๐Ÿ›  Installation

# Using pip
pip install linekit

# Using uv
uv pip install linekit

โšก Quick Start

1. Configuration

Set up your LINE channel credentials:

# Environment variables
export LINE_CHANNEL_ACCESS_TOKEN="your_channel_access_token"
export LINE_CHANNEL_SECRET="your_channel_secret"

Or create a .env file:

LINE_CHANNEL_ACCESS_TOKEN=your_channel_access_token
LINE_CHANNEL_SECRET=your_channel_secret

2. Send a Push Message

import asyncio
from line_api import LineAPIConfig, LineMessagingClient, TextMessage

async def send_message():
    # Load configuration
    config = LineAPIConfig.from_env_file()

    # Create message
    message = TextMessage.create("Hello from LINE API! ๐Ÿš€")

    # Send push message
    async with LineMessagingClient(config) as client:
        success = await client.push_message("USER_ID_HERE", [message])
        if success:
            print("Message sent successfully!")

# Run the example
asyncio.run(send_message())

3. Send Multicast Messages

import asyncio
import uuid
from line_api import LineAPIConfig, LineMessagingClient, TextMessage

async def send_multicast():
    # Load configuration
    config = LineAPIConfig.from_env_file()

    # User IDs to send to (get these from webhook events)
    user_ids = [
        "U1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef",  # User ID 1
        "U0987654321fedcba0987654321fedcba",  # User ID 2
        "Uabcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890",  # User ID 3
    ]

    # Create messages (up to 5 messages)
    messages = [
        TextMessage.create("๐ŸŽ‰ Hello everyone!"),
        TextMessage.create("This message was sent to multiple users simultaneously."),
    ]

    async with LineMessagingClient(config) as client:
        # Basic multicast
        success = await client.multicast_message(
            user_ids=user_ids,
            messages=messages,
        )

        if success:
            print(f"โœ… Multicast sent to {len(user_ids)} users!")

        # Advanced multicast with options
        success = await client.multicast_message(
            user_ids=user_ids,
            messages=[TextMessage.create("๐Ÿ“Š Campaign message")],
            notification_disabled=False,  # Users get push notifications
            custom_aggregation_units=["summer_campaign_2024"],  # For analytics
            retry_key=str(uuid.uuid4()),  # For request idempotency
        )

        # Silent multicast (no push notifications)
        success = await client.multicast_message(
            user_ids=user_ids,
            messages=[TextMessage.create("๐Ÿ”‡ Silent update")],
            notification_disabled=True,  # No push notifications
        )

# Run the example
asyncio.run(send_multicast())

4. Create Flex Messages

from line_api import (
    FlexBox,
    FlexBubble,
    FlexLayout,
    FlexMessage,
    FlexText,
    print_flex_json,
)

# Create a simple flex message
def create_welcome_message():
    # Create text components
    title = FlexText.create(
        text="๐ŸŽ‰ Welcome!",
        weight="bold",
        size="xl",
        color="#1E3A8A",
    )

    subtitle = FlexText.create(
        text="Thank you for using our LINE API Integration Library!",
        wrap=True,
        color="#555555",
    )

    # Create a vertical box layout
    body = FlexBox.create(
        layout=FlexLayout.VERTICAL,
        contents=[title, subtitle],
        spacing="md",
        padding_all="20px",
    )

    # Create bubble
    bubble = FlexBubble.create(body=body)

    # Create flex message
    return FlexMessage.create(
        alt_text="Welcome Message",
        contents=bubble,
    )

# Create and export to JSON for testing
message = create_welcome_message()
print_flex_json(message, "Welcome Message")
# JSON is automatically copied to clipboard!
# Paste it into https://developers.line.biz/flex-simulator/

5. Handle LINE Webhooks

from fastapi import FastAPI, Request
from line_api import (
    LineAPIConfig,
    LineWebhookHandler,
    LineMessagingClient,
    LineMessageEvent,
    TextMessage,
)

app = FastAPI()

# Initialize components
config = LineAPIConfig()
webhook_handler = LineWebhookHandler(config)
messaging_client = LineMessagingClient(config)

# Register event handlers using decorators
@webhook_handler.message_handler
async def handle_message(event: LineMessageEvent) -> None:
    """Handle incoming text messages."""
    if event.message.type == "text":
        user_text = event.message.text

        # Create smart responses
        if user_text.lower() in ["hello", "hi", "hey"]:
            response = "Hello! How can I help you today?"
        elif user_text.lower() == "help":
            response = "Available commands: hello, help, status"
        else:
            response = f"You said: {user_text}"

        # Reply to user
        if event.replyToken:
            await messaging_client.reply_message(
                reply_token=event.replyToken,
                messages=[TextMessage(text=response)]
            )

@webhook_handler.follow_handler
async def handle_follow(event) -> None:
    """Welcome new followers."""
    welcome_msg = "๐ŸŽ‰ Welcome! Thanks for adding me as a friend!"
    reply_token = getattr(event, "replyToken", None)
    if reply_token:
        await messaging_client.reply_message(
            reply_token=reply_token,
            messages=[TextMessage(text=welcome_msg)]
        )

# FastAPI webhook endpoint
@app.post("/webhook")
async def webhook_endpoint(request: Request):
    """Receive webhooks from LINE Platform."""
    body = await request.body()
    signature = request.headers.get("X-Line-Signature")
    payload_dict = await request.json()

    # Process webhook with automatic signature verification
    response = await webhook_handler.handle_webhook(
        request_body=body,
        signature=signature,
        payload_dict=payload_dict
    )

    return response.model_dump()
