I'm building a Facebook messanger bot and I'm trying to get users live location but the "get location" button available on the api only gets the current (longitude, latitude) Is there a way to get the live location after one permission? And if not will it be in the soon feature please? Thanks you.

The user need to send you their location. You can't track them. – WizKid Mar 30 '17 at 03:49

It's for a taxi app can't i get a live location after they accept a permission once? – Hossam Samir Mar 30 '17 at 03:52

I've built a bot on facebook and as far as I know the location pin is the only way to get a users location. As a bot is just a page talking back automatically you would need to share your permanent location with that page, which may have a considerable number of ramifications for other kinds of pages. – Datise Mar 30 '17 at 04:24

Correct. The user manually need to send the location when you need it – WizKid Mar 30 '17 at 18:35

Make an Android or iOS app that people installs. There is no way to do it in a messenger bot. – WizKid Mar 30 '17 at 20:29
