The unicorn dependency in

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
There is a possibility to have multiple numberrs added under one WhatsApp Account. Those numbers must have a single webhook endoint. However, for sending a message from those numbers, those have different WhatsApp Number Ids. Since the WhatsApp Number Id is specified as phone_number_id to WhatsApp class, it seems it is not possible to work with multiple WhatsApp numbers currently.

Describe the solution you'd like
There should be an option to provide multiple WhatsApp Number Ids, so that messages can be received (and answered) from a single WhatsApp instance. From the structure of the API, it seems it is only a matter of having multiple whatsapp phone number ids configurable for WhatsApp as all the numbers are managed under same account and whatsapp api token.

Describe alternatives you've considered
The alternative is to have instance of WhatsApp per each WhatsApp number. However, since WhatsApp platform enable having multiple numbers, it would be good to match that functionality in the whatsapp-python library.

Additional context
Can you please advice whether the asumptions are correct?

Thank you.

Describe the bug
For most of the operations, I get the following errors-

    changed_field = self.instance.changed_field(data)
                    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: 'WhatsApp' object has no attribute 'instance'

To Reproduce

from whatsapp import WhatsApp

token = os.environ.get("WHATSAPP_TOKEN")
phone_number_id = os.environ.get("PHONE_ID")
app = WhatsApp(token, phone_number_id)

@app.on_message
async def on_message(message):
    question = message.content
    await message.reply(message.content)

app.run("0.0.0.0", 5000)

Expected behavior
Should echo the same message as a response.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Ubuntu
• Version: 22.04
• Python: 3.11
• Environment Manager: Poetry

Additional context
Removing .instance from all self.instance fixes this. Not sure if that's the valid fix. Maybe add test cases?

I started getting this error after a while, maybe you updated the package in pypi:

[ERROR] ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '303post1'

I see this string 303post1 in your pyproject.toml file.

I get the error:

I am getting the following error-

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: 'FastAPI' object has no attribute 'run'

To Reproduce
Copypaste the code for event listener from the wiki and run it.

Expected behavior
App server should run

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Ubuntu
• Version 22.04

Additional Context
I installed it using poetry. Currently this issue can be fixed by defining the run function as following-

def run(self, host: str = "localhost", port: int = 5000, *args, **options):
    # self.app.run(host=host, port=port, debug=debug, **options)
    uvicorn.run(self.app, host=host, port=port, *args, **options)

If relevant, I am also getting AttributeError: 'Message' object has no attribute 'instance' and AttributeError: 'Whatsapp' object has no attribute 'instance' everywhere

Tracking issue for:

• https://github.com/filipporomani/whatsapp/security/code-scanning/1

The aim is to make a library where you can handle events (such as incoming message).

The actual versions provide a webhook server for that, but that's not enough.
This feature will be developed asap.

This is being implemented. All the commits will be done on the dev branch.

Uploading a media logs the whole response JSON as an info.
This is not relevant and shouldn't cause any major security issue, however it needs to be fixed.

Tracking issue for:

• https://github.com/filipporomani/whatsapp-python/security/code-scanning/4

Hi,

I like the library. Will you be able to make a new release, so that the fixes in main would be available?

Thank you in advance!

Would be nice to have send_reaction from heyoo https://github.com/Neurotech-HQ/heyoo/blob/7e85e730d0c11f717da55bd891cdc3c4119e362c/heyoo/__init__.py#L79

Describe the bug
Running pip-install whatsapp-python does not work as intended. If fails with various errors.

For one, fast api module is missing (screenshot below).
For the other, after installing fast api, from . import ext in __init__.py causes an ImportError.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create .venv
2. Run pip install whatsapp-python

Expected behavior
Install module without errors, assuming no other conflicts, for example, conflicting module requirements.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: MacOS
• Version Sonoma 14.2

Additional context

Describe the bug
just doing pip install whatsapp-python doesn't make it run. and can be misleading for new developers who don't know what is wrong.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. make a new enviorement.
2. pip install whatsapp-python
3. try using it by importing it and get ModuleNotFoundError

Expected behavior
it should have installed

• fastapi
• uvicorn
• requests_toolkit

Additional context
just adding a requirements.txt and stating it in setup.py should work.

Describe the bug
The project does not follow pep517 (https://peps.python.org/pep-0517/) which means it does not work with modern python packaging tools such as poetry (https://python-poetry.org/)

To Reproduce

Either install poetry and try to poetry add whatsapp-python, or install with pip using pep517 as pip install --use-pep517 whatsapp-python

Expected behavior
Package should install correctly

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS:Linux

Additional Context
I made a small patch for the previously reported bug to progress further and stumbled upon this.

Hi ,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to seek assistance with an issue I am encountering while trying to send WhatsApp messages using a custom Python script. I have provided the relevant code snippet below:

from whatsapp import WhatsApp, Message

if __name__ == "__main__":
    whatsapp_token = 'EAAVXKQbbM7**uZBj'
    messenger = WhatsApp(token=whatsapp_token, phone_number_id='1830**0')
    msg = Message(instance=messenger, content="Hello World!", to="+44***91")
    response = msg.send()
    print(response)

The issue I am facing is that the script runs successfully without any errors, and the logs indicate that the message has been sent:

2024-01-26 15:32:07,236 - root - INFO - Sending message to +44**91
2024-01-26 15:32:08,044 - root - INFO - Message sent to +44***91

However, despite the successful message send logs, I am not receiving any messages on WhatsApp. It's worth noting that I do receive messages when testing using the pre-written functions in the Facebook Developer Portal.

I would greatly appreciate any guidance or suggestions you can provide to help me resolve this issue. If there are additional logs or information you need from my end, please let me know.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.
