TypeScript Language

WAHA (WhatsApp HTTP API) is a REST API wrapper for WhatsApp that you can configure in a click. Supports three engines: WEBJS (browser-based), NOWEB (WebSocket Node.js), and GOWS (WebSocket Go) for different performance and compatibility trade-offs. Provides HTTP endpoints for sending messages, managing sessions, receiving webhooks, and building WhatsApp bots. Self-hosted with Docker, it offers a privacy-first alternative to cloud-based WhatsApp APIs.
