# Skyweb 2 IRC

## Current status

This bridge stopped working in 2020 following a change in the skype web API.

I rewrote it from scratch in Python, as a Limnoria plugin: https://github.com/ProgVal/Supybot-plugins/tree/master/SkypeRelay

## Install and configure

1. Dependencies: `npm install skyweb irc html-entities striptags`

2. `mv config.js.template config.js`

3. Edit `config.js` to configure it. If you don't know the conversation ID, leave it `unknown`. Otherwise, skip step 4.

4. Run `nodejs skyweb2irc.js` and send a message in the chat using your Skype client. Copy-paste the value printed by skyweb2irc as the value of `skype_conversation_id`.

5. Run `nodejs skyweb2irc.js`

## What is this?

It is a small bot relaying messages between an IRC channel and a Skype group chat.

I wrote it because Skype suddenly decided to break its API, so my [skype2irc](https://github.com/boamaod/skype2irc) bot did not work anymore.

## Features

### Skype -> IRC

* text messages, with edits and decoding of format tags

* image upload (files are not supported, see [#6](https://github.com/ProgVal/skyweb2irc/issues/6))

* topic and picture update

* member addition and removal

* deterministic nick coloration

### IRC -> Skype

* text messages, with URLs, decoding of format characters, and stripping color codes

* CTCP ACTION (ie. `/me`)

* channel joins

* channel parts

* quits

* topic updates

## Why did you write it using node.js?

I found a library for Skype written for node.js, [Skyweb](https://github.com/ShyykoSerhiy/skyweb).
