#Skype Bot

Implements Microsoft Chat REST API V3 client.

Currently Python 2.7 tested only.

Steps to run the bot on your local machine:

Register your bot here.
Get the bot name, app_id and password.
Install ngrok.

Create a virtualenv and install skype_bot.

virtualenv ~/.virtualenv/skype_bot
source ~/.virtualenv/skype_bot/bin/activate
pip install git+https://github.com/amironenko/skype_bot.git

Then create a file with contents like:

#!/usr/bin/env python
import logging
from skype_bot.bot import Bot

bot_config = { 'bot_name': 'my-bot',
               'bot_password': '<your bot password here>',  # example 'UeteHnfdQgieutiYLHTQE9F'
               'bot_app_id':   '<your app id here>',         # example '4f7bcc06-bb22-4f4a-b44c-51485be54c67'
               'logging_level': logging.DEBUG,
               'port': 3978,
               'hostname': 'localhost'
              }

def handle_message(text, type, conversation_id, sender_name, sender_id):
    print "Message from {} received. Text: {}, type: {}, conversion_id: {}".format(sender_name, text, type,
                                                                                   conversation_id)
    return 'message received'

my_bot = Bot(bot_config)
my_bot.set_default_message_handler(handle_message)
run_app = Bot.app

if __name__ == "__main__":
    my_bot.run()

or just clone it from github:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/amironenko/skype_bot/master/run_bot.py

Paste your credentials to the bot_config dictionary.
Run the bot:

python run_bot.py

Run ngrok to make the bot accessible from the Internet:

ngrok http 3978

ngrok will keep hanging in interactive mode. Find a line like:

Forwarding                    https://0254f9a6.ngrok.io -> localhost:3978

It means that your bot is exposed to the Internet at https://0254f9a6.ngrok.io. Full URI is going to be:

https://0254f9a6.ngrok.io/api/messages

Now go and configure your bot Messaging endpoint.
Test your bot.

Tips

To run bot as a WSGI application use run_app as a callable object.
