========
Once you have :doc:`installed deltachat bindings <install>`
you need email/password credentials for an IMAP/SMTP account.
Delta Chat developers and the CI system use a special URL to create
temporary email accounts on `testrun.org <https://testrun.org/>`_ for testing.
Receiving a Chat message from the command line
----------------------------------------------
Here is a simple bot that:
- receives a message and sends back ("echoes") a message
- terminates the bot if the message `/quit` is sent
.. include:: ../../examples/echo_and_quit.py
:literal:
With this file in your working directory you can run the bot
by specifying a database path, an email address and password of
a SMTP-IMAP account::
$ cd examples
$ python echo_and_quit.py /tmp/db --email ADDRESS --password PASSWORD
While this process is running you can start sending chat messages
to `ADDRESS`.
Track member additions and removals in a group
----------------------------------------------
Here is a simple bot that:
- echoes messages sent to it
- tracks if configuration completed
- tracks member additions and removals for all chat groups
.. include:: ../../examples/group_tracking.py
:literal:
With this file in your working directory you can run the bot
by specifying a database path, an email address and password of
a SMTP-IMAP account::
python group_tracking.py --email ADDRESS --password PASSWORD /tmp/db
When this process is running you can start sending chat messages
to `ADDRESS`.
Writing bots for real
-------------------------
The `deltabot repository <https://github.com/deltachat/deltabot#deltachat-example-bot>`_
contains a little framework for writing deltachat bots in Python.
