XMPP Webhook Bridge

Project description

Note that xmppwb is currently in early development and may contain bugs.

A bot that bridges XMPP (chats and MUCs) with webhooks, thus making it possible to interact with services outside the XMPP world. This can be used to connect XMPP to other chat services that provide a webhook API (for example Rocket.Chat, Mattermost or Slack).

Install

xmppwb requires Python 3.4+ and depends on the following libraries, which can be installed using pip3:

pip3 install aiohttp pyyaml slixmpp

After cloning this repository you can run xmppwb like this:

python3 xmppwb.py --help

Configuration

A documented example config is provided in example.conf. A simple config file looks like this:

xmpp:
  jid: alice@example.com
  password: "<bot-password>"
  mucs:
    - jid: conference1@conference.example.com
      nickname: WebhookBridge
      password: "<muc-password>"
incoming_webhook_listener:
  bind_address: "127.0.0.1"
  port: 5000
bridges:
  - xmpp:
      - muc: conference1@conference.example.com
      - relay_all_normal: true
    webhooks:
      outgoing:
        - url: http://127.0.0.1:8065/hooks/<yourtoken>
          override_username: "{nick}"
      incoming:
        - token: <your-token2>

Note that the password is stored in cleartext, so take precautions such as restricting file permissions. It is recommended to use a dedicated JID for this bridge.

Usage

This bridge is meant to run on the same server as the application you are bridging with, as it currently uses HTTP for incoming webhooks.

To run the bridge:

python3 xmppwb.py --config configfile.conf
