Morrison |Build Status|
===========================

- ``send_text_message(recipient_id, message)``
- ``send_message(recipient_id, message)``
- ``send_generic_message(recipient_id, elements)``
- ``send_button_message(recipient_id, text, buttons)``
- ``send_attachment(recipient_id, attachment_type, attachment_path)``
- ``send_attachment_url(recipient_id, attachment_type, attachment_url)``
- ``send_quick_reply(recipient_id, text, buttons) ``
- ``send_image(recipient_id, image_path)``
- ``send_image_url(recipient_id, image_url)``
- ``send_audio(recipient_id, audio_path)``

- ``send_raw(payload)``
- ``get_user_info(recipient_id)``

You can see the code/documentation for there in
`bot.py <Morrison/bot.py>`__.

The functions return the full JSON body of the actual API call to
Facebook.

Register for an Access Token
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You'll need to setup a `Facebook
App <https://developers.facebook.com/apps/>`__, Facebook Page, get the
Page Access Token and link the App to the Page before you can really
start to use the Send/Receive service.

`This quickstart guide should
help <https://developers.facebook.com/docs/messenger-platform/quickstart>`__

Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. code:: bash

pip install Morrison
or
pip3 install Morrison

Usage
~~~~~

.. code:: python

from Morrison.bot import Bot

bot = Bot(<access_token>, [optional: app_secret])
bot.send_text_message(recipient_id, message)

**Note**: From Facebook regarding User IDs

These ids are page-scoped. These ids differ from those returned from
Facebook Login apps which are app-scoped. You must use ids retrieved
from a Messenger integration for this page in order to function
properly.

If ``app_secret`` is initialized, an app\_secret\_proof will be
generated and send with every request. Appsecret Proofs helps
further secure your client access tokens. You can find out more on
the `Facebook
Docs <https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/securing-requests#appsecret_proof>`__

Sending a generic template message:
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

`Generic Template
Messages <https://developers.facebook.com/docs/messenger-platform/implementation#receive_message>`__
allows you to add cool elements like images, text all in a single
bubble.

.. code:: python

from Morrison.bot import Bot
from Morrison import Element
bot = Bot(<access_token>)
elements = []
element = Element(title="test", image_url="<arsenal_logo.png>", subtitle="subtitle", item_url="http://arsenal.com")
elements.append(element)

bot.send_generic_message(recipient_id, elements)

Output:
