I am trying to make a WhatsApp bot inspired by the functioning of Discord bots, the bot will work in WhatsApp groups.

I have looked up the official WhatsApp Business API but I am not sure that they will not approve my number as it is just a hobby project and not a proper "business".

There is an alternative though and that is the Twilio WhatsApp API. However, they provide you with a sandbox. I can interact with it in DMs but as the sandbox number is a business account, I cannot add it to a group like discord.

I intend to write a server in python or node.

Can anyone share a solution or workaround? Only if I could add the Twilio number to a group my problem will be solved. Though I am ready to use any other API/Solutions for this.

We just deploy on AWS Cloudformation an enterprise WhatsApp API following the next instructions:

AWS WhatsApp API

So all works normally, and the deploy finished correctly, the problem comes with the option "SSL Configuration", we understand that the API creates a self signed certificate so we get the error on the browsers because of that.

The documentation says that we need to upload a certificate authority, but do we need to get one from a third party to avoid this error?

We are a little bit lost, any advice will be nice.

Currently i am working on whatsapp business api setup using docker . I have followed the instructions specified in installation document.

Installation done successfully and all containers are running fine. When i am performing the health check getting the below response

{     "health": {         "192.168.99.124:337e5a74fec8": {             "gateway_status": "unregistered",             "role": "primary_master"         },         "192.168.99.125:f6d56ce7a303": {             "errors": [                 {                     "code": 1011,                     "title": "Service not ready",                     "details": "Wacore is not instantiated. Please check wacore log for details."                 }             ]         },         "192.168.99.125:f18358cd1dff": {             "errors": [                 {                     "code": 1011,                     "title": "Service not ready",                     "details": "Wacore is not instantiated. Please check wacore log for details."                 }             ]         }     },     "meta": {         "version": "v2.25.5",         "api_status": "stable"     } } 

Two of the core containers (master and wacore) not getting instantiated. i verified my containers, all are running .

Does any one faced this issue ? or this one is the normal because response always giving 200 status code .

Is there a way to manipulate WhatsApp Web so I can send messages through a program, using JavaScript by example, or any other method. My plan is to use a database of phone numbers saved in my phone, so I can filter out contacts and send massive messages via WhatsApp Web.

I'm looking for AWS integration with whatsapp. when any user start the aws services , that should be notify on whatsapp is there any youtube link, or reference available on the internet? thanks in advance
