simplebot 0.10.0

Pluginable Delta Chat bot

SimpleBot

A simple “deltabot” that depends on plugins to add functionality. It works as part of a group or in 1:1 chats in Delta Chat applications. SimpleBot supports Autocrypt end-to-end encryption but note that the operator of the bot service can look into messages that are sent to it. See also: https://github.com/Simon-Laux/ZHV/

Install

To install it run the following command (preferably in a virtualenv):

$ pip3 install simplebot

Then install some plugins

Starting the bot

First you need to provide an emailaddress and a password to allow the bot to receive and send messages for that address:

$ simplebot init "[e-mail]" "password123"

This command will try to contact the imap/smtp servers for example.org and logging in with the given e-mail address and password. Once this successfully completes, initialization is done and tested.

You can then let the bot listen continously:

$ simplebot serve

It will listen for incoming messages and handle them with installed plugins.

Install Delta Chat and add your bot’s email address as a contact and start chatting with it! You can also add the bot as a member to a group chat.
