Go Reference

whatsmeow is a Go library for the WhatsApp web multidevice API.

Discussion

Matrix room: #whatsmeow:maunium.net

For questions about the WhatsApp protocol (like how to send a specific type of message), you can also use the WhatsApp protocol Q&A section on GitHub discussions.

Usage

The godoc includes docs for all methods and event types. There's also a simple example at the top.

Features

Most core features are already present:

  • Sending messages to private chats and groups (both text and media)
  • Receiving all messages
  • Managing groups and receiving group change events
  • Joining via invite messages, using and creating invite links
  • Sending and receiving typing notifications
  • Sending and receiving delivery and read receipts
  • Reading and writing app state (contact list, chat pin/mute status, etc)
  • Sending and handling retry receipts if message decryption fails
  • Sending status messages (experimental, may not work for large contact lists)

Things that are not yet implemented:

  • Sending broadcast list messages (this is not supported on WhatsApp web either)
  • Calls
