An unofficial Node.js library that automates Facebook chat on a user account by emulating browser requests, since Facebook offers no user-account chat API. It lets you log in with credentials and send, receive, and listen to messages to build bots and scripts.

Use cases

  • build an echo bot for facebook messenger
  • automate sending messages from my facebook account
  • listen for incoming facebook messages in nodejs
  • write a script that replies to facebook chats automatically
  • send facebook messages from the command line
  • create a facebook chatbot without the messenger platform

When to choose

  • you need to automate chat on a personal Facebook user account, which the official Messenger Platform does not allow
  • you're building one-off scripts, fun projects, or personal bots
  • you want a simple Node.js API for sending and listening to Facebook messages

When to avoid

  • you're building a serious production application, since any Facebook change can break it overnight
  • you only need a bot for a Facebook Page — use the official Messenger Platform instead
  • you can't risk account restrictions or bans from automated activity
