Google Hangouts adapter for Hubot?


I'm currently playing around a bit with Hubot and want to connect it to my and my friends hangout channel. The problem is that I can't seem to find an adapter. There may not exist one (as google hangouts pretty recently remodeled their api) but I wanted to ask you first.

I've found

TL;DR: Is there an up-to-date Google Hangouts adapter?


Solution

  • Update: 2015/01/25

    We created an adapter on github which can be found here:

    https://github.com/groupby/hubot-hangups

    Feel free to add improvements.


    There is an API here that you could utilize to create a hangouts bot.

    https://github.com/tdryer/hangups

    And then a bunch of projects that use this service which I haven't looked into.

    • HangoutsBot: Python Whistler Bot
    • HangupsBot: Bot for Google Hangouts
    • QHangups: Alternative client for Google Hangouts written in PyQt
    • bastardbot: A bot to follow and interact with Google Hangouts conversations
    • pickups: IRC gateway for hangups (prototype)
    • telepathy-hangups: Telepathy bindings for Google Chat via hangups library

    We'll be releasing a hubot hangouts client at somepoint and I'll create a link here.
