Python library for intagration with WhatsAPP messanger via API of [green-api.com](https://green-api.com) service. To use the library you have to get a registration token and an account id in the [personal area](https://console.green-api.com). There is a free developer account tariff plan.

## API

You can find REST API documentation by [url](https://green-api.com/docs/api/). The library is a wrapper for REST API, so the documentation at the above url applies to the library as well.

## Installation

```
pip install whatsapp-api-client-python
```

## Import 

```
from whatsapp_api_client_python import GreenAPI
```
## Authorization

To send a message or to exacute some other Green-API method, you have to have the WhatsApp account in the phone application to be authorized. To authorize your account please go to the [personal area](https://console.green-api.com) and scan a QR-code using the WhatsApp application.

## Examples

### How to initialize an object

```
greenAPI = GreenAPI(ID_INSTANCE, API_TOKEN_INSTANCE)
```

### Sending a text message to a WhatsApp number

```
result = greenAPI.sending.sendMessage('79001234567@g.us', 'Message text')
```

Example url: [sendTextMessage.py](https://github.com/green-api/whatsapp-api-client-python/blob/master/examples/sendTextMessage.py)

Please note that keys can be obtained from environment variables:
```
from os import environ

ID_INSTANCE = environ['ID_INSTANCE']
API_TOKEN_INSTANCE = environ['API_TOKEN_INSTANCE']
```

### Sending an image via URL

```
result = greenAPI.sending.sendFileByUrl('120363025955348359@g.us', 
        'https://www.google.ru/images/branding/googlelogo/1x/googlelogo_color_272x92dp.png', 
        'googlelogo_color_272x92dp.png', 'Google logo')
```

Example url: [sendPictureByLink.py](https://github.com/green-api/whatsapp-api-client-python/blob/master/examples/sendPictureByLink.py)

### Sending an image by uploading from the disk

```
result = greenAPI.sending.sendFileByUpload('120363025955348359@g.us', 
        'C:\Games\PicFromDisk.png', 
        'PicFromDisk.png', 'Picture from disk')
```

Example url: [sendPictureByUpload.py](https://github.com/green-api/whatsapp-api-client-python/blob/master/examples/sendPictureByUpload.py)

### Group creation and sending a message to the group

```
chatIds = [
    "79001234567@c.us"
]
resultCreate = greenAPI.groups.createGroup('GroupName', 
    chatIds)

if resultCreate.code == 200:
    resultSend = greenAPI.sending.sendMessage(resultCreate.data['chatId'], 
        'Message text')
```

IMPORTANT: If one tries to create a group with a non-existent number, WhatsApp 
may block the sender's number. The number in the example is non-existent.

Example url: [createGroupAndSendMessage.py](https://github.com/green-api/whatsapp-api-client-python/blob/master/examples/createGroupAndSendMessage.py)

### Receive incoming messages by HTTP API

The general concept of receiving data in the Green API is described [here](https://green-api.com/en/docs/api/receiving/)
To start receiving messages by the HTTP API you need to execute the library method:

```
greenAPI.webhooks.startReceivingNotifications(onEvent)
```

onEvent - your method which should contain parameters:
Parameter | Description
----- | -----
typewebhook | received message type (string)
body | message body (json)

Message body types and formats [here](https://green-api.com/en/docs/api/receiving/notifications-format/)

This method will be called when an incoming message is received. Next, process messages according to the business logic of your system.
