WAHA is a self-hosted WhatsApp HTTP API that wraps multiple community engines (WEBJS, NOWEB, GOWS) behind a unified REST API and webhook interface, deployable via Docker in minutes. It supports multiple sessions, media messaging, groups, channels, and integrations with tools like n8n, Chatwoot, and MCP for AI agents.
Use cases
- send whatsapp messages from python via http api
- build a whatsapp chatbot with webhooks
- self-host a whatsapp api without a SaaS provider
- run multiple whatsapp accounts as sessions
- connect whatsapp to n8n or chatwoot
- let AI agents control whatsapp via MCP
- send whatsapp notifications from uptime kuma
When to choose
- you need a REST/webhook interface to WhatsApp in any programming language
- you want a self-hosted, Docker-deployable solution with no per-message fees
- you need to manage multiple WhatsApp accounts/sessions and scale them
- you want to swap underlying engines (browser vs websocket) without changing your code
When to avoid
- you need an officially sanctioned WhatsApp Business API with guaranteed compliance
- you cannot risk account bans, since unofficial clients may be blocked by WhatsApp
- you need a managed cloud service rather than operating your own server
