openwa-sdk 1.1.0

Official Python SDK for OpenWA WhatsApp API Gateway

OpenWA Python SDK

The official Python client library for the OpenWA REST API Gateway.

This SDK allows you to easily manage WhatsApp sessions, send text/media messages, and interact with WhatsApp groups natively in Python. It supports both Synchronous and Asynchronous workflows out of the box!

Installation

pip install openwa-sdk

Quick Start

from openwa import OpenWAClient
import asyncio

# Initialize the client (points to your self-hosted OpenWA Gateway)
client = OpenWAClient(
    base_url="http://localhost:2785", 
    api_key="secret-key"
)

# --- Synchronous Example ---
# 1. Create a session
session = client.sessions.create("my-session")
print(f"Session Created: {session}")

# 2. Start the session (returns QR code in the terminal)
client.sessions.start("my-session")

# 3. Send a message
client.messages.send_text("my-session", {
    "chatId": "[e-mail]",
    "text": "Hello from Python!"
})

# --- Asynchronous Example ---
async def main():
    async_client = client.get_async_client()
    
    # Send a message asynchronously
    await async_client.messages.send_text("my-session", {
        "chatId": "[e-mail]",
        "text": "Hello async world!"
    })

asyncio.run(main())

Features

• Fully Typed: Written with type hints for excellent IDE autocomplete.
• Sync & Async: Backed by httpx, giving you both blocking and non-blocking clients.
• Zero Overhead: Directly maps to the OpenWA OpenAPI specification.
