WhatsPy

Python Whatsapp API based on Selenium and ChromeDriver

Working as of Mar 09 2020

limitations

• All web.whatsapp.com limitations
• Scan QRCode on first run
• You must have a persons number saved to your phone
• You must set the contact exact and complete saved name
• Names must be unique in your contacts list

QRCode scan

A PNG file is saved at local root directory as qrcode.png for scaning with yout phone. WhatsPy will try to save a profile so you don't need to scan the qrcode everytime. Keep in mind that whatsapp logs you out if you try to login in multiple browsers.

Chrome Install

WhatsPy uses a Chrome class that is just a wraper for the Selenum default implementation that adds a few easy to use enhancements.

To use chrome with selenium you will need ChromeDriver.

A .whatspy directory will be added to your home directory to save chrome profile.
