# Installation
|
|
|
|
Only thing that you must have - installed docker. Please follow the original
|
|
instruction [how to install docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker pull allburov/whatsapp-http-api
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# First Steps
|
|
|
|
We are going to show how to use WhatsApp HTTP API.
|
|
|
|
TODO: Add GIF here
|
|
|
|
## Run and login
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker run -it -v `pwd`/tokens:/app/tokens -p 127.0.0.1:3000:3000/tcp allburov/whatsapp-http-api
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you are not logged in, it will print a QR code in the terminal. Scan it with your phone and you are ready to go!
|
|
We will remember the session so there is no need to authenticate everytime.
|
|
[How to log in - the instruction on WhatsApp site](https://faq.whatsapp.com/general/download-and-installation/how-to-log-in-or-out/?lang=en)
|
|
|
|
After that open in a browser the link and you'll see API swagger specification for you own WhatsApp HTTP API
|
|
http://localhost:3000/#/
|
|
|
|
## Get a screenshot
|
|
|
|
Go to the "screenshot" section and get a screenshot http://localhost:3000/#/screenshot
|
|
|
|
## Send a text message
|
|
|
|
Let's try to send a message:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Phone without +
|
|
export PHONE=79776772457
|
|
curl -d "{\"chatId\": \"${PHONE}@c.us\", \"text\": \"Hello from WhatsApp HTTP API Free\" }" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/sendText
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Echo
|
|
|
|
To show how to receive messages we'll create a simple "echo" server with two functions:
|
|
|
|
1. When we receive a text message - just send the text back
|
|
2. When we receive a message with a file (an image, a voice message) - download it and send the path back
|
|
|
|
In order to send you messages we use webhooks and configure them via environments variables. So what you need to
|
|
create "echo" server is HTTP server that will receive JSON POST request and then call back WhatsApp HTTP API
|
|
via `POST /api/sendText` endpoint with JSON body.
|
|
|
|
### Python echo server
|
|
|
|
We use Python. Feel free to create your favorite language example and contribute to the project!
|
|
|
|
Run "echo" server in one terminal and leave it working:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# if you haven't already
|
|
git clone https://github.com/allburov/whatsapp-http-api.git
|
|
cd whatsapp-http-api
|
|
python -mpip install -r examples/requirements.txt
|
|
export FLASK_APP=examples/echo.py
|
|
flask run
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Visit http://localhost:5000 and check that we are good to go further.
|
|
|
|
Let's start WhatsApp HTTP API and configure the "on message" webhook and point it on our "http://localhost:5000/message"
|
|
endpoint:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker run -it -v `pwd`/tokens:/app/tokens --network=host -e WHATSAPP_HOOK_ONMESSAGE=http://localhost:5000/message allburov/whatsapp-http-api
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now go ahead, open the second whatsapp and send to our WhatsApp HTTP API a text message! It must reply the same text.
|
|
|
|
# Environment variables
|
|
|
|
## Common
|
|
|
|
- `DEBUG` - show debug and verbose logs, set in any value
|
|
- `WHATSAPP_API_PORT` - listen port for HTTP server (default: `3000`)
|
|
- `WHATSAPP_API_HOSTNAME` - Hostname for HTTP server (default: `localhost`)
|
|
|
|
## Webhooks
|
|
|
|
The description of [webhooks you can in Venom README.md, section Events](https://github.com/orkestral/venom#events)
|
|
|
|
All webhooks are disabled by default:
|
|
|
|
- `WHATSAPP_HOOK_ONMESSAGE=http://localhost/uri`
|
|
- `WHATSAPP_HOOK_ONSTATECHANGE=http://localhost/uri`
|
|
- `WHATSAPP_HOOK_ONACK=http://localhost/uri`
|
|
- `WHATSAPP_HOOK_ONADDEDTOGROUP=http://localhost/uri`
|
|
|
|
## File storage
|
|
|
|
- `WHATSAPP_FILES_FOLDER` - folder where will be stored files from chats (images, voice messages) (
|
|
default: `/tmp/whatsapp-files`)
|
|
- `WHATSAPP_FILES_MIMETYPES` - download only these mimetypes from messages (download all files be default). Mimetypes
|
|
must be separated by a comma, without spaces: `audio,image/png,image/gif`. In order to choose type use prefix (
|
|
like `audio,image`).
|
|
- `WHATSAPP_FILES_LIFETIME`- to keep free space files will be removed after this time (default: `180`, in seconds)
|
|
