  • This bot already exists: it connects to facebook, performs the login and then sets the status. You can find it here: > http://www.barattalo.it/2010/03/01/php-curl-bot-to-update-facebook-status/ – Pons Mar 01 '10 at 21:59

@Porkchop is correct, you will probably need the Facebook Connect API. To update a users status on Facebook, you should look at the Status.set API call.

For coding a googletalk bot in php there are some articles that should get you started:

But also consider using IMified, which does a lot of the work of creating and running chat bots for you.

If all you are interested in is a simple way to update your Facebook status from you Google Talk status, you probably don't need to go to all that work - just install the 'Google Talk Status Synchronizer' facebook application.

Since you are coding in PHP, I recommend using Jaxl (Jabber XMPP Library). It supports bot authentication using X-FACEBOOK-PLATFORM and updating facebook status should be a one line task using the library. http://github.com/abhinavsingh/JAXL
