Can we run an example / test without token? I want to develop and test my code, before requesting the token to test with a real wechat account.

Yes, you can run the example without token by using the Web Protocol, which you can run it locally.

Using Web Protocol

In order to specify a Wechaty Puppet Provider, you need to set the WECHATY_PUPPET environment variable.

Set WECHATY_PUPPET to wechaty-puppet-puppeteer or wechaty-puppet-wechat4u will let Wechaty using Web Protocol. Please confirm that your WeChat account can log in on Web WeChat before using them.

export WECHATY_PUPPET=wechaty-puppet-puppeteer

No, my wechat account cannot log in on Web wechat. That is why I want to use the ipad protocol (which requires a token). But I want to test my code a bit before I apply for a token as it expires in 15 days. I want to test my code first and do some testing with the wechat account using the token.

If your WeChat account can not use Web Protocol, then you will have to use one of the Puppet Services.

You can apply a short-term TOKEN for free, learn more from https://wechaty.js.org/docs/puppet-services/
