
- Tracking your friends' Messenger activity.
- Analyzing your conversations (e.g. keywords analysis)
- Automating "Away" messages
- Creating chat bots
Current status
Currently, the API is fairly reliable and can perform a bunch of basic functionalities. Here is a list of supported features (it may lag slightly behind the master branch):
- Send textual messages to people or groups
- Send attachments to people or groups
- Receive messages with or without attachments
- Send read receipts
- Receive events for incoming messages
- Receive events for friend "Last Active" updates
- Set chat text colors (to arbitrary RGB colors)
- List a user's threads.
- List messages in a thread.
- Send and receive typing events
- Delete messages
TODOs
- Support emojis in threads (i.e. the like button)
- In FullActionLog, remove all duplicates, incase two messages have the same timestamp.
- Emoji/sticker transmission
- Modifying chat preferences (emoji, nicknames, etc.)
- View pending message requests
- Create new group chats
