Welcome to best REST API for WhatsApp. This library provide you an complete solution for WhatsApp REST API without any necessities of code or change anything, obviously, if you want, you can contribute but give this information for us over PR. - Important to know, it's not an official solution - if you need something professional please don't use this package.

Special thanks to developers of amazing packages used here, Mohammed Shah (smashah) and Total.js (totaljs)

This package was thought to be used as service for each connection, so you need to understand the structure of files and folders before start - please read with attention.

Each connection with WhatsApp will need an dedicated running of this, you can run a lot of connections on the same server using PM2 or forever. For better approach too we will provide you an Docker solution.

Each client is undertood as INSTANCE, we gonna set an instance NUMBER for him, to identify after if necessary. If you are running this probably you need to receive messages, the struture of receive will be over WEBHOOK post events, so you need to configure your preffered address too. (TIP: use some service as https://requestcatcher.com/ to test ). Another important thing to set is some TOKEN, this is used for protect your inbound endpoint. For a high level of changes you will need to set an MASTERKEY too, that can be used to do profound changes on server like restarts and force stops.

To start - download the package, open /config file and set variables below - please respect type of variables or your code will not run properly

//WhatsApp Configurations		
instance            : 83430
webhook             : http://localhost:3000
token               : j19ksi1mim1lksm12213
masterKey           : w2apiisthebestlibrary

> npm install && node debug.js

As soon you start the project navigate to address http://localhost/83430/qrCode and scan the qrCode using your mobile.

Full documentation library can be found over Postman Collection, best way to share regardless of the language you prefer to use.

All the examples below are provided in CURL to allow as many users as possible to enjoy the solutions created, however if you use any specific language feel free to download the Postman collection here and get the code in its best language for you.

At any request you can use "chatId" or "phone" paramether but at the least one of them is necessary to works.

curl --location --request POST 'localhost:8000/83430/sendMessage?token=j19ksi1mim1lksm12213' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
	"chatId":"[email protected]",
	"body": "W2API - Best REST API for WhatsApp"
}'

This will be sent as attached file, it's not like an audio recorded on mobile device. Attention, at this example we use PHONE body paramether, so it's possible send requests using

curl --location --request POST 'localhost:8000/83430/sendPTT?token=j19ksi1mim1lksm12213' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
	"phone":"PHONE_NUMBER",
	"audio": "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/68/Crescendo_example.ogg"
}'

Request response:

{
    "status": true
}

This will be sent as attached file, it's important pay attention on maxfilesize allowed.

curl --location --request POST 'localhost:8000/83430/sendFile?token=j19ksi1mim1lksm12213' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
	"phone":"PHONE_NUMBER",
	"body": "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/ru/3/33/NatureCover2001.jpg",
	"filename": "NatureCover2001.jpg",
	"caption": "W2API - Best REST API for WhatsApp"
}'

To avoid issues with use of this library, it's not allowed start conversations, you only can answer who already talked to you. I can't garantee your number will not be blocked from WhatsApp - You need to be aware of the use you will be making of this tool, be aware you are only responsible for each and every use of this library.

Remember, be blocked from WhatsApp can be unreversible.

I'm looking forward to seeing what you can build out of it, so if you create something using this library, please let me know. If you develop something interesting we will be waiting for your PULL REQUEST.
