Usage
Authentication
When first starting the app, it will need to authenticate you by presenting you with a QR code that you will need to scan by selecting "Link devices" on your device with the Whatsapp app installed and observing the QR code. After authenicated, the app will check if you have unread messages.
Reading Feed Data
After the feed is initialized, you will be able to request JSON formatted data from the feed at its address. To see this in action:
- Open your browser and go url
http://localhost:3000
(or whichever address you have the app running). - You will see a JSON-formatted response with relevant data.
This format is structured in a way interpretable by the Master List apps. But you could also use this feed for other purposes if you wanted.
