Getting Started

Obtain a dataframe from your chat log file

Export your WhatsApp chat using your phone and send it to your computer. Make sure to choose the correct format of the header. In the example here, the header (see example.txt) uses the syntax '%d.%m.%y, %H:%M - %name:'. Header example: 07.08.2016, 19:30 - Misty:

from whatstk.core import WhatsAppChat

filename = 'chats/example.txt'
# [IMPORTANT] Choose header format accordingly
hformat = '%d.%m.%y, %H:%M - %name:'
chat = WhatsAppChat.from_txt(filename, hformat)

Plot the cumulative messages sent by day

Once you have your chat object, you can visualise the cumulative number of messages sent per day using the following code

from whatstk.core import interventions
counts = interventions(chat, 'date', msg_length=False)
counts_cumsum = counts.cumsum()

# Plot result
from plotly.offline import plot
from whatstk.plot import vis
plot(vis(counts_cumsum, 'cumulative characters sent per day'))

Note: More examples to come soon.
