You can use callback or .then() .catch() or async/await

Password safety

Read this before you copy+paste examples from below.

You should not store Facebook password in your scripts. There are few good reasons:

  • People who are standing behind you may look at your "code" and get your password if it is on the screen
  • Backups of source files may be readable by someone else. "There is nothing secret in my code, why should I ever password protect my backups"
  • You can't push your code to Github (or any onther service) without removing your password from the file. Remember: Even if you undo your accidential commit with password, Git doesn't delete it, that commit is just not used but is still readable by everybody.
  • If you change your password in the future (maybe it leaked because someone stored password in source file… oh… well…) you will have to change every occurrence in your scripts

Preferred method is to have login.js that saves AppState to a file and then use that file from all your scripts. This way you can put password in your code for a minute, login to facebook and then remove it.

If you want to be even more safe: login.js can get password with require("readline") or with environment variables like this:

var credentials = {
    email: process.env.FB_EMAIL,
    password: process.env.FB_PASSWORD
}
FB_EMAIL="john.doe@example.com"
FB_PASSWORD="MySuperHardP@ssw0rd"
nodejs login.js

login(credentials, options, [callback])

This function is returned by require(...) and is the main entry point to the API.

It allows the user to log into facebook given the right credentials.

Return a Promise that will resolve if logged in successfully, or reject if failed to login. (will not resolve or reject if callback is supplied!)

If callback is supplied:

  • callback will be called with a null object (for potential errors) and with an object containing all the available functions if logged in successfully.

  • callback will be called with an error object if failed to login.

If login-approval error was thrown: Inside error object is continue function, you can call that function with 2FA code. The behaviour of this function depends on how you call login with:

  • If callback is not supplied (using Promise), this function will return a Promise that behaves like Promise received from login.

  • If callback is supplied, this function will still return a Promise, but it will not resolve. Instead, the result is called to callback.

Arguments

  • credentials: An object containing the fields email and password used to login, or an object containing the field appState.
  • options: An object representing options to use when logging in (as described in api.setOptions).
  • callback(err, api): A callback called when login is done (successful or not). err is an object containing a field error.

Example (Email & Password): (it is no longer usable, please use this alternative method)

const login = require("siam_fb_api");

login({email: "FB_EMAIL", password: "FB_PASSWORD"}, (err, api) => {
    if(err) return console.error(err);
    // Here you can use the api
});

Example (Email & Password then save appState to file): (it is no longer usable, please use this alternative method)

const fs = require("fs-extra");
const login = require("siam_fb_api");

login({email: "FB_EMAIL", password: "FB_PASSWORD"}, (err, api) => {
    if(err) return console.error(err);

    fs.writeFileSync('appstate.json', JSON.stringify(api.getAppState()));
});

Login Approvals (2-Factor Auth): When you try to login with Login Approvals enabled, your callback will be called with an error 'login-approval' that has a continue function that accepts the approval code as a string or a number. (it is no longer usable, please use this alternative method)

Example:

const login = require("siam_fb_api");
const readline = require("readline");

var rl = readline.createInterface({
  input: process.stdin,
  output: process.stdout
});

const obj = {email: "FB_EMAIL", password: "FB_PASSWORD"};
login(obj, (err, api) => {
    if(err) {
        switch (err.error) {
            case 'login-approval':
                console.log('Enter code > ');
                rl.on('line', (line) => {
                    err.continue(line);
                    rl.close();
                });
                break;
            default:
                console.error(err);
        }
        return;
    }

    // Logged in!
});

Review Recent Login: Sometimes Facebook will ask you to review your recent logins. This means you've recently logged in from a unrecognized location. This will will result in the callback being called with an error 'review-recent-login' by default. If you wish to automatically approve all recent logins, you can set the option forceLogin to true in the loginOptions.

Example (AppState loaded from file): You can get fbstate using this extension

const fs = require("fs-extra");
const login = require("siam_fb_api");

login({appState: JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync('appstate.json', 'utf8'))}, (err, api) => {
    if(err) return console.error(err);
    // Here you can use the api
});

    api.getThreadHistory(threadID, 50, timestamp, (err, history) => {
        if(err) return console.error(err);

        /*
            Since the timestamp is from a previous loaded message,
            that message will be included in this history so we can discard it unless it is the first load.
        */
        if(timestamp != undefined) history.pop();

api.handleMessageRequest(threadID, accept, [callback])

Accept or ignore message request(s) with thread id threadID.

Arguments

  • threadID: A threadID or array of threadIDs corresponding to the target thread(s). Can be numbers or strings.
  • accept: Boolean indicating the new status to assign to the message request(s); true for inbox, false to others.
  • callback(err): A callback called when the query is done (with an error or with null).

api.httpGet(url, form, [customHeader], [callback], [notAPI])

Get data from a URL with method GET.

Arguments

  • url: A string being the URL to get data from.
  • form: An object containing the form data to send.
  • customHeader: An object containing custom headers to send.
  • callback(err, data): A callback called when the query is done (either with an error or with the resulting data).
  • notAPI: A boolean indicating whether the request is made from the API or not (default: false, meaning it's from the API).

api.httpPost(url, form, [customHeader], [callback], [notAPI])

Get data from a URL with method POST.

Arguments

api.httpPostFormData(url, form, [customHeader], [callback], [notAPI])

Post form data to a URL.

Arguments

api.listen([callback])

api.listenMqtt([callback])

Will call callback when a new message is received on this account. By default this won't receive events (joining/leaving a chat, title change etc...) but it can be activated with api.setOptions({listenEvents: true}). This will by default ignore messages sent by the current account, you can enable listening to your own messages with api.setOptions({selfListen: true}). This returns an EventEmitter that contains function stopListening that will stop the listen loop and is guaranteed to prevent any future calls to the callback given to listen. An immediate call to stopListening when an error occurs will prevent the listen function to continue.

If callback is not defined, or isn't a Function, you can listen to messages with event message and error from EventEmitter returned by this function.

Arguments

  • callback(error, message): A callback called every time the logged-in account receives a new message.

Message

The message object will contain different fields based on its type (as determined by its type field). By default, the only type that will be listened for is message. If enabled through setOptions, the message object may alternatively represent an event e.g. a read receipt. The available event types are as follows:

  • Mentions: set field mentions to an array of objects. Objects should have the tag field set to the text that should be highlighted in the mention. The object should have an id field, where the id is the user id of the person being mentioned. The instance of tag that is highlighted is determined through indexOf, an optional fromIndex can be passed in to specify the start index to start searching for the tag text in body (default=0). (See below for an example.)
  • Location: set field location to an object with latitude and longitude fields. Optionally set field current of the location object to true to indicate the location is the user’s current location. Otherwise the location will be sent as a pinned location.

Note that a message can only be a regular message (which can be empty) and optionally one of the following: a sticker, an attachment or a url.

Tip: to find your own ID, you can look inside the cookies. The userID is under the name c_user.
