I'm wanting to use a command line interface for Google hangouts, instead of having the Chrome extension. Is there anything about?

Yes, there is a github repo
for this by tdryer written in python called Hangups.
Installation is via pip3
:
Update first:
sudo apt update
Install
pip3
if absent:sudo apt install python-pip
Install
hangups
:pip3 install hangups

Spent a fair amount of time installing this, and after doing so it appears that this is designed to be a terminal-based interactive interface, with no command line options to send messages. Am I missing something? Dec 31, 2019 at 0:37

To send hangouts messages from the command line, use a script [like this one] after installing Hangups as above. (gist.github.com/tdryer/0cf6903eeb3dc948bae0). Dec 31, 2019 at 2:53
