Return status if cell number is invalid #42

Open obinakiller opened 3 years ago

obinakiller commented 3 years ago

Is there a way to return a status when the message was not sent? For example, the mobile number does not exist or is invalid or not a valid whatsapp number.

Thanks

I dont think so that this is possible because there is no way you can determine wether a message has been sent or not. It would have been possible if there was an API. But i am not sure about this.

I can create a flask API for that, only problem is that I don't have any spare numbers. Let's see what can be done.

WhatsApp web shows this if the specified number is not found.

So there must be a way to determine that this box popped up or not.

Yes, we can simply call the source of the page page when there is this pop up and we can simply check if the source code contains "Phone number shared by url...". Only way of doing this is to use selenium and whatsapp doesn't allow this either so I need to keep it as a separate project so in case someone report it, I won't have to remove pywhatkit.

Oh I see. Let's see if there is any other way because i can't find anything related to this.

obinakiller commented 3 years ago

I believe that this functionality would be very beneficial, as it would avoid not sending it due to human error, for example.

aaryanrr commented 3 years ago

@obinakiller Yes it would be beneficial. We are looking for a safe way to implement this.

maybe we can take a screenshot at the time for sending message and use opencv for text recognition

ns23k commented 2 years ago

https://nanonets.com/blog/ocr-with-tesseract/ but it would take extra libraries

aaryanrr commented 2 years ago

I don't think so using OCR would be an efficient way to do this.
