Quick Start

Installation

pip install lark-oapi
# Or use the enhanced version
pip install lark-oapi-compact

Basic Configuration

import lark_oapi as lark

# Create client
client = lark.Client.builder() \
    .app_id("your_app_id") \
    .app_secret("your_app_secret") \
    .build()

Environment Variables

Development and testing require these environment variables:

• FEISHUAPPID - Application ID (应用 ID)
• FEISHUAPPSECRET - Application Secret (应用密钥)
• FEISHUGROUPROBOTWEBHOOKURL - Group robot Webhook (optional)

Usage Guide

Finding API Usage

1. Basic API calls: Check source/oapi-sdk-python/samples/
2. Convenience wrappers: Check source/oapi-sdk-python-compact/src/larkoapicompact/shortcut/
3. Complete scenarios: Check corresponding example projects in source/lark-samples/

Recommended Development Workflow

1. Identify your scenario (机器人/robot, 网页应用/web app, API call)
2. Find similar examples in lark-samples
3. Use oapi-sdk-python for API calls
4. For complex scenarios, use oapi-sdk-python-compact shortcut functions
