GroupMe Java Wrapper

A Java wrapper for the GroupMe bots api

Example usage:

//create your bot with the ID assigned to you (GroupMe bot creation link below)
Bot bot = new Bot("your bot id here");
//send a simple text only message
bot.sendTextMessage("Test message");
//send an image with text along with it
bot.sendImage("Check out this image", "http://www.wtt.com/Pictures/WTT_logo_color_Jan2010.gif");
//send a location to the chat
bot.sendLocation("Home", 38.8977, -77.0366, "The White House");

In order to add the projects code to your project download the most recent version from here and add the jar as a library in your java build path. To obtain a bot with an ID use this form. After creation use the bot id as a parameter when you create your bot object. Here are some other useful links:

• GroupMe docs
• Request response codes can be used to determine debug messages (you will know them when you see them)
• Intro to GroupMe bots without this api not java related
