JavaScript WhatsApp client using WhatsAPI.
- Clone or download a copy of aesedepece's WhatsAPI fork.
- Put it somewhere in a web server capable of running PHP. This doesn't need to be a public server, a localhost Apache or IIS works fine.
- Clone or download a copy of Guasa.
- (If you put Guasa in the web server) access with your favourite browser (not MSIE, please) to the proper URL, i.e.:
http://localhost/Guasa/index.htmorhttp://example.com/Guasa/index.htm. - (If you put Guasa wherever in a PC) just open
index.htmwith Mozilla Firefox (most browsers don't allow some HTML5 features to be runned locally but FF does). - Fill in the login form. "WhatsAPI URL" is the URL for WhatsAPI server, i.e.:
http://localhost/WhatsAPI/server.phporhttp://example.com/WhatsAPI/server.php. "IMEI" is the actual IMEI belonging to the phone you registered your WA account with. - That's all. Enjoy!
- The device hosting WhatsAPI needs to be in a network where traffic through port 5222 is allowed. You can check if you can reach WhatsApp servers by executing
telnet c.whatsapp.net 5222in bash or cmd. - The protocol used by WhatsApp is quite unsafe (both Guasa and official client). We discourage the use of this app for talking about sensitive subjects or "gunpowder plots".
