wazzapi 0.5.0

Typed Python SDK for WazzAPI

WazzAPI Python SDK

Official Python SDK for WazzAPI.

Use it to send messages, inspect WhatsApp devices, manage contacts and templates, and verify incoming webhooks with a simple typed client.

What you can do with this SDK

• send direct WhatsApp messages
• list and inspect WhatsApp devices
• list, create, update, and delete contacts
• manage message templates and preview rendered content
• verify and parse incoming WazzAPI webhooks
• work with typed request and response models

Requirements

• Python 3.10+
• a WazzAPI account
• a WazzAPI API key

Install

From PyPI:

pip install wazzapi

With uv:

uv add wazzapi

Need a WazzAPI account first?

Sign up at https://app.wazzapi.com using your Google organization account. On first sign-in, WazzAPI creates a new workspace for you automatically.

Configuration

For most integrations, you only need your API key:

• WAZZAPI_API_KEY

If you plan to receive webhooks, also configure:

• WAZZAPI_WEBHOOK_SECRET

The SDK uses https://api.wazzapi.com by default, so you do not need to set a base URL.

Quick start

Send a message

from wazzapi import SendMessageRequest, WazzapiClient

with WazzapiClient(api_key="your-api-key") as client:
    response = client.messages.send(
        SendMessageRequest(
            phone_number="[phone]",
            whatsapp_account_id="your-whatsapp-account-id",
            content="Hello from WazzAPI!",
        )
    )

print(response.model_dump())

Error handling

When the API returns a non-success response, the SDK raises WazzapiAPIError.

from wazzapi import WazzapiAPIError, WazzapiClient

try:
    with WazzapiClient(api_key="your-api-key") as client:
        client.messages.get("missing-message-id")
except WazzapiAPIError as exc:
    print(exc.status_code)
    print(exc.message)

More usage examples

List contacts

from wazzapi import WazzapiClient

with WazzapiClient(api_key="your-api-key") as client:
    response = client.contacts.list(limit=20, search="alice")

for contact in response.contacts:
    print(contact.model_dump())

### List devices

```python
from wazzapi import WazzapiClient

with WazzapiClient(api_key="your-api-key") as client:
    response = client.devices.list(limit=20, status="connected")

for device in response.devices:
    print(device.name, device.session_name, device.status)

### Create a template

```python
from wazzapi import TemplateCreateRequest, WazzapiClient

with WazzapiClient(api_key="your-api-key") as client:
    template = client.templates.create(
        TemplateCreateRequest(
            name="welcome-message",
            category="marketing",
            content="Hi {{name}}, welcome to WazzAPI!",
        )
    )

print(template.model_dump())

Preview a template

from wazzapi import TemplatePreviewRequest, WazzapiClient

with WazzapiClient(api_key="your-api-key") as client:
    preview = client.templates.preview(
        TemplatePreviewRequest(
            content="Hi {{name}}, your code is {{code}}.",
            custom_variables={"name": "Alice", "code": "WZ-1234"},
        )
    )

print(preview.model_dump())

Webhook verification

Use WebhookHandler to verify the raw request body against X-Wazzapi-Signature before parsing JSON.

from wazzapi import WebhookHandler

handler = WebhookHandler("your-webhook-secret")
webhook = handler.verify_and_parse(raw_body, request.headers)

print(webhook.event_type)
print(webhook.data.model_dump())

WazzAPI webhook headers:

• X-Wazzapi-Signature
• X-Wazzapi-Event
• X-Wazzapi-Event-ID

Supported webhook event families:

• message events: message.received, message.sent, message.delivered, message.read, message.failed
• device events: device.connected, device.disconnected
