What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded

A Go library implementing the WhatsApp Web API via reverse engineering, providing connection, QR-code login, session restore, and message handlers. It is explicitly unmaintained and expected to break with WhatsApp multi-device updates.

Use cases

  • send and receive whatsapp messages from go
  • automate whatsapp web without official api
  • build a whatsapp chatbot in go
  • restore whatsapp sessions without rescanning qr code
  • handle whatsapp media messages programmatically

When to avoid

  • you need a maintained library - use tulir/whatsmeow instead
  • you need WhatsApp multi-device support
  • you are building anything production-facing
