from what I know , in the core version , it is not possible .
in the plus version though , you can save the session , and restart the docker container with the new websocket url, is that right ?

another question , let's say that I have the plus version , and I host 5 phone numbers on it , is there a way to assign different web sockets to each ? (I don't want to make a proxy server that filters and forwards the messages to individual web sockets )

hi , currently the docker container in unusable
1 - issues with the web.js engine (I opened another issues for that )
2 - cannot send messages with the venom engine (unlimited spin)

more detalis :
the venom engine works just fine , the only problem is that I cannot reply to customers
the get and the post endpoints, stopped working (unlimited spin)

I tried re-launching the container, but nothing changed

I receive the below:

hello dear,
everthing works.
but when i resetart the server it lose the session.
i check the /app/tokens and its empty.

how can i keep the session ?

with the venom engine when you verify the existence of phone numbers it never returns a false , it simply times out.
in other words if the phone number is not on whatsapp it does not return a response.

hi every time that I check if a phone number is on whatsapp I get a 422

{
  "statusCode": 422,
  "message": "The method is not implemented by the engine.",
  "error": "Unprocessable Entity"
}

I tried using both engines, but with VENOM , it's worse , it returns a 500

version : latest@plus
when I scan the whatsapp qr code , this is what I get

{
  "statusCode": 422,
  "message": "The session under FAILED status. Please try to restart it.",
  "error": "Unprocessable Entity"
}

this is happening with all new sessions , I tried restarting , but it does not work (I tried restarting , starting new sessions about 7-8 times )

Do you have any plan for Heroku deployment?

According to people needs - we should add endpoints to control Groups
#33

• Create group
• List of all groups
• Get group
• Delete group
• Leave group
• Group - setDescription
• Group - setSubject
• Invite - get invite code
• Invite - Revoke invite code
• Participants - add participants to group
• Participants - promote participants to admin
• Participants - demote participants to user

hi , I have 5 numbers running on waha plus
one number has high traffic (5 messages per minute inbound and outbound).
the session crashed a few minutes ago (I could not take a screenshot , [infinite spinning loop on swagger ui]).

so I decided to stop it and re-start it (with the same name) , and this is what it returns when I request a screenshot

so , the whatsapp spinner keeps spinning in an infinite loop , so it does not return any QR code (it's been like this for the past 20-30 mins)

note 1 :
the session is still "starting"

note 2:
I created a new session with a different name , and everything works perfectly fine , so the problem here is that if the session crashes, I cannot restart it with the same name

note 3 :
I have the plus version , so ,I can store sessions.
this is the command that I ran to create the docker container

docker run -it -v pwd/.sessions:/app/.sessions -e WHATSAPP_HOOK_EVENTS=message -e WHATSAPP_HOOK_URL=http://XXX.XXX.XXX:XXXXX/api/post/ -it --rm -p XXXXX:3000/tcp --name docker_tmp_plus_kill devlikeapro/whatsapp-http-api-plus

I have tried both WhatsApp-http-api and whatsapp-api-venom (https://github.com/diazzaid/whatsapp-api-venom)

but it's still the same. please help me to resolve the issue!

{"statusCode":501,"message":"Not Implemented"}%

Thanks!🙂

How to get information about a user by number? avatar, online status

I was wondering why send image is not implemented in the core version for the default account.

Please add it in the next update. Thanks.

Is it possible to send a message to a group?
I couldn't find it and I would find it very useful

I would use it by providing the group name and the message to send

Please add list options and link preview url mate :D

Something like this - https://medium.com/@Dee_Mayoor/apikey-authentication-for-nestjs-using-passport-js-6db467fc31f7 

Key must be supported two formats:

1. HTTP Headers X-WHATSAPP-TOKEN
2. Get parameter ?x-whatsapp-token

Readme - add a simple example with "echo" python server
In order to show how to use env variables and hooks

1. Simple echo message
2. Download file and send a path to the file back (into tmp folder)

Can someon tell me how to send an image using API? Thanks before.

I noticed that when trying to follow the steps on my Macbook pro M1 pro I'm having some issues.

When running

docker run -it --rm -p 127.0.0.1:3000:3000/tcp --name whatsapp-http-api devlikeapro/whatsapp-http-api

I received a warning

WARNING: The requested image's platform (linux/amd64) does not match the detected host platform (linux/arm64/v8) and no specific platform was requested

and when using the API, I got an error.

[Nest] 28  - 12/18/2022, 2:06:38 AM   ERROR [WhatsappSession - default] Error: Failed to launch the browser process!

TROUBLESHOOTING: https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer/blob/main/docs/troubleshooting.md

After some research, I found that it's because my processor is not compatible with this app.

Then I began again adding some parameters to the commands.
First,

docker pull --platform linux/amd64 devlikeapro/whatsapp-http-api

Then I run

docker run --platform linux/amd64 -it --rm -p 127.0.0.1:3000:3000/tcp --name whatsapp-http-api devlikeapro/whatsapp-http-api

with any warning or error 💪

But when I tried to POST api/sessions/start I got this error (the same error as before)

WhatsApp HTTP API is running on: http://[::1]:3000

I think that the docker image is not ready to work with these kinds of processors. Could you make it work, please?
Thanks!

in this case I am sending a request to STOP endpoint, but it's the same for all other endpoints

I would like to send a text message to a group with number as "[email protected]", however it turns out "internal server error" and failed.

curl -X 'GET'

Can you please add a password for accessing panel? So it prevent "unauthorized access"

please fix sendlinkpreview and sendbuttons at default engine mate, its me hahaha

Hi Again,

I just realize, if i have started one session and actively using than if i tried to create second or third sessions they are not starting always dropping to error and than i realize one thing more its consuming really high cpu and memory usage as you can see below screenshot attachments.

Also you can check log files which i added here.

_WAHA_logs (1).txt

Best Regards,
SFN

------- Update; I wouldn't like create for the same issue second part but you can check from here

When i create first session, there is not problem it's working but when i try to create second session it's not working usually

One little question ❓ If i would like to use for 100 session or more what's your idea for the same docker with multiple session RAM or CPU requirements ?

Thank you from now,
SFN

Can you give example of the json code via which we can send buttons along with a text?

Thanks for all the work and effort you have done till date :)

I was checking the memory graphs in AWS where I have deployed WAHA and I found that it's consuming more memory day after day

Are you aware of that? Is there something I can do to free up some memory?

The peak down you see on 1/28 is because the session was closed.

The api was working fine last night, when i wake up the bot isn't sending msgs anymore. That error is in place now.

How to solve this?

}

From #37 (comment)

To resolve this issue, it is recommended to ensure that the webhooks are fully initialized on the server before making the endpoints available for the , in order to avoid the freeze in the docker container.

No requests are allowed (except qr screenshot) to the session till it has been authorized and fully configured

In the documentation you say “We don't recommend expose the API in the internet without authentication!”

I imagine that somebody has already done it.

Do you provide a way to do it or I should add the piece of code to do it? If so, please give me some guidance on how to do it.

Getting error while installing through docker on fresh server.

I am not a hero with api's but do you know any platform that would make it easy to integrate this? something like chatwoot?

Show QR and screenshot on Swagger page in order to avoid using console at all

Hi! I'm having an issue when trying to hit the endpoint /api/sendLocation

I'm getting an error

{
"statusCode": 422,
"message": "The method is not implemented by the engine.",
"error": "Unprocessable Entity"
}

It seems that this feature is only supported by Venom engine and I'm using WebJS

Could you please make it work with both engines?

Pull, start, login (from phone), get screenshot, send a text message)

Hi Again,

First of all Thank you for quick response the issues @allburov If i am not misunderstanding /api/checkNumberStatus Check number status it's for the WA Number is Online / Offline status check ? If it's like that, it should return as a true if the wa number is online if not the number status false ?

Thank you,
SFN

a GET endpoint for messages (10 messages , or from 10-20 , 20-30 , 30-90 , to optimize the payload).

Hello! This project looks very cool and polished, but I'd like to send you a few questions via email with some concerns I have (I am deciding if I can use it for a client). Is there any email address where I could ask these questions?

Thanks

If I start from compose, it show like this:
But if start from "run -it", it does not have a problem...

Edit : the problem is cannot access to WA web. Also when I tried to ping to WhatsApp, it does not respond.

engine : default engine
waha details :

{
  "version": "2022.12.11",
  "tier": "CORE"
}

how to replicate : simple, start a session and scan a qr code, wait a few seconds and bam, red stuff on the console.

more details:

error that I get when I call the screenshot endpoint after scanning the qr code

{
  "statusCode": 422,

error on the console:

possible solution :
pedroslopez/whatsapp-web.js#1913 (comment)

hi
Q1 - is there a way to disable webhook retires on the plus version ? (web.js)
Q2 - how much time does the waha server wait before attempting again ? is it possible to increase/decrease this time ?

hi, there is no endpoint to send messages to groups.
and there is no way to get the chat id of groups.

Hi, first of all, you did a great job here.

I cant get info from the API because my server runs over https and the API is http. Is there any documentation about ssl in api or swagger running in docker?

Hi,

I am using VENOM core and i just remark when i scan qr, my phone whatsapp notifications becoming silent ?

Thank you
