A self-hosted REST API built with Node.js, Express, and whatsapp-web.js that lets applications send WhatsApp messages programmatically via HTTP requests. It uses a queue-based worker process, JWT authentication, and a MySQL database with TypeORM, deployable via Docker or Heroku.
Use cases
- send whatsapp messages from an api
- automate whatsapp notifications from my app
- self-hosted whatsapp rest api
- send whatsapp alerts from a webhook or backend
- integrate whatsapp messaging into a nodejs application
- queue and send bulk whatsapp messages
When to choose
- you need a simple self-hosted HTTP interface for sending WhatsApp messages
- you want queue-based message sending with JWT-protected endpoints
- you're comfortable with unofficial WhatsApp Web automation for study or internal projects
When to avoid
- you need an officially supported, ToS-compliant WhatsApp Business API
- you require guaranteed delivery at scale without risk of account bans
- you need production-grade reliability and support for business-critical messaging
