Node.js SDK for WhatsApp Business Platform APIs
An unofficial SDK for Meta's WhatsApp Business Messaging APIs - Cloud API.
Getting started
// ESM
import CloudAPI from "@great-detail/whatsapp";
// CJS
const CloudAPI = require("@great-detail/whatsapp").default;
const sdk = new CloudAPI();
const message = sdk
.message({ phoneNumberID: "123...809" })
.text({ body: "Hello" }, { toNumber: "1234567890" });
const sendReceipt = await message.send();
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=""
# Send a Text Message
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
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>"
