- respond to user message with different types of messages
- get user locations periodically
- download/upload multimedia files to WeChat server
- get user information and manage user in groups
- customize menu: define what kind of button users can see in WeChat app
This library supports all of the above interfaces and provide application developer native Python API for development. It hides all the http details from the user, thus could significantly speed up development.
WeChat currently does not provide its API description in English, so this library is especially useful for none-Chinese speakers to starts with WeChat API development. To start development, you will need to:
- Register a user on WeChat Public Platform
