WhatsAPI is an unofficial, reverse-engineered interface library for WhatsApp Messenger that allowed developers to send and receive messages programmatically. The project was abandoned in 2015 after legal threats from WhatsApp, and the repository was wiped.

Use cases

  • send whatsapp messages from a script
  • programmatic whatsapp messaging api
  • build a whatsapp bot
  • automate whatsapp message sending
  • integrate whatsapp notifications into my app

When to choose

  • studying the history of WhatsApp protocol reverse engineering
  • researching legacy unofficial messaging APIs

When to avoid

  • any production use today - the project is dead and legally contested
  • sending WhatsApp messages in a current application
  • building a chatbot on WhatsApp now
