waha [BUG][NOWEB] - Error 500 when sending status to many contacts

Version

{
  "version": "2024.6.6",
  "engine": "NOWEB",
  "tier": "PLUS",
  "browser": "/usr/bin/chromium"
}

Expected behavior

When using endpoints to send status "/api/{session}/status/{type}", and sending to all contacts of the number, the response returned looks like this:

Hi! The fix on the way, it'll handle 80K contacts in seconds

Jun 24 '24 10:06 devlikepro

Hi! Try 2024.6.7, we've added some optimizations here

sending to all contacts of the number

How many contacts are we talking about here btw?

Please make sure it's real contacts, because even /contacts response adds many groups with @g.us and anonymous users .@lid

Jun 25 '24 06:06 devlikepro

Thank you very much, I will try it

This is about 60K contacts

Please make sure it's real contacts, because even /contacts response adds many groups with @g.us and anonymous users .@lid

At first I did think that this was what was causing him problems, and I also filtered the numbers that are not connected in WhatsApp

Hi I tried sending, and it still returns an error

Jun 26 '24 15:06 oteGroupMoishy

Well, now it's the different error :D Could you share the payload with me in discord direct messages? devlikeapro. Looks like some issues there

Jun 27 '24 07:06 devlikepro

Hi! JFYI - starting 2024.11.1 version you can send status (aka stories) via WEBJS engine as well, it doesn't have the 3K contacts issues :crossed_fingers: https://waha.devlike.pro/docs/how-to/status/#features

It doesn't require contacts, it'll send status to all contacts for now

POST /api/{session}/status/image

{
  "file": {
    "mimetype": "image/jpeg",
    "url": "https://github.com/devlikeapro/waha/raw/core/examples/dev.likeapro.jpg"
  },
  "caption": "string"
}

We're working on proper solution for NOWEB as well, no ETA yet tho :(

Hi! Could you try 2024.11.4 version and give feedback :pray: :crossed_fingers:

Tested with ~99K contacts, all send. :information_source:

The first request will take few minutes to establish communications (sessions) with all participants
The second request will be faster

Because the 1st request requires a lot of time and because we're restarting NOWEB socket every 30 minutes or so - it's possible to send the request between those restarts :( So you can call /api/sessions/{NAME}/restart right before you'll send the first story to contacts and wait for 10 seconds until it's WORKING and then send it. Not ideal, we'll work on the better mechanism to detect "in use socket" in future version :+1:

NOWEB doesn't require contacts list anymore, you can send it as

POST /api/{session}/status/text

{
  "text": "Have a look! https://waha.devlike.pro/",
  "backgroundColor": "#38b42f",
  "font": 1
}

it'll fetch all contacts available in NOWEB Store - basicly all your phone contacts
