Simple WhatsApp Bot in Python for Beginners

This repository contains a basic WhatsApp bot written in Python, ideal for developers who are just starting out. The bot responds to various commands with text messages and images. With straightforward setup steps and detailed comments in the code, this bot is designed to help beginners understand API integration with WhatsApp.

Getting Started

Follow these steps to set up and run the bot:

Prerequisites

Get Your API Token
- Obtain an API token from Whapi.Cloud and place it in .env.
Set Up Webhook URL
- Get a webhook URL to receive incoming messages. If you need help with setting up the webhook, refer to our knowledge base article Where to Find the Webhook URL.
- We recommend using a local environment for testing, such as NGROK, to expose a local server to the internet.
Download Ngrok from the official website and extract it.
Open the terminal and navigate to the folder where Ngrok is stored.
Run ./ngrok http PORT_NUMBER, replacing PORT_NUMBER with the port your Express server is running on locally. Now you should have a public URL that you can use as a URL for your webhook.
- Set your webhook URL in the channel settings on the Whapi.Cloud dashboard.
Setting Up Your Bot Follow these steps to get the bot running:

Navigate to the directory containing the bot’s files: cd /path/to/bot
Install the required dependencies: pip install -r requirements.txt
Run the bot: python index.py

If everything is done correctly, your bot is ready to go. Just write the test command “help” to the number connected to the API from another number.
For more detailed instructions on setup and configuration, you can watch our tutorial video on YouTube.
