Debate: should a client using this API be hosted in a different Github repo? about whatsapi

[aesedepece]

This is me chatting with myself xD

[hubail]

Sleek! I was about to ask you about the backend part of the app? since we're thinking about rewriting the source into more "usable" piece of code.

And I'll leave the decision about the repo for you guys to vote.

[aesedepece]

@hubail This file server.php makes all the magic → https://github.com/aesedepece/WhatsAPI/blob/master/php/server.php

It receives POST calls with two variables: $_POST['id'] and $_POST['action'].

The first one, id, contains user data in an associative array like in this example:

$id = array(
    "cc" => "34",
    "pn" => "663xxxxxx",
    "imei" => "35471xxxxxxxxxx"
);

Second one, action, contains "what to do" in the same fashion. Example:

$action = array(
    "method" => "Message",
    "params" => array("123456789-1", "677xxxxxx", "Hello world!")
);

Of course I run a modified version of whatsapp.class.php which "echoes" json_encode() of the results instead of print_r them → https://github.com/aesedepece/WhatsAPI/blob/master/php/whatsapp.class.php

@aesedepece I got "inactive".... ?

Array
(
[status] => inactive
[kind] => paid
[creation] =>
[expiration] =>
)

[aesedepece]

@michliu That's weird! Did you completely git clone my fork? :O
Please look for errors in your PHP log and tell me if any.
I'm concerned about you not being able to send messages yet. I won't stop until you are able to do so! :)

I guess you use WhatsApp in a iPhone. Don't you?

[michliu]

@aesedepece Yes, I completely your fork , and I use WhatsApp in iPhone.

[michliu]

@aesedepece But I have change my sim card to other android mobile.
[status] => inactive
[kind] => paid
[creation] =>
[expiration] =>

ERROR: INEXISTENT METHOD

[aesedepece]

@michliu Could you post your code? (Whatever you have written to call the API in js or php)
If your code is OK then the problem is related to your WhatsApp account.
Note that "method" is "Message" and not "Message()" as I posted at first.

[michliu]

@aesedepece I add $id and $action to server.php

$id = array(
"cc" => "886",
"pn" => "9x6xxxxx8",
"imei" => "x5xxxx20xxxx09xx"
);
$action = array(
"method" => "Message",
"params" => array("123456789-1", "88691x3xxx0x", "Hello world!")
);
//$api = new API($_POST['id'], $_POST['action']);
$api = new API($id, $action);

[aesedepece]

That's all OK, but maybe the problem is more obvious than we thought:
I've read WhatsApp for iPhone uses iPhone's udid as udid instead of md5(strrev($imei)). Find your udid (something like 2b6f0cc904d137be2e1730235f5664094b831186), use it as imei in $action and replace $this->_id['udid'] = md5(strrev($this->_id['imei'])); with $this->_id['udid'] = $this->_id['imei']; in server.php.

[michliu]

@aesedepece Login fail ! If i use iPhone udid.

[darkhat]

@aesedepece can you share your client code?

[aesedepece]

Ok, just pushed it so there's no way back: different project, different repository.

Here you have: https://github.com/aesedepece/Guasa

Enjoy! You should be able to login, view your account settings, import contacts from .vcf, get last seen date for each of them and send messages to any one.

Receiving messages is on the go ;)

Please report any issues you'd find. Thanks!

[michliu]

@aesedepece I have reset whatsapp password , then try again ...

[root@hv php]# php server.php
Array
(
[status] => active
[kind] => free
[creation] => 1288493592
[expiration] => 1635562392
)
But still can't send any message.. :(

[ismail]

aesedepece How are we supposed to set "WhatsAPI URL" ?

[michliu]

@cartman need server.php ->https://github.com/aesedepece/WhatsAPI

[ismail]

Ok when trying to login I get:

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token < guasa.class.js:48
Guasa.login guasa.class.js:48
login login.js:7
onclick index.htm:255

Debugging a bit more, I see:

"

{"status":"active","kind":"paid","creation":"1324842484","expiration":"1387914484"}"
