fbchat - Facebook Messenger for Python

Description of the problem

I have created a messenger chatbot, and suddenly all of it's functions stopped working today since they are based on the 'onMessage' function.

Even the most basic setup containing "onMessage" doesn't work:

Code to reproduce

from fbchat import Client
from fbchat.models import *
import pickle
import time

import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

with open('/home/pi/Documents/FBBotV4/data/pass.txt', 'rt') as pass_txt:
    passwd = pass_txt

class Client(Client):
    def onMessage(self, message_object, **kwargs):
        print(message_object)

client = Client('[...]', passwd)
client.listen()

However, this works and sends messages normally:

Working Code

from fbchat import Client
from fbchat.models import *
import pickle
import time

import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

with open('/home/pi/Documents/FBBotV4/data/pass.txt', 'rt') as pass_txt:
    passwd = pass_txt

client = Client('[...]', passwd)

client.send(Message(text='$> test'), thread_id='[...]', thread_type=ThreadType.GROUP)

Environment information

• Python version: Python 3.7.3
• fbchat version: 1.8.3

Hey guys, I use fbchat for a couple of weeks now and everything worked fine.

But since 23h I can't send any msg :/

import fbchat client = fbchat.Client("....", ".....") sent = client.send(100001986531748, "test123") if sent: print("Message sent successfully!") print("nope! test")

In cmd:

D:\Spiele\TEST>python test.py Logging in... nope! test

When loggin in the fbacc, I can msg everyone without a problem. Furthermore I can get the last messages sent without a problem

Any ideas ? Sorry I am new to python

thx in advance <3

Hi guys! Is it possible to make a fb bot alike with this code? I need something that will listen constanly to messages and on type of message send it to client. Something like jarvis fb bot, but without using heroku etc.

Thanks!

I can't send messages to anyone since today (it was sending messages normally until yesterday). In the send method r.ok is False. Is it happening with anyone else?

getThreadList() gives me an error in python 3.4. It was fixed by changing

https://github.com/carpedm20/fbchat/blob/master/fbchat/client.py#L224

 t = Thread(thread)

to

 t = Thread(**thread)

(I can fork and fix it if needed, unless you guys have already fixed it)

I've changed the test suite from using unittest to using pytest, and reworked it, so that we can test when onX events were successfully executed. Though I haven't reworked all parts, just adding these extra tests lead me to the discovery of several bugs and unexpected behaviour.

There's admittedly great part of the test code that still has redundancy, but it's getting closer to an acceptable state.

I've tinkered with TravisCI configuration, and I think it's now at a point where it's pretty stable. The main reason for using TravisCI is primarily to detect python 2/3 issues, and changes on Facebook's side.

So, @carpedm20, I need you to setup a Travis project and add either a Github integration or a webhook, and then set the following settings:

Build only if .travis.yml is present -> true
Limit concurrent jobs -> true, set to 1 (This one is the most important, since the clients can't be used by two jobs at once)
Build pushed branches -> true
Build pushed pull requests -> true
Auto Cancellation (Both) -> true
Cron job: master, daily, "Do not run if there has been a build in the last 24h"

I'd also like you to setup a RTFD Webhook with Github, so the docs are automatically built, just something I never got around to asking you to do. You should have access to the project on RTFD

Lastly you can, if you want to, set some branch protections on master, preventing force pushes definitely should be enabled, but you can choose to require status checks and such.

Note: I initally set this off to v2.0.0, but I decided against that, and made it now, so that the jump to v2.0.0 is smaller

Is there any possibility to get the thread_id out of the JSON? Would be useful for writing a bot that can interact with multiple users in a single group conversation.

Please mark it as question.

How long I can leave my bot logged in and running on VPS? I know that you can’t tell me exact number of hours/days but I want to know if I have to log out, once per day for example, to not get banned by Facebook.

Should I use some method to log out and log in once per X or maybe log in with cookies to make it more like real person, instead of a bot that is running 24/7?

Hi,

getting error while uploading local png image. PS : I am using Python 2.7.x

i tried to compare payload with facebook messenger running in a browser and payload seems to be the same except of the missing __dyn argument. can it be related?

I used this package, and there's a bug on it. So I try to debug it first, and It's working now. r.text.split('"client_revision":', 1)[1].split(",", 1)[0] ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException on ('"client_revision":', 1)[1]

from fbchat import Client

Hello, I am trying to use the module, first with python 3.10 for windows and now downgraded to 3.7, but the error was unaffected.

Please see details below, I have verified username and password for facebook, and tried two accounts. Passwords do not contain %

I know this project is unmaintained, but maybe someone figured out how to sent these. Basically sending every other media by url works (images, videoclips), but when it's trying to send AudioAttachments, it just hangs forever.
