Installation

> npm i --save venom-bot

Getting started

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

venom.create().then((client) => start(client));

function start(client) {
  client.onMessage((message) => {
    if (message.body === 'Hi') {
      client.sendText(message.from, 'Welcome Venom 🕷');
    }
  });
}

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:

create('sessionName', qrCallback, statusFind, {
  headless: true, // Headless chrome
  devtools: false, // Open devtools by default
  useChrome: true, // If false will use Chromium instance
  debug: false, // Opens a debug session
  logQR: true, // Logs QR automatically in terminal
  browserArgs: [''], // Parameters to be added into the chrome browser instance
  refreshQR: 15000, // Will refresh QR every 15 seconds, 0 will load QR once. Default is 30 seconds
  autoClose: 60000, // Will auto close automatically if not synced, 'false' won't auto close. Default is 60 seconds (#Important!!! Will automatically set 'refreshQR' to 1000#)
  disableSpins: true, // Will disable Spinnies animation, useful for containers (docker) for a better log
});

Callback Status Session

Gets the return if the session is isLogged or if it is notLogged

create('sessionName', qrCallback, (statusFind) => {
  console.log(statusFind);
})
  .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');

// Second create() parameter is the QR callback
venom.create('sessionMarketing', (base64Qr, asciiQR) => {
  // To log the QR in the terminal
  console.log(asciiQR);

  // To write it somewhere else in a file
  exportQR(base64Qr, 'marketing-qr.png');
});

// Writes QR in specified path
function exportQR(qrCode, path) {
  qrCode = qrCode.replace('data:image/png;base64,', '');
  const imageBuffer = Buffer.from(qrCode, 'base64');

  // Creates 'marketing-qr.png' file
  fs.writeFileSync(path, imageBuffer);
}

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) {
    const buffer = await client.downloadFile(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)}`;
    fs.writeFile(fileName, buffer, function (err) {
      ...
    });
  }
});

Misc

There are some tricks for a better usage of venom.

Keep session alive:

// In case of being logged out of whatsapp web
// Force it to keep the current session
// State change
client.onStateChange((state) => {
  console.log(state);
  const conflits = [
    venom.SocketState.CONFLICT,
    venom.SocketState.UNPAIRED,
    venom.SocketState.UNLAUNCHED,
  ];
  if (conflits.includes(state)) {
    client.useHere();
  }
});

Send message to new contacts (non-added)

Also see Whatsapp links Be careful since this can pretty much could cause a ban from Whatsapp, always keep your contacts updated!

await client.sendMessageToId('[email protected]', 'Hello from venom! 👋');

Multiple sessions

If you need to run multiple sessions at once just pass a session name to create() method, not use hyphen for name of sessions.

async () => {
  const marketingClient = await venom.create('marketing');
  const salesClient = await venom.create('sales');
  const supportClient = await venom.create('support');
};

Closing (saving) sessions

Close the session properly to ensure the session is saved for the next time you log in (So it wont 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 setted to 60 sec. Receives the time in milliseconds to countdown until paired.

Important with autoClose enabled the "refreshQR" parameter is changed to 1000 (1 sec.)!

Use "autoClose: false" to disable auto closing.
