SDK of the LINE Messaging API for Python.
The LINE Messaging API SDK for Python makes it easy to develop bots using LINE Messaging API, and you can create a sample bot within minutes.
See the official API documentation for more information

$ pip install line-bot-sdk
Usage:
from flask import Flask, request, abort
from linebot.v3 import (
WebhookHandler
)
from linebot.v3.exceptions import (
InvalidSignatureError
)
from linebot.v3.messaging import (
Configuration,
ApiClient,
MessagingApi,
ReplyMessageRequest,
TextMessage
)
from linebot.v3.webhooks import (
MessageEvent,
TextMessageContent
)
app = Flask(__name__)
configuration = Configuration(access_token='YOUR_CHANNEL_ACCESS_TOKEN')
handler = WebhookHandler('YOUR_CHANNEL_SECRET')
@app.route("/callback", methods=['POST'])
def callback():
# get X-Line-Signature header value
signature = request.headers['X-Line-Signature']
# get request body as text
body = request.get_data(as_text=True)
app.logger.info("Request body: " + body)
# handle webhook body
try:
handler.handle(body, signature)
except InvalidSignatureError:
app.logger.info("Invalid signature. Please check your channel access token/channel secret.")
abort(400)
return 'OK'
@handler.add(MessageEvent, message=TextMessageContent)
def handle_message(event):
with ApiClient(configuration) as api_client:
line_bot_api = MessagingApi(api_client)
line_bot_api.reply_message_with_http_info(
ReplyMessageRequest(
reply_token=event.reply_token,
messages=[TextMessage(text=event.message.text)]
)
)
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run()
See linebot/v3/messaging/docs . Other docs are in linebot/v3/<feature>/docs/*.md
.
※ You can use WebhookParser
parser = linebot.v3.WebhookParser('YOUR_CHANNEL_SECRET')
Parses the webhook body, and returns a list of Event objects or a WebhookPayload object (depending on as_payload).
If the signature does NOT match, InvalidSignatureError
is raised.
events = parser.parse(body, signature)
for event in events:
do_something(event)
payload = parser.parse(body, signature, as_payload=True)
for event in payload.events:
do_something(payload.event, payload.destination)
※ You can use WebhookHandler
handler = linebot.v3.WebhookHandler('YOUR_CHANNEL_SECRET')
Handles webhooks with handlers added
by the decorators add and default.
If the signature does NOT match, InvalidSignatureError
is raised.
handler.handle(body, signature)
Add a handler method by using this decorator.
@handler.add(MessageEvent, message=TextMessage)
def handle_message(event):
line_bot_api.reply_message(
ReplyMessageRequest(
reply_token=event.reply_token,
messages=[TextMessage(text=event.message.text)]
)
)
When the event is an instance of MessageEvent and event.message is an instance of TextMessage, this handler method is called.
@handler.add(MessageEvent)
def handle_message(event, destination):
# do something
If the arity of the handler method is more than one, a destination property in a webhook request is passed to it as the second argument.
@handler.add(FollowEvent)
def handle_follow():
# do something
If the arity of the handler method is zero, the handler method is called with no arguments.
Set the default handler method by using this decorator.
@handler.default()
def default(event):
print(event)
If there is no handler for an event, this default handler method is called.

line-bot-python-sdk provides from_json
method for each model.
It deserializes the JSON into the specified model.
Thus, you can send a JSON designed with Flex Message Simulator.
bubble_string = """{ type:"bubble", ... }"""
message = FlexMessage(alt_text="hello", contents=FlexContainer.from_json(bubble_string))
line_bot_api.reply_message(
ReplyMessageRequest(
reply_token=event.reply_token,
messages=[message]
)
)
You may need to store the x-line-request-id
header obtained as a response from several APIs.
In this case, please use ~_with_http_info
functions. You can get headers and status codes.
The x-line-accepted-request-id
or content-type
header can also be obtained in the same way.
response = line_bot_api.reply_message_with_http_info(
ReplyMessageRequest(
reply_token=event.reply_token,
messages=[TextMessage(text='see application log')]
)
)
app.logger.info("Got response with http status code: " + str(response.status_code))
app.logger.info("Got x-line-request-id: " + response.headers['x-line-request-id'])
app.logger.info("Got response with http body: " + str(response.data))
You can get error messages from ApiException
when you use MessagingApi
. Each client defines its own exception class.
from linebot.v3.messaging import ApiException, ErrorResponse
try:
line_bot_api.reply_message_with_http_info(
ReplyMessageRequest(
reply_token='invalid-reply-token',
messages=[TextMessage(text='see application log')]
)
)
except ApiException as e:
app.logger.info("Got response with http status code: " + str(e.status))
app.logger.info("Got x-line-request-id: " + e.headers['x-line-request-id'])
app.logger.info("Got response with http body: " + str(ErrorResponse.from_json(e.body)))
When you need to get x-line-accepted-request-id
header from error response, you can get it: e.headers['x-line-accepted-request-id']
.

This project respects semantic versioning
LINE's SDK developer team decided to generate SDK code based on OpenAPI spec. https://github.com/line/line-openapi
As a result, LINE bot sdk 3.x is not compatible with 2.x. It can follow the future API changes very quickly.
We will be maintaining only linebot.v3
going forward.
To utilize the latest features, we recommend you gradually transition to linebot.v3
modules in your application, although you can still continue to use the 2.x linebot
modules.
While we won't update linebot
modules anymore, users can still continue to use the version 2.x linebot
modules.
We also welcome pull requests for the version 2.x
and 3.x
modules.
If you keep using old line-bot-sdk library (version < 3.x
) but use 3.x
, you'll get
LineBotSdkDeprecatedIn30: Call to deprecated method get_bot_info. (Use 'from linebot.v3.messaging import MessagingApi' and 'MessagingApi(...).get_bot_info(...)' instead. See https://github.com/line/line-bot-sdk-python/blob/master/README.rst for more details.) -- Deprecated since version 3.0.0.
If it's noisy, you can suppress this warning as follows.
import warnings
from linebot import LineBotSdkDeprecatedIn30
## your code here
...
if __name__ == '__main__':
warnings.filterwarnings("ignore", category=LineBotSdkDeprecatedIn30)
Please check CONTRIBUTING before making a contribution.
First install for development.
$ pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
You can generate new or fixed models and APIs by this command.
$ python generate-code.py
When you update line-bot-sdk-python version, please update linebot/__about__.py and generate code again.
If you edit README.rst, you should execute the following command to check the syntax of README.
$ python -m readme_renderer README.rst
Test by using tox. We test against the following versions.
