skypy

A python library which allows you to send messages via web.skype.com

At this moment the only features it provides are authentication and sending messages.

Installation

Since this library is a single file and currently in the development there's no way to install it aside from downloading the file and importing library.

Usage

Example:

from skypy import Skype
client = Skype("username", "password")
client.authenticate()
client.get_registration_token()
client.send_message("8:some_user", "Hello, world")

Currently supported features are authentication and messaging. There is no way to list contacts and chats yet, though i'm working on it.

The only way right now to get a username (or a chatname, for that matter) is to go to the web.skype.com, authorize and look for urls used to send messages in the browser debug tool, some of them will look like:

https://client-s.gateway.messenger.live.com/v1/users/ME/conversations/{CHATNAME/USERNAME}/messages

You only need the part between "/conversations/" and "/messages"

So if the url looks like https://client-s.gateway.messenger.live.com/v1/users/ME/conversations/8:foobar/messages

your chatname will be 8:foobar
