new facebook api - FIXED !!! about fbchat

[thekindlyone]

@Bravo111 check #56 .. fixed image sending problem. Forgot to do the api change fixes for images. Also added example in readme.
Basically

    client.sendLocalImage(friend.uid,message='<message text>',image='<path/to/image/file>') # send local image
    imgurl = "http://i.imgur.com/LDQ2ITV.jpg"
    client.sendRemoteImage(friend.uid,message='<message text>', image=imgurl) # send image from image url

getting the same problem..log in is ok but when sending message im just getting False response

[Schmavery]

Hey guys, our api just died too because facebook changed their endpoint for sending messages. Feel free to check out this for a fix.
Basically remove message_batch[0] from these and change the sendurl to https://www.facebook.com/messaging/send/ and I'd imagine it will work.

[Kobito123]

thx alot =)
EDIT: I deletet all the " message_batch[0] " in the client.py and changed https://www.facebook.com/ajax/mercury/send_messages.php to https://www.facebook.com/messaging/send/

but it still doesnt work :/ what am I missing?

EDIT2: it fixed their api with these changes hm :/

Can youd be more precise @Schmavery please ?
I have the same issue. Tried what you said, didn't work.
Thanks !

[Schmavery]

Sorry guys, I don't actually work on the python version of this api, I was just trying to give some relevant tips. A good rule of thumb is to try the operation in a browser and compare the request that gets sent there to the one that the api is sending 😄 good luck!

[Kobito123]

thx alot for the help @Schmavery <3

[gbip]

@Kobito123 did you solved it ? I tried fixing it by following what has been done on the javascript version of the API, but i can't make it work...

[Kobito123]

@gbip @carpedm20 not yet :/

[chrisjohneder]

how about these? it seems it's working but could not implement on client.py

[Kobito123]

Did anyone fix it ? :)

[stefanhdao]

Any updates on this? I've been trying to edit the CLient myself but not a whole lot of luck to get it working.

[thekindlyone]

I tried to replicate the js version commits that made it work again. 404. :(

How do you get error logs on this.. like the js project has?

[stefanhdao]

I'm not sure but I was just printing out the response and it just says we're hitting an invalid page. Maybe there is a setting that we are not sending that the js version does.

This is a sample working payload(from a comment in the js project)
@stefanhdao Do you know why there are quotes in some keys and not in others?

[stefanhdao]

I didn't notice that, this is what their code looks like. Let me do a little more digging.

var form = {

      'client' : 'mercury',
      'action_type' : 'ma-type:user-generated-message',
      'author' : 'fbid:' + ctx.userID,
      'timestamp' : Date.now(),
      'timestamp_absolute' : 'Today',
      'timestamp_relative' : utils.generateTimestampRelative(),
      'timestamp_time_passed' : '0',
      'is_unread' : false,
      'is_cleared' : false,
      'is_forward' : false,
      'is_filtered_content' : false,
      'is_filtered_content_bh':false,
      'is_filtered_content_account':false,
      'is_filtered_content_quasar':false,
      'is_filtered_content_invalid_app':false,
      'is_spoof_warning' : false,
      'source' : 'source:chat:web',
      'source_tags[0]' : 'source:chat',
      'body' : msg.body ? msg.body.toString() : "",
      'html_body' : false,
      'ui_push_phase' : 'V3',
      'status' : '0',
      'offline_threading_id' : messageAndOTID,
      'message_id' : messageAndOTID,
      'threading_id': utils.generateThreadingID(ctx.clientID),
      'ephemeral_ttl_mode:': '0',
      'manual_retry_cnt' : '0',
      'has_attachment' : !!(msg.attachment || msg.url || msg.sticker),
      'signatureID' : utils.getSignatureID(),
    };

[thekindlyone]

I fixed it! Wait. lemme send a pull request.

[thekindlyone]

@stefanhdao check PR

[chrisjohneder]

working again thanks

[Bravo111]

And how to send images and files now?

[Bravo111]

Thank you, @thekindlyone. Could you also answer, how can I recieve images and stickers with api?

[thekindlyone]

@Bravo111 , I don't think it is working at the moment. Open a new issue will you?

EDIT: I know what the problem is now, somewhat. Will fix later. But none of this stuff is being merged.. maybe I should wait till @carpedm20 shows up.

[thekindlyone]

@Bravo111 check #61. It should solve your issue.
