B4J Question Facebook Bot Wrapper

[Nickle]

I am wondering if anyone has come across or built any wrapper for Facebook Bot. As we all know this is a space we need to watch aggressively. Lots happening with Bots these days.

I have seen one for Telegram https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/telegram-bots-api.66458/#content

Telegram has an documentated special Api (with Restrictments) for Bots.
I player around with it using php in the past. But as i said. It is restricted. You can not create a bot and write Messages to other peoples without getting an authorisation.
For ex. In Telegram you have a Group with some users. You must ecplicitely invite a specific Bot. After invited the Bot can write to the Channel.

Facebook does not allow Bots as far as i know.

Thanks for the feedback. Like you rightly said, with Facebook you will need authorization from People before you can send them messages especially Broadcast 24 Hours after 1st contact with Bot or accepting to recieve messages/Broadcast.

Chatfuel is using this approach. http://docs.chatfuel.com/broadcasting/broadcasting-documentation/broadcasting

Maybe we can review how they are doing and replicate with B4J.
