Lark OpenAPI SDK for Python

Feishu OpenPlatform Server SDK for Python

中文

The Feishu Open Platform provides server-side APIs for messaging, contacts, approval, sheets, Base, and many other product capabilities. This SDK wraps the repeated platform work around API calls, including token management, request signing, encryption/decryption, event dispatching, and typed request/response models.

Installation

pip install lark-oapi

Python 3.8 or later is required.

Basic Usage

import lark_oapi as lark
from lark_oapi.api.im.v1 import *

client = lark.Client.builder() \
    .app_id("cli_xxx") \
    .app_secret("your_app_secret") \
    .build()

request = CreateMessageRequest.builder() \
    .receive_id_type("chat_id") \
    .request_body(CreateMessageRequestBody.builder()
        .receive_id("oc_xxx")
        .msg_type("text")
        .content("{\"text\":\"hello world\"}")
        .build()) \
    .build()

response = client.im.v1.message.create(request)

Channel Module

lark_oapi.channel is a high-level module built on top of the OpenAPI client and event transport. It bundles event listening, message normalization, safety policy, outbound sending, media upload/download, card interactions, and streaming replies into a single FeishuChannel entry point.

Use Channel when you are building a conversational bot that needs normalized message events, replies, media handling, card callbacks, mention policy, or WebSocket/webhook transport management.

import asyncio
import os

from lark_oapi.channel import FeishuChannel

channel = FeishuChannel(
    app_id=os.environ["LARK_APP_ID"],
    app_secret=os.environ["LARK_APP_SECRET"],
)

async def on_message(msg):
    await channel.send(
        msg.chat_id,
        {"text": f"echo: {msg.content_text}"},
    )

channel.on("message", on_message)

asyncio.run(channel.connect())
