I am trying to create a very simple script that uses python xmpppy to send a message via facebook chat.
import xmpp
FACEBOOK_ID = " username@chat.facebook.com "
PASS = "password"
SERVER = "chat.facebook.com"
jid = xmpp.protocol.JID (FACEBOOK_ID)
C = xmpp.Client (jid.getDomain (), debug = [])
if not C.connect ((SERVER, 5222)):
raise IOError ('Can not connect to server.')
if not C.auth (jid.getNode (), PASS):
raise IOError ('Can not auth with server.')
C.send (xmpp.protocol.Message (" friend@chat.facebook.com ", "Hello world",))
This code works to send a message via gchat, however, when I try using facebook, I get this error:
An error occurred while searching for _xmpp-client._tcp.chat.facebook.com
When I remove @ chat.facebook.com from FACEBOOK_ID, I get this instead:
