API too slow?

[eliasjnior]

I'm testing this API to make some apps online, but when I try to send a message, for exemple, my php script run about 7s. I tried in 3 servers and had the same issue.

I was testing the Python API and its less then a second to send a message.

@eliasjnior It works perfectly for me. Test http://watools.es is a project based on WhatsAPI, and it sends messages instantly.

[eliasjnior]

After I send in your page, it loads in about 5s too.

@eliasjnior but the page itself (images, scripts...), but the message is sent at the moment, try a simple script, it will work :)

[eliasjnior]

But what is making this slow? Even after you have sent the message? Is something on your page or on the API? Here I realized the same thing: the message is sent, but then the page takes a while to load.

@eliasjnior did you try to run the script on the terminal?

php script.php

Yes, its because of my page (slow server, images, javascripts...)

[eliasjnior]

I'll try to do it later. Hope it works normal, because I was almost creating my program in Python (I gotta learn First) because PHP was slow. I'll test on a more powerful server from the command line.

Here's what i got: PHP: http://pastebin.com/9b4mkyTz Screenshot: https://www.diigo.com/item/p/peccscezcbpqbqecszbeaaedpe Terminal: https://www.diigo.com/item/p/peccscezcbpqbqqprzbeaaedrc

So, the PHP in the page: 7s. PHP in terminal: 8s (rounded). The script is simple. Is that right?

So, I think that the login is taking this time. I placed this code 44x:

$wa->sendMessage('557399722520','Testing:  '.rand(0,1000));

I got: Start: 1402933198 Finish: 1402933213 Total: 15

So, when I send this 44 messages, it takes about 7s, 0.16s each message. It's about 7s to login and 0,16s each message.

Is there any way to reduce this login time?

@eliasjnior i login in, and it takes me about a second.

Anyway, i dont support people who want to send massive messages:

Have a look to this EULA

[eliasjnior]

No problem. I don't want send multiple messages. I'm just testing the API because I want use it in WordPress. So, will be possible answer comments with WhatsApp, receive messages when someone comment publish... and other things. The bulk message that I tried right now was just to see what was causing the "slowness", and I found that was login.

@eliasjnior if you are using it for wordpress as a plugin then 7 seconds of delay is not a problem (just like a push notification).

Maybe you internet connection isnt fast enought and that why your slowness logging in

[eliasjnior]

This is just the login: http://pastebin.com/dKvYD9pi Start: 1402937031 Finish: 1402937040 Total: 9

My connection? I don't really think that is the problem: http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/3567031089

Can you test and look if this script takes the same time? If not, I will try with some hosting.

Edit: and yes, to my WP Plugin, no problem this 7s. But, if I can solve this, it will be better.

Edit 2: the same script running: http://site9.com.br/w/tests/whatsapp-test.php

Edit 3: So, I found what is taking so long here: function pollMessage. About 2-3s each call. I saw that in the doLogin it's called 2 or 3 times. Is that necessary, as I'm doing just login? Isn't better for me use this function in getMessages?

[mgp25]

@eliasjnior I test the script with

microtime(true);

For being the most accurate with the time. It takes me 3.6283469200134 seconds. Its not a big delay, is not a problem though.

[eliasjnior]

Undestood. So, it's not a problem here. Thanks.
