libomegle Readme

NOTICE: This was written quite a while ago and the Omegle binary protocol (Flash sockets - this code doesn't use the web API) has almost certainly changed or been removed since then. libomegle is no longer maintained.

libomegle is a little C++ (or python with provided bindings) library for interfacing with the 'Omegle' http://omegle.com/ random-pairing instant messaging service.

See the demos, demos/omegle-cli-client.cpp and demos/basic-chatbot.cpp

An example chatlog courtesy of basic-chatbot:

(stranger disconnected)

Build

To build libomegle and the included demos, run make libomegle demos from the root directory.

To build the python bindings, run make python-bindings. You will need to have swig and development headers for python (the makefile targets 2.7, but this can be changed).

Alternatively, download a precompiled package.

Install

Install libomegle to /usr/local/: (as root) make install
