Synopsis

Usage:

from flask import Flask, request, abort

from linebot import (
    LineBotApi, WebhookHandler
)
from linebot.exceptions import (
    InvalidSignatureError
)
from linebot.models import (
    MessageEvent, TextMessage, TextSendMessage,
)

app = Flask(__name__)

line_bot_api = LineBotApi('YOUR_CHANNEL_ACCESS_TOKEN')
handler = WebhookHandler('YOUR_CHANNEL_SECRET')


@app.route("/callback", methods=['POST'])
def callback():
    # get X-Line-Signature header value
    signature = request.headers['X-Line-Signature']

    # get request body as text
    body = request.get_data(as_text=True)
    app.logger.info("Request body: " + body)

    # handle webhook body
    try:
        handler.handle(body, signature)
    except InvalidSignatureError:
        abort(400)

    return 'OK'

def handle_message(event):
    line_bot_api.reply_message(
        event.reply_token,

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

API

LineBotApi

__init__(self, channel_access_token, endpoint=’https://api.line.me’, timeout=5, http_client=RequestsHttpClient)

Create a new LineBotApi instance.

line_bot_api = linebot.LineBotApi('YOUR_CHANNEL_ACCESS_TOKEN')

You can override the timeout value for each method.

reply_message(self, reply_token, messages, timeout=None)

Respond to events from users, groups, and rooms. You can get a reply_token from a webhook event object.

https://devdocs.line.me/en/#reply-message

line_bot_api.reply_message(reply_token, TextSendMessage(text='Hello World!'))

push_message(self, to, messages, timeout=None)

Send messages to users, groups, and rooms at any time.

https://devdocs.line.me/en/#push-message

line_bot_api.push_message(to, TextSendMessage(text='Hello World!'))

multicast(self, to, messages, timeout=None)

Send messages to multiple users at any time.

https://devdocs.line.me/en/#multicast

line_bot_api.multicast(['to1', 'to2'], TextSendMessage(text='Hello World!'))

get_profile(self, user_id, timeout=None)

Get user profile information.

https://devdocs.line.me/en/#bot-api-get-profile

profile = line_bot_api.get_profile(user_id)

print(profile.display_name)
print(profile.user_id)
print(profile.picture_url)
print(profile.status_message)

get_message_content(self, message_id, timeout=None)

Retrieve image, video, and audio data sent by users.

https://devdocs.line.me/en/#get-content

message_content = line_bot_api.get_message_content(message_id)

with open(file_path, 'wb') as fd:
    for chunk in message_content.iter_content():
        fd.write(chunk)

leave_group(self, group_id, timeout=None)

Leave a group.

https://devdocs.line.me/en/#leave

line_bot_api.leave_group(group_id)

leave_room(self, room_id, timeout=None)

Leave a room.

https://devdocs.line.me/en/#leave

line_bot_api.leave_room(room_id)

※ Error handling

If the LINE API server returns an error, LineBotApi raises LineBotApiError.

https://devdocs.line.me/en/#error-response

try:
    line_bot_api.push_message('to', TextSendMessage(text='Hello World!'))
except linebot.exceptions.LineBotApiError as e:
    print(e.status_code)
    print(e.error.message)
    print(e.error.details)

Webhook

WebhookParser

※ You can use WebhookParser or WebhookHandler

__init__(self, channel_secret)

parser = linebot.WebhookParser('YOUR_CHANNEL_SECRET')

parse(self, body, signature)

Parses the webhook body and builds an event object list. If the signature does NOT match, InvalidSignatureError is raised.

events = parser.parse(body, signature)

for event in events:
    # Do something

WebhookHandler

※ You can use WebhookParser or WebhookHandler

__init__(self, channel_secret)

handler = linebot.WebhookHandler('YOUR_CHANNEL_SECRET')

handle(self, body, signature)

Handles webhooks. If the signature does NOT match, InvalidSignatureError is raised.

handler.handle(body, signature)

Add handler method

You can add a handler method by using the add decorator.

add(self, event, message=None)

@handler.add(MessageEvent, message=TextMessage)
def handle_message(event):
    line_bot_api.reply_message(
        event.reply_token,
        TextSendMessage(text=event.message.text))

When the event is an instance of MessageEvent and event.message is an instance of TextMessage, this handler method is called.

Set default handler method

You can set the default handler method by using the default decorator.

default(self)

@handler.default()
def default(event):
    print(event)

If there is no handler for an event, this default handler method is called.
