Just use pip, as you would with all packages
.. code-block:: bash
$ pip install messenger-api
There's no docs, I'm sorry. Some day I'll do it.
Simple example of sending message to thread
.. code-block:: python
>>> from messenger_api import Messenger
>>> msg = Messenger('login', 'password')
>>> thread = msg.get_thread(485734986798)
>>> thread
<messenger_api.Thread.GroupThread: "Random chat name" (485734986798)>
>>> thread.send_message("TEST MESSAGE!")
<messenger_api.Message.Message object at 0x000000262414AFD0>
Message sent! :)
Soon you will be able to find some examples in examples directory
I will appriciate pull requests, but if you want to help you even can just let me know that it stopped working.. I'm not using this library at everyday use and I don't have time to check if Facebook made any changes that breaks compatibility.
