AsepXyz Baileys - A WebSockets library for interacting with WhatsApp Web

AsepXyz Baileys is a fast, stable, and modern interactive-feature-focused WhatsApp Web API library built on WebSocket.

Example

Do check out & run example.js to see an example usage of the library. The script covers most common use cases. To run the example script, download or clone the repo and then type the following in a terminal:

cd path/to/AsepXyz Baileys
node example.js

Install

Use the stable version:

npm install AsepXyz

Use the edge version (no guarantee of stability, but latest fixes + features)

npm install github:AsepXyz

Then import your code using:

import makeWASocket from 'AsepXyz'

Connecting Account

WhatsApp provides a multi-device API that allows Baileys to be authenticated as a second WhatsApp client by scanning a QR code or Pairing Code with WhatsApp on your phone.

[!NOTE] Here is a simple example of event handling

[!TIP] You can see all supported socket configs here (Recommended)

Starting socket with QR-CODE

[!TIP] You can customize browser name if you connect with QR-CODE, with Browser constant, we have some browsers config, see here

import makeWASocket from 'AsepXyz'

const conn = makeWASocket({
    // can provide additional config here
    browser: Browsers.ubuntu('My App'),
    printQRInTerminal: true,
})

If the connection is successful, you will see a QR code printed on your terminal screen, scan it with WhatsApp on your phone and you'll be logged in!

Starting socket with Pairing Code

[!IMPORTANT] Pairing Code isn't Mobile API, it's a method to connect Whatsapp Web without QR-CODE, you can connect only with one device, see here

The phone number can't have + or () or -, only numbers, you must provide country code

import makeWASocket from 'AsepXyz'

const conn = makeWASocket({
    // can provide additional config here
    printQRInTerminal: false, //need to be false
})

if (!conn.authState.creds.registered) {
    const number = 'XXXXXXXXXXX'
    const code = await conn.requestPairingCode(number) // or await conn.requestPairingCode(number, 'CODEOTPS') custom your pairing code
    console.log(code)
}

Receive Full History

1. Set syncFullHistory as true
2. Baileys, by default, use chrome browser config
   • If you'd like to emulate a desktop connection (and receive more message history), this browser setting to your Socket config:

const conn = makeWASocket({
    ...otherOpts,
    // can use Windows, Ubuntu here too
    browser: Browsers.macOS('Desktop'),
    syncFullHistory: true,
})

Important Notes About Socket Config

Caching Group Metadata (Recommended)

• If you use baileys for groups, we recommend you to set cachedGroupMetadata in socket config, you need to implement a cache like this:

  const groupCache = new NodeCache({ stdTTL: 5 * 60, useClones: false })
  
  const conn = makeWASocket({
      cachedGroupMetadata: async (jid) => groupCache.get(jid),
  })
  
  conn.ev.on('groups.update', async ([event]) => {
      const metadata = await conn.groupMetadata(event.id)
      groupCache.set(event.id, metadata)
  })
  
  conn.ev.on('group-participants.update', async (event) => {
      const metadata = await conn.groupMetadata(event.id)
      groupCache.set(event.id, metadata)
  })

Improve Retry System & Decrypt Poll Votes

• If you want to improve sending message, retrying when error occurs and decrypt poll votes, you need to have a store and set getMessage config in socket like this:

  const conn = makeWASocket({
      getMessage: async (key) => await getMessageFromStore(key),
  })

Receive Notifications in Whatsapp App

• If you want to receive notifications in whatsapp app, set markOnlineOnConnect to false

  const conn = makeWASocket({
      markOnlineOnConnect: false,
  })

Saving & Restoring Sessions

You obviously don't want to keep scanning the QR code every time you want to connect.

So, you can load the credentials to log back in:

import makeWASocket, { useMultiFileAuthState } from 'AsepXyz'

const { state, saveCreds } = await useMultiFileAuthState('auth_info_baileys')

// will use the given state to connect
// so if valid credentials are available -- it'll connect without QR
const conn = makeWASocket({ auth: state })

// this will be called as soon as the credentials are updated
conn.ev.on('creds.update', saveCreds)

[!IMPORTANT] useMultiFileAuthState is a utility function to help save the auth state in a single folder, this function serves as a good guide to help write auth & key states for SQL/no-SQL databases, which I would recommend in any production grade system.

[!NOTE] When a message is received/sent, due to signal sessions needing updating, the auth keys (authState.keys) will update. Whenever that happens, you must save the updated keys (authState.keys.set() is called). Not doing so will prevent your messages from reaching the recipient & cause other unexpected consequences. The useMultiFileAuthState function automatically takes care of that, but for any other serious implementation -- you will need to be very careful with the key state management.

Handling Events

• Baileys uses the EventEmitter syntax for events. They're all nicely typed up, so you shouldn't have any issues with an Intellisense editor like VS Code.

[!IMPORTANT] The events are these, it's important you see all events

You can listen to these events like this:

const conn = makeWASocket()
conn.ev.on('messages.upsert', ({ messages }) => {
    console.log('got messages', messages)
})

Example to Start

[!NOTE] This example includes basic auth storage too

import makeWASocket, { DisconnectReason, useMultiFileAuthState } from 'AsepXyz'
import { Boom } from '@hapi/boom'

async function connectToWhatsApp () {
    const { state, saveCreds } = await useMultiFileAuthState('./auth_info_baileys')
    const conn = makeWASocket({
        // can provide additional config here
        auth: state,
        printQRInTerminal: true
    })
    conn.ev.on('connection.update', (update) => {
        const { connection, lastDisconnect } = update
        if(connection === 'close') {
            const shouldReconnect = (lastDisconnect.error as Boom)?.output?.statusCode !== DisconnectReason.loggedOut
            console.log('connection closed due to ', lastDisconnect.error, ', reconnecting ', shouldReconnect)
            // reconnect if not logged out
            if(shouldReconnect) {
                connectToWhatsApp()
            }
        } else if(connection === 'open') {
            console.log('opened connection')
        }
    })
    conn.ev.on('messages.upsert', event => {
        for (const m of event.messages) {
            console.log(JSON.stringify(m, undefined, 2))

            console.log('replying to', m.key.remoteJid)
            await conn.sendMessage(m.key.remoteJid!, { text: 'Hello Word' })
        }
    })

    // to storage creds (session info) when it updates
    conn.ev.on('creds.update', saveCreds)
}
// run in main file
connectToWhatsApp()

[!IMPORTANT] In messages.upsert it's recommended to use a loop like for (const message of event.messages) to handle all messages in array

Decrypt Poll Votes

• By default poll votes are encrypted and handled in messages.update

import pino from 'pino'
import { makeInMemoryStore, getAggregateVotesInPollMessage } from 'AsepXyz'

const logger = pino({ timestamp: () => `,"time":"${new Date().toJSON()}"` }).child({
    class: 'AsepXyz',
})
logger.level = 'fatal'
const store = makeInMemoryStore({ logger })

async function getMessage(key) {
    if (store) {
        const msg = await store.loadMessage(key.remoteJid, key.id)
        return msg?.message
    }
    return {
        conversation: 'AsepXyz',
    }
}

conn.ev.on('messages.update', async (chatUpdate) => {
    for (const { key, update } of chatUpdate) {
        if (update.pollUpdates && key.fromMe) {
            const pollCreation = await getMessage(key)
            if (pollCreation) {
                const pollUpdate = await getAggregateVotesInPollMessage({
                    message: pollCreation,
                    pollUpdates: update.pollUpdates,
                })
                const toCmd = pollUpdate.filter((v) => v.voters.length !== 0)[0]?.name
                if (toCmd == undefined) return
                console.log(toCmd)
            }
        }
    }
})

Decrypt Event Response

• By default event response are encrypted and handled in messages.update

import { jidNormalizedUser, getAggregateResponsesInEventMessage } from 'AsepXyz'

conn.ev.on('messages.update', async ([chatUpdate]) => {
    const eventResponses = chatUpdate.update?.eventResponses
    const agregate = getAggregateResponsesInEventMessage(
        { eventResponses },
        jidNormalizedUser(conn.user.lid)
    )
    console.log(agregate)
})

Summary of Events on First Connection

1. When you connect first time, connection.update will be fired requesting you to restart sock
2. Then, history messages will be received in messaging.history-set

Implementing a Data Store

• Baileys does not come with a defacto storage for chats, contacts, or messages. However, a simple in-memory implementation has been provided. The store listens for chat updates, new messages, message updates, etc., to always have an up-to-date version of the data.

[!IMPORTANT] I highly recommend building your own data store, as storing someone's entire chat history in memory is a terrible waste of RAM.

It can be used as follows:

import makeWASocket, { makeInMemoryStore } from 'AsepXyz'
// the store maintains the data of the WA connection in memory
// can be written out to a file & read from it
const store = makeInMemoryStore({})
// can be read from a file
store.readFromFile('./baileys_store.json')
// saves the state to a file every 10s
setInterval(() => {
    store.writeToFile('./baileys_store.json')
}, 10_000)

const conn = makeWASocket({})
// will listen from this socket
// the store can listen from a new socket once the current socket outlives its lifetime
store.bind(conn.ev)

conn.ev.on('chats.upsert', () => {
    // can use 'store.chats' however you want, even after the socket dies out
    // 'chats' => a KeyedDB instance
    console.log('got chats', store.chats.all())
})

conn.ev.on('contacts.upsert', () => {
    console.log('got contacts', Object.values(store.contacts))
})

The store also provides some simple functions such as loadMessages that utilize the store to speed up data retrieval.

Whatsapp IDs Explain

• id is the WhatsApp ID, called jid too, of the person or group you're sending the message to.
  • It must be in the format [country code][phone number]@s.whatsapp.net
    • Example for people: [email protected].
    • For groups, it must be in the format [email protected].
  • For broadcast lists, it's [timestamp of creation]@broadcast.
  • For stories, the ID is status@broadcast.

Utility Functions

• getContentType, returns the content type for any message
• getDevice, returns the device from message
• makeCacheableSignalKeyStore, make auth store more fast
• downloadContentFromMessage, download content from any message

Sending Messages

• Send all types of messages with a single function

  • Here you can see all message contents supported, like text message
  • Here you can see all options supported, like quote message

  const jid: string
  const content: AnyMessageContent
  const options: MiscMessageGenerationOptions
  
  conn.sendMessage(jid, content, options)

    text: '@12345678901',
    mentions: ['[email protected]'],
})

Order Status Message

Mengirim kartu status pesanan dengan tampilan native WhatsApp.

Example

conn.sendMessage(m.chat, {
  orderStatus: {
    image: 'src/img/menu.jpg',
    title: 'AsepXyz Shop',
    text: 'Silakan cek status pesanan Anda.',
    footer: 'Powered by AsepXyz',
    referenceId: 'LV-001',
    status: 'PROCESSING',
    subtotalValue: 10000,
    subtotalOffset: 100,
    taxValue: 0,
    taxOffset: 100,
    currency: 'IDR'
  }
}, { quoted: m })

AI Icon Feature

await conn.sendMessage(
    jid,
    {
        text: 'Hi',
    },
    {
        ai: true, // Add ai usage and change it to true
    }
)

// If using relay
await conn.relayMessage(
    jid,
    {
        extendedTextMessage: {
            text: 'Hi',
        },
    },
    {
        AI: true, // Use capital letters
    }
)

Sending Messages with Link Previews

1. By default, wa does not have link generation when sent from the web
2. Baileys has a function to generate the content for these link previews
3. To enable this function's usage, add unfurl.js as a dependency to your project with yarn add unfurl.js
4. Send a link:

await conn.sendMessage(jid, {
    text: 'Hi, this was sent using https://github.com/whiskeysockets/baileys',
})

Media Messages

Sending media (video, stickers, images) is easier & more efficient than ever.

[!NOTE] In media messages, you can pass { stream: Stream } or { url: Url } or Buffer directly, you can see more here

• When specifying a media url, Baileys never loads the entire buffer into memory it even encrypts the media as a readable stream.

[!TIP] It's recommended to use Stream or Url to save memory

Gif Message

• Whatsapp doesn't support .gif files, that's why we send gifs as common .mp4 video with gifPlayback flag

await conn.sendMessage(jid, {
    video: fs.readFileSync('Media/ma_gif.mp4'),
    caption: 'hello word',
    gifPlayback: true,
})

Video Message

await conn.sendMessage(id, {
    video: {
        url: './Media/ma_gif.mp4',
    },
    caption: 'hello word',
})

Video Ptv Message

await conn.sendMessage(id, {
    video: {
        url: './Media/ma_gif.mp4',
    },
    ptv: true,
})

Audio Message

• To audio message work in all devices you need to convert with some tool like ffmpeg with this flags:

      codec: libopus //ogg file
      ac: 1 //one channel
      avoid_negative_ts
      make_zero

  • Example:

  ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -avoid_negative_ts make_zero -ac 1 output.ogg

await conn.sendMessage(jid, {
    audio: {
        url: './Media/audio.mp3',
    },
    mimetype: 'audio/mp4',
})

Image Message

await conn.sendMessage(id, {
    image: {
        url: './Media/ma_img.png',
    },
    caption: 'hello word',
})

Album Message

await conn.sendMessage(
    id,
    {
        album: [{
        	image: {
        		url: 'https://example.com/AsepXyz.jpg'
        	},
        	caption: 'Hay'
        }, {
        	image: Buffer,
        	caption: 'Hay'
        }, {
        	video: {
        		url: 'https://example.com/AsepXyz.mp4'
        	},
        	caption: 'Hay'
        }, {
        	video: Buffer,
        	caption: 'Hay'
        }
    }
)

View Once Message

• You can send all messages above as viewOnce, you only need to pass viewOnce: true in content object

await conn.sendMessage(id, {
    image: {
        url: './Media/ma_img.png',
    },
    viewOnce: true, //works with video, audio too
    caption: 'hello word',
})

Modify Messages

Deleting Messages (for everyone)

const msg = await conn.sendMessage(jid, { text: 'hello word' })
await conn.sendMessage(jid, { delete: msg.key })

Note: deleting for oneself is supported via chatModify, see in this section

Editing Messages

• You can pass all editable contents here

await conn.sendMessage(jid, {
    text: 'updated text goes here',
    edit: response.key,
})

Manipulating Media Messages

Thumbnail in Media Messages

• For media messages, the thumbnail can be generated automatically for images & stickers provided you add jimp or sharp as a dependency in your project using yarn add jimp or yarn add sharp.
• Thumbnails for videos can also be generated automatically, though, you need to have ffmpeg installed on your system.

Downloading Media Messages

If you want to save the media you received

import { createWriteStream } from 'fs'
import { downloadMediaMessage, getContentType } from 'AsepXyz'

conn.ev.on('messages.upsert', async ({ [m] }) => {
    if (!m.message) return // if there is no text or media message
    const messageType = getContentType(m) // get what type of message it is (text, image, video...)

    // if the message is an image
    if (messageType === 'imageMessage') {
        // download the message
        const stream = await downloadMediaMessage(
            m,
            'stream', // can be 'buffer' too
            { },
            {
                logger,
                // pass this so that baileys can request a reupload of media
                // that has been deleted
                reuploadRequest: conn.updateMediaMessage
            }
        )
        // save to file
        const writeStream = createWriteStream('./my-download.jpeg')
        stream.pipe(writeStream)
    }
}

Re-upload Media Message to Whatsapp

• WhatsApp automatically removes old media from their servers. For the device to access said media -- a re-upload is required by another device that has it. This can be accomplished using:

await conn.updateMediaMessage(msg)

Reject Call

• You can obtain callId and callFrom from call event

await conn.rejectCall(callId, callFrom)

Send States in Chat

Reading Messages

• A set of message keys must be explicitly marked read now.
• You cannot mark an entire 'chat' read as it were with Baileys Web. This means you have to keep track of unread messages.

const key: WAMessageKey
// can pass multiple keys to read multiple messages as well
await conn.readMessages([key])

The message ID is the unique identifier of the message that you are marking as read. On a WAMessage, the messageID can be accessed using messageID = message.key.id.

Update Presence

• presence can be one of these
• The presence expires after about 10 seconds.
• This lets the person/group with jid know whether you're online, offline, typing etc.

await conn.sendPresenceUpdate('available', jid)

[!NOTE] If a desktop client is active, WA doesn't send push notifications to the device. If you would like to receive said notifications -- mark your Baileys client offline using conn.sendPresenceUpdate('unavailable')

Modifying Chats

WA uses an encrypted form of communication to send chat/app updates. This has been implemented mostly and you can send the following updates:

[!IMPORTANT] If you mess up one of your updates, WA can log you out of all your devices and you'll have to log in again.

Broadcast Lists & Stories

Send Broadcast & Stories

• Messages can be sent to broadcasts & stories. You need to add the following message options in sendMessage, like this:

await conn.sendMessage(
    jid,
    {
        image: {
            url: url,
        },
        caption: caption,
    },
    {
        backgroundColor: backgroundColor,
        font: font,
        statusJidList: statusJidList,
        broadcast: true,
    }
)

• Message body can be a extendedTextMessage or imageMessage or videoMessage or voiceMessage, see here

• You can add backgroundColor and other options in the message options, see here

• broadcast: true enables broadcast mode

• statusJidList: a list of people that you can get which you need to provide, which are the people who will get this status message.

• You can send messages to broadcast lists the same way you send messages to groups & individual chats.

• Right now, WA Web does not support creating broadcast lists, but you can still delete them.

• Broadcast IDs are in the format 12345678@broadcast

Query a Broadcast List's Recipients & Name

const bList = await conn.getBroadcastListInfo('1234@broadcast')
console.log(`list name: ${bList.name}, recps: ${bList.recipients}`)

Writing Custom Functionality

Baileys is written with custom functionality in mind. Instead of forking the project & re-writing the internals, you can simply write your own extensions.

Enabling Debug Level in Baileys Logs

First, enable the logging of unhandled messages from WhatsApp by setting:

const conn = makeWASocket({
    logger: P({ level: 'debug' }),
})

This will enable you to see all sorts of messages WhatsApp sends in the console.

How Whatsapp Communicate With Us

[!TIP] If you want to learn whatsapp protocol, we recommend to study about Libsignal Protocol and Noise Protocol

• Example: Functionality to track the battery percentage of your phone. You enable logging and you'll see a message about your battery pop up in the console:

  {
      "level": 10,
      "fromMe": false,
      "frame": {
          "tag": "ib",
          "attrs": {
              "from": "@s.whatsapp.net"
          },
          "content": [
              {
                  "tag": "edge_routing",
                  "attrs": {},
                  "content": [
                      {
                          "tag": "routing_info",
                          "attrs": {},
                          "content": {
                              "type": "Buffer",
                              "data": [8,2,8,5]
                          }
                      }
                  ]
              }
          ]
      },
      "msg":"communication"
  }

The 'frame' is what the message received is, it has three components:

• tag -- what this frame is about (eg. message will have 'message')
• attrs -- a string key-value pair with some metadata (contains ID of the message usually)
• content -- the actual data (eg. a message node will have the actual message content in it)
• read more about this format here

Register a Callback for Websocket Events

[!TIP] Recommended to see onMessageReceived function in socket.js file to understand how websockets events are fired

// for any message with tag 'edge_routing'
conn.ws.on('CB:edge_routing', (node: BinaryNode) => { })

// for any message with tag 'edge_routing' and id attribute = abcd
conn.ws.on('CB:edge_routing,id:abcd', (node: BinaryNode) => { })

// for any message with tag 'edge_routing', id attribute = abcd & first content node routing_info
conn.ws.on('CB:edge_routing,id:abcd,routing_info', (node: BinaryNode) => { })
