Dear @orzechszek,

thank you for writing in. Can I humbly ask you to submit a corresponding patch? We will be very happy to accept any patches which improve the situation on this.

With kind regards,
Andreas.

Hi again,

according to [1], the development/release of the upcoming version 2.0.0 has stalled a bit. So, I figure the current implementation would be still functional?

mqttwarn can be installed with the fbchat package by invoking:

pip install mqttwarn[fbchat]

With kind regards,
Andreas.

Hi,

I have a problem with running fbchat module with version 2.0.0a5. I'm getting:

Cannot invoke service for `fbchat'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/mqttwarn/lib/python3.8/site-packages/mqttwarn/core.py", line 502, in processor
    module = service_plugins[service]['module']
KeyError: 'module'

Hi again,

while I can't verify the whole process, I believe the most recent stable version, fbchat==1.9.7 could still work. On my machine, it only croaks because of wrong credentials, where I am lacking to provide real ones.

On the other hand, when upgrading fbchat by invoking pip install fbchat==2.0.0a5, mqttwarn would error out with

2021-09-29 18:53:02,773 ERROR    [mqttwarn.core             ] Unable to load service "fbchat" from file "/Users/amo/dev/daq-tools/sources/mqttwarn/mqttwarn/services/fbchat.py": No module named 'fbchat.models'

That obviously shows that the current implementation of the service adapter, mqttwarn/services/fbchat.py, is not compatible with fbchat>=2.0 yet, right?

Maybe you can outline what is wrong with the stable version fbchat==1.9.7?

With kind regards,
Andreas.

Dear @orzechszek,

fbchat-dev/fbchat@916a14062d added an "unmaintained" notice, where fbchat-dev/fbchat#613 has some further discussions.

From there, I also discovered https://github.com/tulir/fbchat-asyncio, https://github.com/JuniorJPDJ/messenger_api, and https://github.com/Schmavery/facebook-chat-api.

Apparently, Facebook now has an official API for chat bots, the »Meta« Messenger Platform. It looks like the HTTP calls outlined on [1,2] would be the right way to submit messages these days.

With kind regards,
Andreas.

Hi again,

as I don't see any future and sense in making the fbchat module work again, we may want to remove it altogether, right? In order to carry on the discussion about a successor service plugin, I've just created #579.

Therefore, I am closing this issue now. Feel free to reopen if you think it is not appropriate.

With kind regards,
Andreas.

Buen dia, hablo español

Me parece muy triste no continuar con el proyecto ya que estoy en un proyecto personal donde responde mensajes por Markeplace de facebook y la api oficial de Facebook no funciona solo de manera empresarial. He dedicado mucho exfuerzo y tiempo para entender esta excelente libreria utilizo la version 1.9 y me funciona muy bien. Si puedo colaborar en algo me pueden comentar.
