This sample code (written in Python) demonstrates integrating Facebook Chat using the X-FACEBOOK-PLATFORM authentication mechanism.
#!/usr/bin/env python
# This is a demonstration script for Facebook Chat
# using the X-FACEBOOK-PLATFORM SASL mechanism.
# It requires pyfacebook and pyxmpp to be installed.
# This client only works for desktop applications (configured in the
# developer app), and uses the old-style auth.getSession mechanism to get a
# Facebook session. For newer-style or web apps, only the
# `get_facebook_client` function should have to change.
