- [Документация на русском языке](https://github.com/green-api/whatsapp-api-client-python/blob/master/docs/README.md).
whatsapp-api-client-python is a library for integration with WhatsApp messenger using the API
service [green-api.com](https://green-api.com/en/). You should get a registration token and an account ID in
your [personal cabinet](https://console.green-api.com/) to use the library. There is a free developer account tariff.
## API
The documentation for the REST API can be found at the [link](https://green-api.com/en/docs/). The library is a wrapper
for the REST API, so the documentation at the link above also applies.
## Authorization
To send a message or perform other GREEN API methods, the WhatsApp account in the phone app must be authorized. To
authorize the account, go to your [cabinet](https://console.green-api.com/) and scan the QR code using the WhatsApp app.
## Installation
```shell
python -m pip install whatsapp-api-client-python
```
## Import
```
from whatsapp_api_client_python import API
```
## Examples
### How to initialize an object
```
greenAPI = API.GreenAPI(
"1101000001", "d75b3a66374942c5b3c019c698abc2067e151558acbd412345"
)
```
### Sending a text message to a WhatsApp number
Link to example: [sendTextMessage.py](
https://github.com/green-api/whatsapp-api-client-python/blob/master/examples/sendTextMessage.py
).
```
response = greenAPI.sending.sendMessage("[email protected]", "Message text")
print(response.data)
```
### Sending an image via URL
Link to example: [sendPictureByLink.py](
https://github.com/green-api/whatsapp-api-client-python/blob/master/examples/sendPictureByLink.py
).
```
response = greenAPI.sending.sendFileByUrl(
"[email protected]",
"https://download.samplelib.com/png/sample-clouds2-400x300.png",
"sample-clouds2-400x300.png",
"Sample PNG"
)
print(response.data)
```
### Sending an image by uploading from the disk
Link to example: [sendPictureByUpload.py](
https://github.com/green-api/whatsapp-api-client-python/blob/master/examples/sendPictureByUpload.py
).
```
response = greenAPI.sending.sendFileByUpload(
"[email protected]",
"data/rates.png",
"rates.png",
"Available rates"
)
print(response.data)
```
### Group creation and sending a message to the group
**Attention**. If one tries to create a group with a non-existent number, WhatsApp may block the sender's number. The
number in the example is non-existent.
Link to example: [createGroupAndSendMessage.py](
https://github.com/green-api/whatsapp-api-client-python/blob/master/examples/createGroupAndSendMessage.py
).
```
create_group_response = greenAPI.groups.createGroup(
"Group Name", ["[email protected]"]
)
if create_group_response.code == 200:
send_message_response = greenAPI.sending.sendMessage(
create_group_response.data["chatId"], "Message text"
)
```
### Receive incoming messages by HTTP API
Link to example: [receiveNotification.py](
https://github.com/green-api/whatsapp-api-client-python/blob/master/examples/receiveNotification.py
).
The general concept of receiving data in the GREEN API is described [here](
https://green-api.com/en/docs/api/receiving/
). To start receiving notifications by the HTTP API you need to execute the library method:
```
greenAPI.webhooks.startReceivingNotifications(onEvent)
```
onEvent - your function which should contain parameters:
| Parameter | Description |
|-------------|----------------------------------|
| typeWebhook | received notification type (str) |
| body | notification body (dict) |
Notification body types and formats can be found [here](
https://green-api.com/en/docs/api/receiving/notifications-format/
).
This method will be called when an incoming notification is received. Next, process notifications according to the
business logic of your system.
### Sending a polling message
Link to example: [sendPoll.py](
https://github.com/green-api/whatsapp-api-client-python/blob/master/examples/sendPoll.py
).
```
response = greenAPI.sending.sendPoll(
"[email protected]",
"Please choose a color:",
[
{"optionName": "Red"},
{"optionName": "Green"},
{"optionName": "Blue"}
]
)
print(response.data)
```
