wacli is a single-binary Go CLI that pairs as a linked WhatsApp Web device via whatsmeow, mirrors message history into a local SQLite store with FTS5 full-text search, and exposes send, media, contact, and group workflows. It is designed for terminals, shell scripts, and coding agents, with JSON output, webhooks, and a read-only mode.
Use cases
- search whatsapp messages from the command line
- send whatsapp messages from a script
- sync whatsapp chat history to a local database
- automate whatsapp from coding agents
- export whatsapp messages as json
- manage whatsapp chats, contacts, and groups via cli
When to choose
- you need scriptable, JSON-friendly WhatsApp access from the terminal
- you want fast offline full-text search over your WhatsApp history
- you want a single binary with no daemon or plugin host
- you need a safe read-only mode for agent or automation use
When to avoid
- you need an official, Meta-supported WhatsApp API client
- you need a graphical WhatsApp interface
- you depend on guaranteed full message history, since history sync is best-effort
- you cannot accept the risk of an unofficial client being disconnected by WhatsApp
