Flask-Weixin 0.4.0

Installation

You can install Flask-Weixin with pip:

$ pip install Flask-Weixin

Or, with setuptools easy_install in case you didn’t have pip:

$ easy_install Flask-Weixin

Getting Started

Eager to get started? It is always the Flask way to create a new instance:

from flask_weixin import Weixin

weixin = Weixin(app)

Or pass the app later:

weixin = Weixin()
weixin.init_app(app)

However, you need to configure before using it, here is the configuration list:

• WEIXIN_TOKEN: this is required

• WEIXIN_SENDER: a default sender, optional

• WEIXIN_EXPIRES_IN: not expires by default

For Flask user, it is suggested that you use the default view function:

app.add_url_rule('/', view_func=weixin.view_func)

@weixin.register('*')
def reply(**kwargs):
    username = kwargs.get('sender')
    sender = kwargs.get('receiver')
    content = kwargs.get('content')
    return weixin.reply(
        username, sender=sender, content=content
    )

The example above will reply anything the user sent.

Message Types

Every message from weixin has these information:

• id: message ID

• receiver: which is ToUserName in the official documentation

• sender: which is FromUserName in the official documentation

• type: message type

• timestamp: message timestamp
