handler = WebhookHandler(<YOUR_CHANNEL_SECRET>)
botimize = Botimize(<YOUR_BOTIMIZE_APIKEY>,"line")
@app.route("/", methods=['POST'])
def ():
# 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)
event = request.get_json()
botimize.log_incoming(event)
# handle webhook body
try:
handler.handle(body, signature)
except InvalidSignatureError:
abort(400)
return 'OK'
@handler.add(MessageEvent, message=TextMessage)
def handle_message(event):
line_bot_api.reply_message(
event.reply_token,
TextSendMessage(text=event.message.text))
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run()
