botas
A lightweight, multi-language library for building Microsoft Teams bots — this is the core Python package.
For zero-boilerplate FastAPI hosting, see
botas-fastapi.
Installation
pip install botas
Quick start (with FastAPI)
from botas import BotApplication
from botas_fastapi import bot_auth_dependency
from fastapi import Depends, FastAPI, Request
bot = BotApplication()
@bot.on("message")
async def on_message(ctx):
await ctx.send(f"You said: {ctx.activity.text}")
app = FastAPI()
@app.post("/api/messages", dependencies=[Depends(bot_auth_dependency())])
async def messages(request: Request):
body = await request.body()
await bot.process_body(body.decode())
return {}
Or use the higher-level botas-fastapi wrapper for a simpler setup:
from botas_fastapi import BotApp
app = BotApp()
@app.on("message")
async def on_message(ctx):
await ctx.send(f"You said: {ctx.activity.text}")
app.start()
