WhatsApp (WAHA API)

Interact with WhatsApp via WAHA HTTP API. All scripts use uv run --with httpx and read config from ~/documents/whatsapp/.env.

Configuration

Scripts auto-load ~/documents/whatsapp/.env. Required variables:

•WAHA_API_KEY - API key (sent as X-Api-Key header)
•WAHA_BASE_URL - Base URL (e.g. https://whatsapp.wyvern-vector.ts.net)

Chat ID Format

•Personal: <phone>@c.us (e.g. 6281234567890@c.us)
•Group: <id>@g.us (e.g. 120363012345678901@g.us)

Scripts

All scripts are in scripts/ and share scripts/waha_client.py for auth/config.

Direct API Calls

For operations not covered by scripts, call the API directly. See references/api_reference.md for all endpoints and schemas.

Example with httpx:

python

from waha_client import client, check, pp
with client() as c:
    pp(check(c.put("/api/reaction", json={"messageId": "msg_id", "reaction": "👍", "session": "default"})))
