CLI for whatsapp

Project description

whatsapp-cli

[Disclaimer] This is not a usable solution. I will not be able to provide any support.

Limitations

  • You cannot initiate chat with users from whom you have not received a notification in the recent past. This is a pushbullet limitation as it uses reply to notification to send messages. I need to explore on using whatsapp web instead of pushbullet.

Requirements

  • This CLI uses Pushbullet APIs to receive and send messages.

  • Pushbullet App must be installed on your phone.

  • Pushbullet API token can be generated from here

  • You must be getting whatsapp notifications on your device for this to work.

  • To be able to send messages you need to receive at least one message after starting the application for seeding the conf (default location ~/.whatsapp-cli/conf).

Tested with python2.7
