WhatsApp Cloud API is complicated, Twilio is expensive, PyGwan is the opposite of both. Free & Intuitive! ~ Tarmica Chiwara.
Unofficial Python wrapper for the WhatsApp Cloud API by Tarmica Chiwara.
To install the WhatsApp Python wrapper, use the following command:
pip install pygwan
Import the WhatsApp class from the package and initialize an instance with your WhatsApp token and phone number ID:
from pygwan import WhatsApp
whatsapp = WhatsApp(token="your_token", phone_number_id="your_phone_number_id")
You can send a text message to a WhatsApp user using the send_message method:
whatsapp.send_message("Hello, this is a test message.", "recipient_phone_number")
Reply to a message using the reply_to_message method:
whatsapp.reply_to_message("message_id", "recipient_phone_number", "Reply message.")
Send a template message using the send_template method:
components = [
# List of template components
# Example: {"type": "text", "text": "Hello, this is a template message."}
]
whatsapp.send_template("template_name", "recipient_phone_number", components)
Send a location message using the send_location method:
whatsapp.send_location("-23.564", "-46.654", "Location Name", "Location Address", "recipient_phone_number")
Send an image message using the send_image method:
image_link = "https://example.com/image.jpg"
whatsapp.send_image(image_link, "recipient_phone_number")
