Getting Started

Pywce is a package for creating WhatsApp chatbots using a template-driven approach. It decouples the engine from the WhatsApp client library, allowing developers to use them independently or together.

Setup

• Install library

  Install latest version from pypi

  $ pip install pywce
  

  or update

  $ pip install -U pywce
  

• Configure settings

  If using fastapi or flask - ensure these libraries are installed

  The default example uses fastapi

  $ pip install fastapi[standard]
  

  Create a whatsapp instance

  import pywce
  
  wa_config = pywce.WhatsAppConfig(
      token="<ACCESS-TOKEN>",
      phone_number_id="<PHONE-NUMBER-ID>",
      hub_verification_token="<WEBHOOK-VERIFICATION-HUB-TOKEN>"
  )
  
  whatsapp = pywce.WhatsApp(whatsapp_config=wa_config)
