yowsup is a python library that implements WhatsApp's protocol. Through this docker image you are able to access yowsup's command line client and run different commands such as sending messages, creating groups, updating profile and many other things.

#Installation

docker pull tgalal/yowsup

#usage

Add --debug to any of the commands to get an insight on the actual protocol and see all incoming and outgoing data in your console.

yowsup will need access to a persistent storage to store generated keys data inside, used at registration and for login with e2e encryption enabled to work. Therefore you'll need to mount a host dir at /root/.yowsup in each docker run command.

##Registration

Step 1 request code

docker run -v SOMEDIR:/root/.yowsup tgalal/yowsup registration --cc COUNTRYCODE --phone NUMBER --requestcode sms

or

docker run -v SOMEDIR:/root/.yowsup tgalal/yowsup registration --cc COUNTRYCODE --phone NUMBER --requestcode voice

note that the phone number must also begin with the specified country code

Step 2 verify code

docker run -v SOMEDIR:/root/.yowsup tgalal/yowsup registration --cc COUNTRYCODE --phone NUMBER --register CODE

Save the returned password as you will need it for login

##Clients

Command line client

docker run -v SOMEDIR:/root/.yowsup -it tgalal/yowsup demos --login PHONE:PASSWORD --yowsup

This will start yowsup shell, type /L to login

Yowsup Cli client
==================
Type /help for available commands

\[offline]: /L

Echo client

This echoes back all received messages

docker run -v SOMEDIR:/root/.yowsup tgalal/yowsup demos --login PHONE:PASSWORD --echo

One shot client

Login, send a message, exit

docker run -v SOMEDIR:/root/.yowsup tgalal/yowsup demos --login PHONE:PASSWORD --send CONTACT_PHONE MESSAGE

E2E encryption

To use e2e encryption in any of the clients, pass --moxie in any of the commands. For example:

docker run -v SOMEDIR:/root/.yowsup -it tgalal/yowsup demos --login PHONE:PASSWORD --yowsup --moxie
