------------------------



👨‍💻 **Usage**

----------------



- Create a WhatsApp client and send a message

> See [Getting Started](https://pywa.readthedocs.io/en/latest/content/getting-started.html) for more information.



```python

from pywa import WhatsApp



wa = WhatsApp(

    phone_id="100458559237541",

    token="EAAEZC6hUxkTIB"

)



wa.send_message(

    to="9876543210",

    text="Hello from PyWa!"

)

```



- To listen to updates, create a `WhatsApp` client, pass a web server app ([FastAPI](https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/) in this example) and register callbacks:



> See [Handlers](https://pywa.readthedocs.io/en/latest/content/handlers/overview.html) for more information.



```python

# wa.py

from pywa import WhatsApp, filters

from pywa.types import Message, CallbackButton, Button

from fastapi import FastAPI



fastapi_app = FastAPI()

wa = WhatsApp(

    phone_id="1234567890",

    token="xxxxxxx",

    server=fastapi_app,

    callback_url="https://yourdomain.com/",

    verify_token="xyz123",

    app_id=123456,

    app_secret="yyyyyy"

)



@wa.on_message(filters.matches("Hello", "Hi"))

def hello(client: WhatsApp, msg: Message):

    msg.react("👋")

    msg.reply_text(

        text=f"Hello {msg.from_user.name}!",

        buttons=[

            Button(

                title="Click me!",

                callback_data="id:123"

            )

        ]

    )



@wa.on_callback_button(filters.startswith("id"))

def click_me(client: WhatsApp, clb: CallbackButton):

    clb.reply_text("You clicked me!")

```



- To run the server, use [uvicorn](https://www.uvicorn.org/) (`pip install "uvicorn[standard]"`):



```bash

uvicorn wa:fastapi_app  # see uvicorn docs for more options (port, host, reload, etc.)

```



💫 **Async Usage**



- PyWa has async support! To use the async version, replace all the imports from `pywa` to `pywa_async` and use `async`/`await`:



```python

# wa.py

import fastapi

from pywa_async import WhatsApp, types



fastapi_app = fastapi.FastAPI()

wa = WhatsApp(..., server=fastapi_app)



async def main():

    await wa.send_message(...)



@wa.on_message()

async def hello(_: WhatsApp, msg: types.Message):

    await msg.react("👋")

    await msg.reply(...)

```



```bash

uvicorn wa:fastapi_app

```



🎛 **Installation**

--------------------



- **Install using pip3:**



```bash

pip3 install -U pywa

```



- **Install from source (the bleeding edge):**



```bash

pip3 install -U git+https://github.com/david-lev/pywa.git

```



- **If you going to use the webhook features, here is shortcut to install the required dependencies:**



```bash

pip3 install -U "pywa[fastapi]"

pip3 install -U "pywa[flask]"

```



- **If you going to use the Flow features and want to use the default FlowRequestDecryptor and the default FlowResponseEncryptor, here is shortcut to install the required dependencies:**



```bash

pip3 install -U "pywa[cryptography]"

```



💾 **Requirements**

--------------------



- Python 3.10 or higher - https://www.python.org



📖 **Setup and Usage**

-----------------------



See the [Documentation](https://pywa.readthedocs.io/) for detailed instructions



☑️ **TODO**

------------



- ~~Add support for async~~

- ~~Add support for more web frameworks (Django, aiohttp, etc.)~~

- ~~Add support for flows~~

- Add support for more types of updates (``account_alerts``, ``phone_number_quality_updates``, ``template_category_updates``, etc.)

- Add more examples and guides
