An API for creating kik bots (and other stuff)

Hi there 👋

kik-node-api's Issues

Get admins and owners, total users, is group public of the group

Below is the following I use currently to retrieve member status of the group and total number of users and if the group is public:

'iqHandler.js':
Within 'if(xmlns === "jabber:iq:roster")':

This will add "users_data", "total" and "ispublic" to the group object
(You can get who is owner or admin upon 'receivedgroupmsg' by console.log(group.users_data)
(You can get total number of users upon 'receivedgroupmsg' by console.log(group.total)
(You can get if the group is public or private upon 'receivedgroupmsg' by console.log(group.ispublic)

Profile/Group Change Name

/* Part 1: */
Location: kik-node-api\src\kikClient.js = add:
const g_changeName = require("./requests/g_changeName");
const p_changeName = require("./requests/p_changeName");

Add anywhere in KikClient within KikClient class:
Profile Change Name:

Change Group Name:

/* Part 2: */
Location: kik-node-api\src\requests = create file:
p_changeName.js
g_changeName.js

p_changeName Code:

g_changeName Code:

Call function:
Kik.g_changeName(group.jid, "Group Name");
Kik.p_changeName("Firstname, "Lastname"

Server ended issue?

Any ideas why I get this? No errors or anything of the sort

Get Info from Username

Get Info from username:

{
    "firstName":"Kik",
    "lastName":"Team",
    "displayPicLastModified":1531418402837,
    "displayPic":"pic_url.jpg"
}

Code (KikClient.js):

Const axios = require('axios');

getInfoFromUsername(username){
    const url = `https://ws2.kik.com/user/${username}`;
    axios(url).then(response => {
        const htmlToObj = response.data;
        return htmlToObj;
    }).catch();
    return null;
}

packet size limitation

(excuse me if my github etiquette is lacking, total newb here as you know)
but....
kikconnection.js
if(data.length >= 16384)

regarding this data size amount, im coming across two issues

1 (seems to be purely a server side issue)
but "hidden" groups are shown listed in this first packet i recieve, groups that don't show in my apps listings. UNLESS there are other users than myself listed in them (usually its just me) then i must add those users to a functioning group, then start a pm with them. only then will the group we share in common appear in the app, and then i can actually leave the group.
....... which besides just being over all interesting..... is causing me to just get a listing of glitched groups within the first received packet...... and then the roster/group listing of the API, just terminats because its hit the packet size limit.... causing me to be unable to proceed to the actual functioning groups that would be displayed by the next full packet

2. how can i code this function to continue to produce more packet results?
   (because im ignorant as discussed and highlighted in shame and dispair ....ealier )

Is it possible to send active link?

When sending a link it does not appear as an active clickable link, rather it appears as plain text.

Cant access 'friends' from outside of "recievedroster"

Trying to create a function that checks if the user is already a friend, however I cannot seem to figure it out.

I thought getRoster(friends) would return an array like the one within the "receivedroster" event console.log(friends) from within the recievedprivatemsg event.

I have to admit I am very rusty with a limited knowledge of what I am actually doing - this is all a learning experience for me and hope you can help me understand my issue.

Added Event Handlers: "joinedgroup" && "receivedgroupsysmsg"

...

repeated unhandled data notifications

I noticed i was getting a string of data notifications
every 30 minutes if no data is recieved
then if data is receieved its delayed 40 minutes
and then continues every 30 minutes again....

until windows reports that its run out of memory

possibly some message handling functions are missing?

Friend requests

Might be a silly question, but how does one access friend requests?

Missing "Add a kik user as a friend"

Add a kik user as a friend feature is missing on readme or in API? No mention of this feature on anywhere

Added Event handler: "receivedprivatefriendsearch"

...

Make message seen by the bot

is there any function to mark the message been received and seen on private events

Profile Change Email Function

Below is the following I use currently to change the profile email:

Create File 'p_setEmail.js' in Requests Folder:

Call Function:
Kik.p_setEmail(email@youuse, current_password);

Notes:
Make sure to add the functions to KikClient.js

Not an issue, just posting to fix a bug.

In the iqHandler.js file, you have down

groups.push({
    jid: group.attrs.jid,
    code: group.find("code")? group.find("code").text : null,
    name: group.find("n").text,
    users: users
})

And this is an issue because in group.find("code")? group.find("code").text : null, it's gonna try to access .text, and if group.find("code") is undefined, it will throw an TypeError error.

I propose making these changes here:

groups.push({
    jid: group.attrs.jid,
    code: group.find("code") && group.find("code").text || null,
    name: group.find("n") && group.find("n").text || null,
    users: users
})

As it will try to make sure it exists before it tries getting .text, if it doesn't, it'll default to null. I added it in name also, as it seems to fix a connection hanging issue with the roster. This is tested working on the current build on this device, as well as another device a user had the same issue with.

Profile Change Password Function

Below is the following I use currently to hange the profile password:

Create File 'p_setPassword.js' in Requests Folder:

Call Function:
Kik.p_setPassword('new_pass', 'old_pass')

Notes:
Make sure to add the functions to KikClient.js

Get most Info from aliasJid (jid, username, displayName, pic)(Fixed)

...

private message echoing back to sender

(hello)

its minor but here's a contribution to help me feel productive.

if im not mistaken exampleBot.js is sending back a copy of what the remote user PMs to user .
(just delete since a console.log exists at the end?)

line 57

Kik.sendPrivateMessage(sender.jid, msg, (delivered, read) =>

Handle "kik:groups:admin" Errors

Depreciated

Added Function: addToGroup

Depreciated (function included in Kick/Add)

Send group images

Hi,

Just wondering if you're going to update this to make sending group images possible?

Happy to help out in anyway I can
