WbizTool Client

A Python client library for the WbizTool API, making it easy to integrate WhatsApp messaging capabilities into your Python applications.

About WbizTool

WbizTool is a powerful platform that provides WhatsApp API integration for businesses. With WbizTool, you can automate your WhatsApp messaging workflow and engage with your customers more effectively.

Visit wbiztool.com to create an account and get your API credentials.

Installation

pip install wbiztool-client

Authentication

You'll need an API key and client ID from your WbizTool account:

  • Log in to your WbizTool account
  • Go to API Keys section
  • Generate a new API key if you don't have one

Using Environment Variables

You can set your credentials as environment variables:

export WBIZTOOL_API_KEY=your_api_key
export WBIZTOOL_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id

The client will automatically use these variables if not provided explicitly during initialization.

Quick Start

from wbiztool_client import WbizToolClient

# Option 1: Initialize with explicit credentials
client = WbizToolClient(
    api_key='your_api_key',
    client_id='your_client_id'  # Optional, can be provided with each request
)

# Option 2: Initialize using environment variables
client = WbizToolClient()  # Will use WBIZTOOL_API_KEY and WBIZTOOL_CLIENT_ID

# Option 3: Initialize and validate credentials immediately
try:
    client = WbizToolClient(validate_credentials=True)
    print("Credentials are valid!")
except ValueError as e:
    print(f"Invalid credentials: {e}")

# Check if API is operational
status = client.health_check()
print(status)

# Send a simple text message
response = client.send_message(
    phone='919876543210',  # Include country code
    msg='Hello from Python!',
    msg_type=0  # 0 for text message
)
print(response)
