Getting started Multidevice and Normal

// Supports ES6
// import { create, Whatsapp } from 'venom-bot';
const venom = require('venom-bot');

venom
  .create({
    session: 'session-name', //name of session
    multidevice: false // for version not multidevice use false.(default: true)
  })
  .then((client) => start(client))
  .catch((erro) => {
    console.log(erro);
  });

function start(client) {
  client.onMessage((message) => {
    if (message.body === 'Hi' && message.isGroupMsg === false) {
      client
        .sendText(message.from, 'Welcome Venom 🕷')
        .then((result) => {
          console.log('Result: ', result); //return object success
        })
        .catch((erro) => {
          console.error('Error when sending: ', erro); //return object error
        });
    }
  });
}

After executing `create()` function, venom will create an instance of whatsapp web. If you are not logged in, it will print a QR code in the terminal. Scan it with your phone and you are ready to go!

Venom will remember the session so there is no need to authenticate everytime.

Multiples sessions can be created at the same time by pasing a session name to `create()` function:

// Init sales whatsapp bot
venom.create('sales').then((salesClient) => {...});

// Init support whatsapp bot
venom.create('support').then((supportClient) => {...});

Optional create parameters

Venom create() method third parameter can have the following optional parameters:

If you are using the Linux server do not forget to pass the args --user-agent Original parameters in browserArgs

const venom = require('venom-bot');

venom
  .create(
    //session

const venom = require('venom-bot');
venom
  .create(
    'sessionName',
    undefined,
    (statusSession, session) => {
      console.log('Status Session: ', statusSession);
      //return isLogged || notLogged || browserClose || qrReadSuccess || qrReadFail || autocloseCalled || desconnectedMobile || deleteToken || chatsAvailable || deviceNotConnected || serverWssNotConnected || noOpenBrowser || initBrowser || openBrowser || connectBrowserWs || initWhatsapp || erroPageWhatsapp || successPageWhatsapp || waitForLogin || waitChat || successChat

    }
  )
  .then((client) => {
    start(client);
  })
  .catch((erro) => {
    console.log(erro);
  });

Exporting QR Code

By default QR code will appear on the terminal. If you need to pass the QR somewhere else heres how:

const fs = require('fs');
const venom = require('venom-bot');

venom
  .create(
    'sessionName',
    (base64Qr, asciiQR, attempts, urlCode) => {
      console.log(asciiQR); // Optional to log the QR in the terminal
      var matches = base64Qr.match(/^data:([A-Za-z-+\/]+);base64,(.+)$/),
        response = {};

      if (matches.length !== 3) {
        return new Error('Invalid input string');
      }
      response.type = matches[1];
      response.data = new Buffer.from(matches[2], 'base64');

      var imageBuffer = response;
      require('fs').writeFile(
        'out.png',
        imageBuffer['data'],
        'binary',
        function (err) {
          if (err != null) {
            console.log(err);
          }
        }
      );
    },
    undefined,
    { logQR: false }
  )
  .then((client) => {
    start(client);
  })
  .catch((erro) => {
    console.log(erro);
  });

Downloading Files

Puppeteer takes care of the file downloading. The decryption is being done as fast as possible (outruns native methods). Supports big files!

import fs = require('fs');
import mime = require('mime-types');

client.onMessage( async (message) => {
  if (message.isMedia === true || message.isMMS === true) {
    const buffer = await client.decryptFile(message);
    // At this point you can do whatever you want with the buffer
    // Most likely you want to write it into a file
    const fileName = `some-file-name.${mime.extension(message.mimetype)}`;
    await fs.writeFile(fileName, buffer, (err) => {
      ...
    });
  }
});

Misc

There are some tricks for a better usage of venom.

Keep session alive:

// function to detect conflits and change status
// Force it to keep the current session
// Possible state values:
// CONFLICT
// CONNECTED
// DEPRECATED_VERSION
// OPENING
// PAIRING
// PROXYBLOCK
// SMB_TOS_BLOCK
// TIMEOUT
// TOS_BLOCK
// UNLAUNCHED
// UNPAIRED
// UNPAIRED_IDLE
client.onStateChange((state) => {
  console.log('State changed: ', state);
  // force whatsapp take over
  if ('CONFLICT'.includes(state)) client.useHere();
  // detect disconnect on whatsapp
  if ('UNPAIRED'.includes(state)) console.log('logout');
});

// DISCONNECTED
// SYNCING
// RESUMING
// CONNECTED
let time = 0;
client.onStreamChange((state) => {
  console.log('State Connection Stream: ' + state);
  clearTimeout(time);
  if (state === 'DISCONNECTED' || state === 'SYNCING') {
    time = setTimeout(() => {
      client.close();
    }, 80000);
  }
});

// function to detect incoming call
client.onIncomingCall(async (call) => {
  console.log(call);
  client.sendText(call.peerJid, "Sorry, I still can't answer calls");
});

Closing (saving) sessions

Close the session properly to ensure the session is saved for the next time you log in (So it won't ask for QR scan again). So instead of CTRL+C,

// Catch ctrl+C
process.on('SIGINT', function() {
  client.close();
});

// Try-catch close
try {
   ...
} catch (error) {
   client.close();
}

Auto closing unsynced sessions

The auto close is enabled by default and the timeout is set to 60 sec. Receives the time in milliseconds to countdown until paired.

Use "autoClose: 0 | false" to disable auto closing.

Development

Building venom is really simple altough it contains 3 main projects inside

Wapi project

> npm run build:wapi

Middleware

> npm run build:middleware
> npm run build:jsQR

Venom

> npm run build:venom

To build the entire project just run

> npm run build

Installation

Getting started Multidevice and Normal

After executing `create()` function, venom will create an instance of whatsapp web. If you are not logged in, it will print a QR code in the terminal. Scan it with your phone and you are ready to go!

Venom will remember the session so there is no need to authenticate everytime.

Multiples sessions can be created at the same time by pasing a session name to `create()` function:

Optional create parameters

Callback Status Session

Exporting QR Code

Downloading Files

Basic Functions (usage)

Chatting

Here, `chatId` could be `<phoneNumber>@c.us` or `<phoneNumber>-<groupId>@g.us`
