Sulyap - Complete Facebook Chat API Library

---

Ang Sulyap ay isang complete unofficial Facebook Chat API library na ginawa para sa mga Filipino developers na nais gumawa ng automated bots at applications para sa Facebook Messenger. Ito ay lubos na sumusuporta sa Messenger Groups, Private Messages, at iba't ibang uri ng conversations gamit ang personal Facebook accounts.

> IMPORTANT: Sulyap ay gumagamit ng unofficial/reverse-engineered API. Ito ay direct na nakikipag-communicate sa Facebook Messenger servers gamit ang private endpoints at protocols na ginagamit ng Facebook mobile/web apps.

Installation

`bash
npm install sulyap-fca
`

Quick Start

$3

`javascript
const login = require('sulyap-fca');
const fs = require('fs');

async function startBot() {
const appState = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync('appstate.json', 'utf8'));

try {
const api = await login({ appState });
console.log('Logged in as:', api.getCurrentUserID());

api.listenMqtt((err, event) => {
if (err) return console.error(err);

if (event.type === 'message') {
console.log(${event.senderID}: ${event.body});

if (event.body === '/ping') {
api.sendMessage('Pong!', event.threadID);
}
}
});
} catch (err) {
console.error('Login failed:', err);
}
}

startBot();
`

$3

`javascript
const login = require('sulyap-fca');
const fs = require('fs');

const appState = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync('appstate.json', 'utf8'));

login({ appState }, (err, api) => {
if (err) return console.error(err);

console.log('Logged in as:', api.getCurrentUserID());

api.listenMqtt((err, event) => {
if (err) return console.error(err);

if (event.type === 'message') {
console.log(${event.senderID}: ${event.body});

if (event.body === '/ping') {
api.sendMessage('Pong!', event.threadID);
}
}

Listener methods remain callback-based because they emit continuous event streams. This is the industry-standard pattern for real-time subscriptions (similar to Firebase onSnapshot, WebSocket clients, etc.). Promises are unsuitable for unbounded multi-event flows.

| Function | Returns | Description |
|----------|---------|-------------|
| api.listen(callback) | () => void | Listen using HTTP polling (legacy). Returns stop function. |
| api.listenMqtt(callback) | () => void | Listen using MQTT (recommended, auto anti-ban). Returns stop function. |
| api.getProtectionStats() | object | Get anti-ban/anti-detection protection statistics |
| api.getCookieRefreshStats() | object | Get cookie refresh statistics |

Event Types

When using listenMqtt, you'll receive various event types:

`javascript
api.listenMqtt((err, event) => {
if (err) return console.error(err);

switch (event.type) {
case 'message':
// New message received (Group Chat or PM)
console.log(From ${event.senderID}: ${event.body});
console.log(Thread: ${event.threadID});
console.log(Is Group: ${event.isGroup});
break;

case 'message_reaction':
// Someone reacted to a message
console.log(${event.senderID} reacted with ${event.reaction});
break;

case 'message_unsend':
// Message was unsent/deleted
console.log(Message ${event.messageID} was unsent);
break;

case 'typ':
// Typing indicator
console.log(${event.from} is ${event.isTyping ? 'typing' : 'stopped typing'});
break;

case 'read_receipt':
// Read receipt
console.log(${event.reader} read messages in ${event.threadID});
break;

case 'presence':
// Online/offline status
console.log(${event.userID} is ${event.statuses ? 'online' : 'offline'});

Type: ${info.isGroup ? 'Group Chat' : 'Private Message'},
Participants: ${info.participantIDs.length},
Admins: ${info.adminIDs.length},
Messages: ${info.messageCount},
].join('\n');
await api.sendMessage(response, threadID);
}

// Admin list command
if (body === '/adminlist') {
const info = await api.getThreadInfo(threadID);

});

// Check protection status anytime
const stats = api.getProtectionStats();
console.log('Anti-ban active:', stats.enabled);
