Using itchat platform (python) for automation and auto reply of images, files etc
-Some explanation referred to itchat by littlecodersh
youfou/wxpy: Good API plugin, wechatbot, personal API liuwons/wxBot: A wechat robot similiar to the robot branch
zixia/wechaty: Wechat for bot in Javascript(ES6), Personal Account Robot Framework/Library
wechaty: tried project with this, good, but no complete suppport for image integration yet
sjdy521/Mojo-Weixin: Wechat web api in Perl, available with HTTP requests
yaphone/itchat4j: Extend your wechat with java
HanSon/vbot: Based on PHP7，using anonymous function to create user-defined service
kanjielu/jeeves: Use Springbot
This bot works with a python installed with a version of 3 or above
python --version to check your python version
Clone the repository somewhere
npm itchat
Install the itchat dependencies you need
itchat.auto_login(hotReload = True)
This saves the record, user does not have to login each time
import time, datetime, requests, itchat
from itchat.content import *Now you can import and use it
hotReload = True’ inside the ‘itchat.auto_login(hotReload = True)’
this saves the memory of the user that logged in. So that the same user doesn’t have to login by scanning the QR code. If you want to aboard a new user, delete the pkl file or ‘hot reload=True’.
free usage
this project was made with the platform itchat:
https://github.com/littlecodersh/ItChat/wiki/Tutorial1 https://itchat.readthedocs.io/zh/latest/
You also have to register certain keywords before defining the corresponding functions and parameters:
Ex)
@itchat.msg_register(FRIENDS)
Ex)
@itchat.msg_register(TEXT,isGroupChat=True)
def auto_reply(msg):
coming_from = msg.get('ActualNickName')
context = msg.text
friend = itchat.search_friends(name=coming_from)
print(f'{coming_from}:{context}')isGroupChat=True allows it to only work when the message is sent from the group chat
Getting name of User that sends the message:
msg.get('ActualNickName')The content of the message
msg.text
ex)
@itchat.msg_register(TEXT,isGroupChat=True)
def auto_reply(msg):
coming_from = msg.get('ActualNickName')
context = msg.text
friend = itchat.search_friends(name=coming_from)
print(f'{coming_from}:{context}')
now we can print who it is coming from and the content of the message
coming_from = msg.get('ActualNickName')
coming_from to be the user that sent the message
friend = itchat.search_friends(name=coming_from)
notice that we defined the friend to be defined as a variable storing the friend with the ‘coming_from’. As a result friend is storing the user that sent the message.
itchat.send_file('File Path’, friend[0]['UserName'])
friend[0]['UserName'] This part defines who is receiving the file or the message
Ex)
Windows:
itchat.send_file('C:\\Users\\user\\Desktop\\CODER BUNKERINTERN\\workspace\\chatbot\\images\\'+ msg.text, friend[0]['UserName'])
MAC:
reply = itchat.send_file(
'/Users/suser/Desktop/store_file/Coderbunker collaboration model with clients.pdf',
friend[0]['UserName'])the only reason why ‘\’ is used to separate is because it is for the windows
From the example above, friend = itchat.search_friends(name=coming_from)
Since friend is already pre-defined as the user that is sending the message, the file will be sent to the person that is sending a message to the bot
This allows us to send whatever file the user asks for. For example, if user sends ‘ricky.jpg’ or ‘coderbunkerfile.pdf’ the code will look for the corresponding file in the folder and send that file
itchat.send_file('File Path'+ msg.text, friend[0]['UserName'])by putting the msg.text after the 'File Path', the file path will be composed of the message content that someone sends at the end.
For example, if someone sends the bot ‘ricky.jpg’, the file path will become
'C:\\Users\\user\\Desktop\\CODER BUNKER INTERN \\workspace\\chatbot\\images\\’ + ricky.jpg
Resulting:
'C:\\Users\\user\\Desktop\\CODER BUNKER INTERN \\workspace\\chatbot\\images\\ricky.jpg
@itchat.msg_register(FRIENDS)
def add_friend(msg):
print(u'[ Terminal Info ] New Friend Request 新朋友的请求，自动通过验证添加加好友 From: %s' % msg['RecommendInfo']['UserName'])
itchat.add_friend(**msg['Text']) # This automatically adds the friend['RecommendInfo']['UserName'])
This portion is the user you are sending the message to, so in this case a newly added user
Ex) This sends all the corresponding files when a new user is added, as well as auto-accepting it
@itchat.msg_register(FRIENDS)
def add_friend(msg):
print(u'[ Terminal Info ] New Friend Request 新朋友的请求，自动通过验证添加加好友 From: %s' % msg['RecommendInfo']['UserName'])
itchat.add_friend(**msg['Text']) # 该操作会自动将新好友的消息录入，不需要重载通讯录
itchat.send_image(
'C:\\Users\\user\\Desktop\\CODER BUNKER INTERN\\workspace\\chatbot\\images\\ricky.jpg',
msg['RecommendInfo']['UserName'])
itchat.send_image(
'C:\\Users\\user\\Desktop\\CODER BUNKER INTERN\\workspace\\chatbot\\images\\fred.jpg',
msg['RecommendInfo']['UserName'])
We try to achiever this by splicing the word and extracting the last two or one word at the user wants to another user that they want to
words = context.split(" ")
file_name = words[0]
receiving_name = words[-1]
print(receiving_name)
# this gives ricky.jpg after @
receiving_friend= itchat.search_friends(name=receiving_name)
if len(words)>1:
#for two word names
receiving_name_two = words[-2] + ' ' + words[-1]
print(receiving_name_two)
receiving_friend_two = itchat.search_friends(name=receiving_name_two)
