Advanced tools
Python Wrapper to various APIs from Facebook Messenger Platform.
Various components used when sending messages in Facebook Messenger are wrapped into Python objects to make them reusable and easy to use.
git clone https://github.com/krishna2206/messenger-api-python.git
python -m build
pip install <package_name>.whl
Package from Pypi.org may not be the latest one, if you want the latest version of this package, install it from the GitHub repository (see above)
pip install messenger-api-python
from messengerapi import SendApi
send_api = SendApi(<page_access_token>)
send_api.send_text_message(<message>, <recipient_id>)
Note: From Facebook regarding User IDs
These ids are page-scoped. These ids differ from those returned from Facebook Login apps which are app-scoped. You must use ids retrieved from a Messenger integration for this page in order to function properly.
If
app_secret
is initialized, an app_secret_proof will be generated and send with every request. Appsecret Proofs helps further secure your client access tokens. You can find out more on the Facebook Docs
Generic Template Messages allows you to add cool elements like images, text all in a single bubble.
from messengerapi import SendApi
from messengerapi.components import Elements, Element, Buttons, Button, POSTBACK
send_api = SendApi(<page_access_token>)
elements = Elements()
buttons = Buttons()
button = Button(button_type=POSTBACK, title="My button")
buttons.add_button(button.get_content())
element = Element(title="My element", subtitle="The element's subtitle, image_url=<image_url>, buttons=buttons)
elements.add_element(element.get_content())
send_api.send_generic_message(elements.get_content() , recipient_id , image_aspect_ratio="horizontal")
from messengerapi import SendApi
send_api = SendApi(<page_access_token>)
# To send an image
send_api.send_image_attachment(<image_url> , <recipient_id>)
