Hi, Using contact sync can i add numbers to my contact list or only verify that a number is whatsapp or not? Also, Is it possible to send same message to many whatsapp numbers which are not in my contact list. I have not tried this because i am afraid my number gets blocked. Has anyone tried this before?

ContactSync is a method WhatsApp has to verify which of the contacts you have in your contact list are WhatsApp users, if they are, they will be added to your contact list in WhatsApp.

Okay. You want the secret? Here you have: super secret

We dont supprt spamming. I like helping people, but not for this. Spam goes against WhatsApp EULA, and also its a privacy attack.

@mgp25

well i dont think adding numbers to contact is spamming or any type of privacy attack. I am only trying to understand how to add numbers to my contacts using WhatsApi.

And the second question i asked, i wanted to ask, if somehow i cannot add any number to my contacts using whatsapi, then, is there any provision to send messages to contacts which exist on my phone.

But As you said,If i understand, ContactSync is method where WhatsApp verifies which of the numbers are whatsapi or not, and if they are, they will be added to my contact list automatically. I got my answer that i can add numbers to my contact using whatsapi.

I too dont support spamming, i just want to simulate whatsapp on my browser rather than using on my phone. Sending same message to numbers which exist in my contact list is not spamming, is it?

@shirioko I don't think i support any type of spamming in my question. I don't know what you understood?

Thanks, @mgp25

@mgp25 Sending Bulk messages doesnt necessary mean Spamming. If the user provide necessary permission its not spamming.

In fact, there is a bulk.php file right?

For me its spaming. Yes

Everything your api can not do, you declare it spam, it is that simple I guess! Dont go advertising that you have a whatsapp api then, you should be telling people that you have a whatsapi that is no good for nothing. That might make you popular.

You seem to be confused. An API only provides access to a service, which WhatsAPI does perfectly fine. Whatever the server/service does with your service access behavior is beyond the scope of this project and cannot be regulated/fixed by changing WhatsAPI code, only by either changing your sending behavior or changing server code.
