When fbchat listening than you open the Facebook mobile page, the FB server will not send regular message json. it send something like following:
{u'ofd_ts': 1454312455400, u'iseq': 29739, u'type': u'delta', u'delta': {u'body': u'message body', u'irisSeqId': u'29739', u'class': u'NewMessage', u'attachments': [], u'messageMetadata': {u'tags': [u'source:chat:web'], u'actorFbId': u'100000077777777', u'messageId': u'mid.1454312455555:405655314e52eaddddd', u'offlineThreadingId': u'6099828631999999999', u'timestamp': u'1454312455379', u'threadKey': {u'otherUserFbId': u'100000060666666'}}}}

It's should be put in on_message, but it contains no name.

Hi guys, does this method still work?
I tried logging in, and sending a message to a given thread_id, but got a response code 500.

Any reason that might do that?

Hi,
I used the example from README, but it doesn't work at all. Can you give me some advices? My code is as follows:

import fbchat
client = fbchat.Client("MY_ID", "MY_PASSWORD")
friends = client.getUsers("Ning")  # I tried a friend's name
friend = friends[0]

After executing the code, it shows the following error messages:

friends = client.getUsers('Ning')
File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/fbchat/client.py", line 189, in getUsers
File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/fbchat/utils.py", line 18, in get_json

obj, end = self.scan_once(s, idx)

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?

I am getting this error

Logging in...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\jerem\Source\Repos\FBChatBot\FBChatBot\FBChatBot\FBChatBot.py", line 8, in

KeyError: 'actions'
Press any key to continue . . .

and this is my code

import fbchat, json

with open("data/user.json") as user:
bot = json.load(user)

client = fbchat.Client(bot["username"], bot["password"])

last_messages = client.getThreadInfo(bot["chatID"],0)

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)

How would I listen for a message?

for this there seems to be a problem when sending messages of more than 20000 characters? I was doing a binary search to find the limit and the send function returns true even though the message didn't show up in the messenger

Hello
I am using Python x64 3.4.3 on Windows 8.1. When I try to run the sample code you provided, I face the following error.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "S:\Dev\python\fbchat.py", line 1, in <module>
    import fbchat
  File "S:\Dev\python\fbchat.py", line 3, in <module>
    client = fbchat.Client("YOUR_ID", "YOUR_PASSWORD")
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Client'

The interesting thing is that your lib works perfectly when I run the same code in the Python shell. But when I save the code in a file script.py and call python script.py, it gives me the error.

Every time i am trying to login ,this error occurs.
client = fbchat.Client("User****Name", "password")
File "~/VirtualEnvironments/PythonApi/lib/python2.7/site-packages/fbchat/client.py", line 68, in init
self.data = data
NameError: global name 'data' is not defined

Now this work with Friend name but it is possible to work with facebook link and how.

friends = client.getUsers("FRIEND'S NAME")  # return a list of names
friend = friends[0]
sent = client.send(friend.uid, "Your Message")

for example like this.

friends = client.getUsers("https://www.facebook.com/MyProfile")  # return a User_Id
friend = friends[0]
sent = client.send(friend.uid, "Your Message")

Hi,

After smoothly use for few days, I found fbchat stop pull new message.
When the _pullMessage in listen function return content, it actually return following string:

'for (;;); {"t":"refresh","reason":110,"seq":0}'

It may be mean reload page is required in browser, but have no idea how to do in requests session.

Thanks.

When I entered a name into getUsers (example: client.getUsers("person")), it gave an error pointing to line 18 in utils.py which contains
return json.loads(re.sub(r"for.*(.*;.*;.*).*;", '', text.encode('utf-8').decode("unicode-escape"), 1))
with the error message saying ValueError: Expecting ',' delimiter: line 1 column 69 (char 68)

This continued for repeated users but another user I searched for gave a slightly different error message
ValueError: No JSON object could be decoded

When images without text body is sent, it just called on_message_error and not on_message making users unable to handle them.

Getting the following error from the listen() function.

Hello all,

I'm using the echobot in a seperate thread of a python file. The threading looks something like this code under. When running the python file it is able to log in to Facebook and echo messages. But script1 isn't running at all, it seems like Echobot is the only thing running. Even if the script is a simple print function it won't run. Am I missing something or is my code just wrong?

if name== 'main':
p1 = threading.Thread(target = script1 )
p1.start()
p2 = threading.Thread(target = EchoBot("", "").listen )
p2.start()

Thanks!

Hi devs,

Is it possible to send attachments or pictures with fbchat?
If it's possible, how can I do that?

Hi,

I have one problem with the fbchat.
Well ... when I send a message to a friend of mine that I have already spoken, the message arrives perfectly. The problem is when I try to send a message to a friend of mine that I never talked on facebook. The method returns True, but the message does not arrive.

Can anybody help me?

You just get

raise Exception("id or password is wrong")

in response. Password and ID are definitely correct because I double-checked them by direct copy and paste via browser.

If two-factor and code generator are disabled, it works but gives the "data" error that is listed as another issue in the issue tracker.

I using Python 3.4.3 64 bit for windows 8. I using
pip install fbchat
but install error.
No distributions at all found for bs4 (from fbchat)

After the fix proposed by @Charliiee I wrote this code, his purpose is to use a list of person to send them a message (today's agenda):

Tabl=[List of people name]
for index, item in enumerate(Tabl, start=0):
    friends=client.getUsers(item)
    friend=friends[0]
    az = open(os.path.join(File location),'a')   #Keeping people userid for reference and futur use.
    message=friend.uid
    az.write(str(message)+'\n')
az.close()

with open(os.path.join(location of userid file), 'r') as f:
    for line in f:
        with open(os.path.join(file location of the message), 'r') as e:
            for lined in e:
                line=re.sub(r"\W", "", line)
                sent = client.send(line, lined)
                if sent==False:
                    print line
                    sent=False

I've noticed 2 things with this code:

• People that never sent a message to the account won't receive the message.
• Even like that not everyone will receive the message (while sent is always True).

Is there a limit of message that can be sent? Do I need people to often message the bot?

I'm not familiar enough with the API to know whether that's already possible, but instead of searching for a particular user with its name or UID, it would be great to have ALL users returned into a list (particularly if we have their status without additional queries).

Getting this error (I subclassed the Client class and cloned this library into my repo) when trying to login. Anyone else hitting this error?

When fbchat start listen() and a like notification has push in, fbchat would receive a very long json string. It told you are "liked".
However there are some problems in the json string, and cause json.load() error.
It contains double quote in json value in 2 element. One is the "__html", which contains html code.
Another one is the "tracking" element, which contains another json code.

I have no idea how to fix it.

If a group_id is given and the message type of "group" passed in, it fails to send a message to anybody and returns a 200.

GetThreadInfo does not work in group chats.

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

need documentation

on_message is not triggering message read notifications for other users in group chats.

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?

Hi,
I found when sending message to a group chat, the following line should not be exist:
'message_batch[0][specific_to_list][0]' : 'fbid:' + str(thread_id),
'message_batch[0][specific_to_list][1]' : 'fbid:' + str(self.uid),
Those lines are client.py line 211 and 212.

However, I do not know how to determine group or personal chat via thread_id only.
Maybe additional argument is required in send().

The login works, I can send messages and retrieve friends, but receiving messages while listening is not firing the on_message method. Am I doing something wrong?

client = Client(username, password)
client.listen()

in parseMessage the content coming in is always {u'reason': 110, u't': u'refresh', u'seq': 0} and therefore on_message is never fired.

I googled a bit and I found defaultnamehere/zzzzz#25
Someone here thinks getting new cookies will help.

SOLUTION:

add "clientid": self.client_id, in the dict data in Client._pullMessage method in client.py

Hello,
After providing correct id/pass this exception occurs:

Any ideas?

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.

The call to self._post(SendURL, data) in Client.send() is returning a 404 error. After comparing it with captured requests from messenger.com and facebook.com, the request URL matches neither; is https://www.facebook.com/ajax/mercury/send_messages.php still correct?

All other functionality seems to be fine except for sending messages. This occurs for both group and individual conversations.

I'm slogging through the code here and maybe I'm just missing something obvious, but is there a way to get the ThreadID in the on_message function? The author_id is available (while author_name is generally not) but when trying to reply, it would be useful to reply into the same thread.

Most features work fine, but Client.send() always returns False with no message being sent. Comparing the POST requests that fbchat makes with those from messenger.com, Messenger's message_batch[0][message_id] parameter is always a single nine-digit number, while fbchat's is not. But I don't know how it's generated or how to make a valid one. Have others noticed this?

def unreadMessages(self):
    thread = self.client.getThreadInfo(self.userid, 0)
    for message in reversed(thread):
        print dir(message)
        #if message.is_unread:
        #    print message.body.encode('cp860', errors='ignore')

As following script above, we have this:

['__doc__', '__init__', '__module__', u'action_type', u'attachments', 
u'author', u'author_email', u'body', u'commerce_message_type', u'customizations',
u'ephemeral_ttl_mode', u'folder', u'forward_count', u'forward_message_ids', 
u'has_attachment', u'is_filtered_content', u'is_filtered_content_account', 
u'is_filtered_content_bh', u'is_filtered_content_invalid_app', u'is_filtered_content_quasar', 
u'is_forward', u'is_sponsored', u'is_spoof_warning', u'is_unread', u'message_id', 
u'meta_ranges', u'offline_threading_id', u'other_user_fbid', u'platform_xmd',

u'thread_fbid', u'thread_id', u'threading_id', u'timestamp', u'timestamp_absolute', 
u'timestamp_datetime', u'timestamp_relative', u'timestamp_time_passed']

Can i get the name/username from message.author? coz, we only got fbid:100007030058882.

is it about this module? do you meet with this error? when i run this on pycharm, there is no error. you can follow my topic on stackoverflow

bug in getThreadList() and getUsers()

TypeError: __repr__ returned non-string (type bytes)

From some tests I ran, it seems like getThreadList does not update when new messages are sent. I had to log in again to get the last messages.
Is it just me, or is this in fact the case?

There's a noticeable delay in each call to get_json. Since the cruft at the beginning is always the same, why not use a slice operation instead of a regex?

I am unable to use this as there is no documentation and the issue talking about it being in the code is just as unhelpful.
