WhatsApp Web API — No Browser, No Hassle

A TypeScript/JavaScript WhatsApp Web API library built on WebSocket — lightweight, fast, and production-ready.
🍁 Powered by Noya Company 𖹭.ᐟ

Building a WhatsApp bot or automation system often means wrestling with Selenium or Puppeteer. The problem? They eat up your RAM and feel incredibly heavy, especially if you're running scripts on a resource-constrained VPS or a Pterodactyl panel container.
What if you could do it all purely through WebSocket? No browser, no hassle.

✦ Requirements

⚠️ CAUTION: Read this before you install anything.
This library requires Node.js v20 or higher. If you're running anything below v20, the process will exit immediately with an error on startup. This is an intentional design choice, not a bug. Check your version right now by typing node --version in your terminal.

Node.js: v20.0.0 minimum (v20 LTS or newer recommended)

NPM: v8+ minimum

Connection: Stable (1 Mbps minimum)

✦ Installation

One command and you're in:

npm install @phrolovaa/baileys

(Note: If you run into install errors, try deleting the node_modules folder and your package-lock.json file, then run the install command again).

✦ Quick Start

A few lines is all it takes to get your WhatsApp bot running.

import makeWASocket from '@phrolovaa/baileys';

const sock = makeWASocket();

// Monitor connection status
sock.ev.on('connection.update', (update) => {
  const { connection, lastDisconnect } = update;

  if (connection === 'open') {
    console.log('✅ Connected to WhatsApp!');
  }

  if (connection === 'close') {
    console.log('❌ Disconnected — attempting to reconnect...');
  }
});

// Auto-reply to incoming messages
sock.ev.on('messages.upsert', async (m) => {
  const msg = m.messages[0];

  // Don't reply to your own messages
  if (!msg.key.fromMe) {
    await sock.sendMessage(msg.key.remoteJid, {
      text: 'Hello! Your message has been received by our system.'
    });
  }
});

💡 Pro Tip: For production bots, always persist your session state to a file or connect it directly to a database (like MongoDB). This ensures you don't have to log in all over again every time the bot restarts.
