Full skill instructions

Lark (Feishu) API

Complete Lark/​Feishu integration for enterprise collaboration, including messaging, group management, contacts, and calendar.

When to Use

  • Send automated notifications to users or groups
  • Build interactive bot workflows
  • Manage group chats and members
  • Query contacts and organization structure
  • Sync calendar events and schedules
  • Integrate Lark with other systems

Prerequisites

Set the following environment variables:

export LARK_APP_ID=cli_xxxxx
export LARK_APP_SECRET=xxxxx

Get your credentials from: https://open.larkoffice.com/

Required Permissions

Enable these API scopes in your Lark app:

  • im:message - Send and read messages
  • im:chat - Manage group chats
  • contact:user.base:readonly - Read contacts
  • calendar:calendar - Manage calendars

Token Management

Lark uses tenant access tokens that expire after 2 hours. Use this helper to get or refresh the token:

# Get or refresh token (cached to /​tmp/​lark_token.json)
get_lark_token() {
  local token_file="/​tmp/​lark_token.json"
  local current_time=$(date +%s)

  # Check if cached token is still valid
  if [ -f "$token_file" ]; then
    local expire_time=$(jq -r '.expire_time // 0' "$token_file" 2>/​dev/​null || echo "0")
    if [ "$current_time" -lt "$expire_time" ]; then
      jq -r '.tenant_access_token' "$token_file"
      return 0
    fi
  fi

  # Get new token
  local response=$(curl -s -X POST "https://open.feishu.cn/​open-apis/​auth/​v3/​tenant_access_token/​internal" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/​json" \
    -d "{\"app_id\": \"${LARK_APP_ID}\", \"app_secret\": \"${LARK_APP_SECRET}\"}")

  local code=$(echo "$response" | jq -r '.code // -1')
  if [ "$code" != "0" ]; then
    echo "Error: $(echo "$response" | jq -r '.msg')" >&2
    return 1
  fi

  local expire=$(echo "$response" | jq -r '.expire')
  local expire_time=$((current_time + expire - 300))
  echo "$response" | jq ". + {expire_time: $expire_time}" > "$token_file"
  jq -r '.tenant_access_token' "$token_file"
}

# Usage in commands
TOKEN=$(get_lark_token)

Or get token directly without caching:

TOKEN=$(bash -c 'curl -s -X POST "https://open.feishu.cn/​open-apis/​auth/​v3/​tenant_access_token/​internal" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/​json" \
  -d "{\"app_id\": \"${LARK_APP_ID}\", \"app_secret\": \"${LARK_APP_SECRET}\"}"' | jq -r '.tenant_access_token')

Guidelines

  1. Token Management: Tokens expire after 2 hours. Use the get_lark_token helper function for automatic caching and refresh.

  2. Rate Limits: Lark has rate limits per app. Add delays for bulk operations to avoid hitting limits.

  3. ID Types: Use open_id for most user operations. Use chat_id when targeting group chats.

  4. Card Builder: Design complex interactive cards using Lark Card Builder: https://open.larkoffice.com/tool/cardbuilder

  5. Error Handling: Check the code field in responses. 0 means success, non-zero indicates an error.

  6. Content Escaping: Message content must be JSON-escaped when passed as string. Use jq to build complex payloads:

    CONTENT=$(jq -n --arg text "Hello" '{text: $text}')
    curl ... -d "{\"content\": \"$(echo $CONTENT | jq -c .)\"}"
    
  7. Date Conversion: Calendar events require Unix timestamps. Use date command with appropriate flags for your OS:

    • Linux: date -d "2025-01-15T10:00:00+08:00" +%s
    • macOS: date -j -f "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%z" "2025-01-15T10:00:00+08:00" +%s
