👨‍💻 Usage

  • Create a WhatsApp client and send a message

from pywa import WhatsApp

wa = WhatsApp(
    phone_id='100458559237541',
    token='xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
)

wa.send_message(
    to='9876543210',
    text='Hello from PyWa!'
)
  • Create a WhatsApp client, pass a web server app (Flask in this example) and start the webhook:

from pywa import WhatsApp
from flask import Flask
from pywa.types import Message, CallbackButton, Button
from pywa.filters import text, callback

flask_app = Flask(__name__)
wa = WhatsApp(
    phone_id='1234567890',
    token='xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
    server=flask_app,
    verify_token='XYZXYZ',
)

@wa.on_message(text.matches('Hello', 'Hi'))
def hello(client: WhatsApp, msg: Message):
    msg.react('👋')
    msg.reply_text(
        text=f'Hello {msg.from_user.name}!',
        keyboard=[
            Button(
                title='Click me!',
                callback_data='id:123'
            )
        ]
    )

@wa.on_callback_button(callback.data_startswith('id'))
def click_me(client: WhatsApp, clb: CallbackButton):
    clb.reply_text('You clicked me!')

flask_app.run()  # Run the flask app to start the server
