Archive Notice 🔒

After three years, I've decided to archive this open-source WhatsApp API project. Your support and contributions have been incredible!

While I'm no longer actively maintaining this project, I've been working on something new and exciting. It's not open-source, but it's a powerful API that provides advanced features for those who need them. If you're interested in exploring this, feel free to reach out for more information.

Thank you once again for being a part of this journey. Keep building amazing things with technology!

Best regards,

Note

I can't guarantee or can be held responsible if you get blocked or banned by using this software. WhatsApp does not allow bots using unofficial methods on their platform, so this shouldn't be considered totally safe.
