Any unauthorized use of an app will make you potentially ban-worthy but you just have to see if people are actually getting banned for this stuff. Any credentials you provide to the bot should be considered vulnerable but I can't imagine they are harvesting them and you can check that if you glance at the source code.
I would just look at the issues and see if anything is a issue

Unfortunately the approach that this API takes is flawed and there's not a lot that can be done about accounts getting blocked. As the disclaimer in the README states, you should use this libra...
The repo hasn't been updated for a bit as well
well the api uses ur account instead of an auth token
so you might have to do some work on your end

what about the official messenger api?
Is that a thing? I don't follow it
if not you are basically gonna be reversing the api yourself or using someone else's
well, the someone else api's can threat the users privacy/security
Yeah so you have to make the choice here. If the software is open source then it can be verified by you or others to ensure its not doing anything too sussy
the repo i found is open source, but idk how its working thats why i asked for the off messneger api
i think its availalbe but hard to find

i searched there but meeh its kinda messy.
i wanted to knw if the repo i sent may cause any harm?
It can ofc since you are giving it your login details but its probably safe just from the amount of people using it. Someone would have caught it at this point. I am not gonna go through this repo and check every thing but if its for a hobby project its probably fine
Any account that is using it has the potential of getting locked/banned as well
you can't escape that other then trying to minimize your chances of it
i see
so i'll try to understand his approach
and make one from scratch
