Skyweb 2 IRC

Current status

This bridge stopped working in 2020 following a change in the skype web API.

I rewrote it from scratch in Python, as a Limnoria plugin: https://github.com/ProgVal/Supybot-plugins/tree/master/SkypeRelay

Install and configure

  1. Dependencies: npm install skyweb irc html-entities striptags
  2. mv config.js.template config.js
  3. Edit config.js to configure it. If you don't know the conversation ID, leave it unknown. Otherwise, skip step 4.
  4. Run nodejs skyweb2irc.js and send a message in the chat using your Skype client. Copy-paste the value printed by skyweb2irc as the value of skype_conversation_id.
  5. Run nodejs skyweb2irc.js

What is this?

It is a small bot relaying messages between an IRC channel and a Skype group chat.

I wrote it because Skype suddenly decided to break its API, so my skype2irc bot did not work anymore.

Features

Skype -> IRC

  • text messages, with edits and decoding of format tags
  • image upload (files are not supported, see #6)
  • topic and picture update
  • member addition and removal
  • deterministic nick coloration

IRC -> Skype

  • text messages, with URLs, decoding of format characters, and stripping color codes
  • CTCP ACTION (ie. /me)
  • channel joins
  • channel parts
  • quits
  • topic updates

Why did you write it using node.js?

I found a library for Skype written for node.js, Skyweb.
