Product requests and ideas

I wonder if there were attempts to make command-line friendly interface, or is there API to interact with?

Hi @ggouss, jami-cli is the main effort for a TUI.

Depending on your system there are different options. Jami’s daemon (currently called dring, although it will eventually be renamed) provides a dbus API. Here is an example of using it in a script: http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Latest_Jami_back_in_Debian_Testing__and_scriptable_using_dbus.html

There is also a python command wrapper and of course a Java API for Android.

More documentation here: https://git.jami.net/savoirfairelinux/ring-project/wikis/technical/1.-The-different-APIs

Do you want to make a client or some sort of service on the Jami network?

I’m looking for a way to use Jami on terminal, as separate client or on a multiprotocol messenger like, for example, pidgin/finch through libpurple.
My other interest is to use some kind of bot on Jami network for notification/automation tasks.
