from pywa import WhatsApp

wa = WhatsApp(
    phone_id="100458559237541",
    token="EAAEZC6hUxkTIB"
)

wa.send_message(
    to="9876543210",
    text="Hello from PyWa!"
)

• To listen to updates, create a WhatsApp client, pass a web server app (Flask in this example) and register callbacks:

See Handlers for more information.

from pywa import WhatsApp, filters
from pywa.types import Message, CallbackButton, Button
from flask import Flask

flask_app = Flask(__name__)
wa = WhatsApp(
    phone_id="1234567890",
    token="xxxxxxx",
    server=flask_app,
    callback_url="https://xyz.ngrok-free.app",
    verify_token="xyz123",
    app_id=123456,
    app_secret="yyyyyy"
)

@wa.on_message(filters.matches("Hello", "Hi"))
def hello(client: WhatsApp, msg: Message):
    msg.react("👋")
    msg.reply_text(
        text=f"Hello {msg.from_user.name}!",
        buttons=[
            Button(
                title="Click me!",
                callback_data="id:123"
            )
        ]
    )

@wa.on_callback_button(filters.startswith("id"))
def click_me(client: WhatsApp, clb: CallbackButton):
    clb.reply_text("You clicked me!")

flask_app.run()  # Run the flask app to start the server
