develop your own gtalk/jabber/aim/yahoo bot using imified API

i’ve found http://bot.im (imified) few days ago and it’s a nice free service for creating your own messenger bots. it provides excellent API to develop bots for various platform like AIM/Yahoo/Gtalk/Jabber and interact with your bot users. To ease developing bots, I have written a wrapper class of imified API for php developers and made it open source under BSD license. You can download the wrapper from below

Download the wrapper with example

To see the example bots developed using this wrapper, please add “storyteller@bot.im” in your gtalk/jabber client or “storytellerbot” in your YM client. then type help and TADA!

please note that processing “help” is different. you need to type the response of “help” command in your bot settings page. also bots allows only one HTML tag which is <br>

example [the callback of this bot is set to http://bot.ofhas.in]

include_once("class.imified.php");
if(!isset($_REQUEST['msg']))
{
die ("This is Hasin's personal bot storyteller@bot.im to demonstrate the imified API - please add this bot from your gtalk/jabber client Or add storytellerbot@yahoo.com in your YM client. Source code is available from hasin's personal blog at http://hasin.wordpress.com");
}
//initiate
$im = new ImifiedHelper("7DCDECB6-C895-9643-909CDC85CBF09954 ","username@example.com","Oye!MyPassword!");
//callback
$im->setCallback("callback");
function callback($message, $step, $network, $userKey)
{
global $im;
$message = strtolower($message);
if("whois"==$message)
{
echo "about me";
}
else if("work"==$message)
{
echo "about my work";
}
elseif("status"==$message)
{
echo "my status";
}
elseif("quit"==$message)
{
echo "ok, bye";
}
else
{
echo "Sorry, I dont understand hierogliphics @^#%@*&#(&!*&@^!*&@#!!!";
}
$im->resetStep();
}


This class also supports fetching user info and sending message to a group of bot users. Check it out

Happy bot development
