Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Node.js SDK for WhatsApp Business Platform APIs

An unofficial SDK for Meta's WhatsApp Business Messaging APIs - Cloud API. Originally a fork of the deprecated official SDK for Meta's WhatsApp Business Messaging APIs.

npm (scoped) Lint, Format, Test & Build

Getting started

ESM Import:

import Client from "@great-detail/whatsapp";

CJS Import:

const Client = require("@great-detail/whatsapp").default;

Usage:

const sdk = new Client();
const message = await sdk.message.createMessage({
  phoneNumberID: "123...809",
  to: "1234567890",
  type: "text",
  text: {
    body: "Hello",
  },
  request: {
    headers: {
      Authorization: "Bearer ...",
    },
  },
});

Installation

Install the WhatsApp Business Platform SDK:

# NPM:
npm install @great-detail/whatsapp

# Yarn:
yarn add @great-detail/whatsapp

# PNPM:
pnpm add @great-detail/whatsapp

CLI Usage

export WHATSAPP_ACCESS_TOKEN=""
export WHATSAPP_PHONE_NUMBER_ID=""

# NPM / Yarn / PNPM
npx @great-detail/whatsapp ...
yarn dlx @great-detail/whatsapp ...
pnpx @great-detail/whatsapp ...

# Send a Text Message
# TODO: Re-add with updated SDK
npx @great-detail/whatsapp message send text "<RECIPIENT>" --body="Hello, World!"
# Note: <RECIPIENT> may be a Phone Number ID - it may not always be the phone number itself.

# Send an Image Message
# TODO: Re-add with updated SDK
# npx @great-detail/whatsapp message send image "<RECIPIENT>" --media-id="<MEDIA_ID>"
# Use --filename="..." to set the filename of the image.
# Use --caption="..." to set a caption on the image.

# Upload a Media File
npx @great-detail/whatsapp media upload --mime-type="<MIME_TYPE>" < "<FILE_FROM_STDIN>"

# Get a Media File's URL
npx @great-detail/whatsapp media get-url "<MEDIA_ID>"
# Note: With WHATSAPP_PHONE_NUMBER_ID set, the request will check if the media
# is available for that phone number. To prevent this check, unset the env var
# or add --phone-number-id="" to the command.

# Download a Media File
npx @great-detail/whatsapp media download "<MEDIA_URL>" > "<FILE_TO_STDOUT>"

Compatibility

This SDK is designed to be compatible with the Cloud API API.

| SDK | Cloud API | NodeJS | | :--- | :-------: | -----: | | v7.x | v20 | v18+ |

Whilst the SDK may work with alternative versions of the Graph API, it is designed to work with the above. If you find any compatibility issues, please report them via GitHub Issues.

Tested on NodeJS: v21, v22, v23.

Additional NodeJS versions may also work, however, automated testing requires NodeJS' test suite, which was introduced in v21.
