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
