WhatsApp API (java/python) [closed]

问题:

I am looking for WhatsApp API, preferably a Python or Java library.

I've tried Yowsup, but could not get my number registered; I am based in India and I am not sure if that has got anything to do with it.

I did try WhatsAPI (Python library) but it is not working either.

Any suggestions about this? Any users of Yowsup here?

回答1:

After trying everything, Yowsup library worked for me. The bug that I was facing was recently fixed. Anyone trying to do something with Whatsapp should try it.

回答2:

Yowsup provide best solution with example.you can download api from https://github.com/tgalal/yowsup let me know if you have any issue.

回答3:

This is the developers page of the Open WhatsApp official page: http://openwhatsapp.org/develop/

You can find a lot of information there about Yowsup.

Or, you can just go the the library's link (which I copied from the Open WhatsApp page anyway): https://github.com/tgalal/yowsup

Enjoy!

WhatsApp Inc. does not provide an open API but a reverse-engineered library is made available on GitHub by the team Venomous on the GitHub. This however according to my knowledge is made possible in PHP. You can check the link here: https://github.com/venomous0x/WhatsAPI

Hope this helps

For some of my technical experiments, I was trying to figure out how beneficial and feasible it is to implement bots for different chat platforms in terms of market share and so possibilities of adaptation. Especially when you have bankruptly failed twice, it's important to validate ideas and fail more faster.

Popular chat platforms like Messenger, Slack, Skype etc. have happily (in the sense officially) provided APIs for bots to interact with, but WhatsApp has not yet provided any API.

However, since many years, a lot of activities has happened around this - struggle towards automated interaction with WhatsApp platform:

1. Bots App Bots App is interesting because it shows that something is really tried and tested.

2. Yowsup A project still actively developed to interact with WhatsApp platform.

3. Yallagenie Yallagenie claim that there is a demo bot which can be interacted with at [phone]

4. Hubtype Hubtype is working towards having a bot platform for WhatsApp for business.

5. Fred Fred's task was to automate WhatsApp conversations, however since it was not officially supported by WhatsApp - it was shut down.

6. Oye Gennie A bot blocked by WhatsApp.

7. App/Website to WhatsApp We can use custom URL schemes and Android intent system to interact with WhatsApp but still NOT WhatsApp API.

8. Chat API daemon Probably created by inspecting the API calls in WhatsApp web version. NOT affiliated with WhatsApp.

9. WhatsBot Deactivated WhatsApp bot. Created during a hackathon.

10. No API claim WhatsApp co-founder clearly stated this in a conference that they did not had any plans for APIs for WhatsApp.

11. Bot Ware They probably are expecting WhatsApp to release their APIs for chat bot platforms.

12. Vixi They seems to be talking about how some platform which probably would work for WhatsApp. There is no clarity as such.

13. Unofficial API This API can shut off any time.

    And the number goes on...
