Vkontakte (VK Messenger) to Matrix bot based and puppeted bridge

[progserega]

Bridge for exchenge messages between social network vk.com and matrix.

At network I found: https://github.com/saber-nyan/vk2matrix-bot

But it is empty :-)

It looks like the project you've linked does have code in it. What exactly are you looking to have bridged?

It's a silly bot that repost posts or articles from VK by a requested link, but @saber-nyan had issues with thumbnails because of, quoting, «weak SDK» and dropped it. Meh.

[progserega]

It would be nice if we could send and receive messages of personal correspondence between VKontakte.ru and the matrix.

Perhaps here would be some documentation that would help.

possible libraries to use:

• https://github.com/nikepan/govkbot
• https://github.com/Kutabe/vk
• https://github.com/urShadow/go-vk-api
• https://github.com/Vorkytaka/easyvk-go
• https://pypi.org/project/vk/
• https://github.com/petersamokhin/vk-bot-java-sdk ...and many others

This whole VKontakte to Matrix bridge wish we can split in two parts (with different implementation):

• Bot based bridge for mirror chatroom messages (easier, like telematrix)
• Puppeted bridge, that act as full chat client for VK Messenger (harder, like mautrix-telegram)

@progserega please update issue topic for better googling to something like: Vkontakte (VK Messenger) to Matrix bot based and puppeted bridge

[progserega]

This is simple bot for messaging between matrix and VK: https://github.com/progserega/MatrixVkBot

Now support images, text,video,geo,voice from VK to matrix, and only text from matrix to VK

Looks like https://github.com/progserega/MatrixVkBot is sufficiently advanced for this use case.

Here https://github.com/innereq/mx-puppet-vk is much more improved version of VK <-> Matrix bridge, that works as application service, using Community bot and as Puppeted user.
