Trying to make a whatsapp bot

I am trying to make a WhatsApp bot inspired by the functioning of Discord bots, the bot will work in WhatsApp groups.

I have looked up the official WhatsApp Business API but I am not sure that they will not approve my number as it is just a hobby project and not a proper "business".

There is an alternative though and that is the Twilio WhatsApp API. However, they provide you with a sandbox. I can interact with it in DMs but as the sandbox number is a business account, I cannot add it to a group like discord.

I intend to write a server in python or node.

Can anyone share a solution or workaround? Only if I could add the Twilio number to a group my problem will be solved. Though I am ready to use any other API/Solutions for this.

You can use this replit template by forking it.

WhatsApp bot is built using the unofficial api from whatsapp-web.js which can save sessions on mongodb and is active for 24 hours

There is actually a Python solution for this. It is a pain to set it up, but it still works. Check it out:

https://github.com/mukulhase/WebWhatsapp-Wrapper

It uses the webdriver Selenium to send/retrieve messages through Web-WhatsApp.

Be aware that it is against their rules, so your phone number might get banned!
