I'm just curious as everything I've researched online so far doesn't seem up to date. This weekend I set myself a little project just to automate a message but not spamming or used for commercial use.

I tried to find the password needed for the whatsapp api

  WhatsApp wa = new WhatsApp(myNumber, password, nickname, true);

WhatsAppAPI constructor below. 

 public class WhatsApp : WhatsSendBase
{
    public WhatsApp(string phoneNum, string imei, string nick, bool debug = false, bool hidden = false);

The problem and questions I face start with a program called WART which is downloadable from the below github repository.

https://github.com/mgp25/WART

After downloading this and trying to get the password I was unsuccessful. I then used the webclient version.

the github repository stated

In case WART isn't working, use this online tool: http://watools.es/pwd.html

To my surprise WhatsApp have blocked my number. From responses online I didn't think anyone else has had this problem.

I was aware that I could be blocked for spamming but I didn't send one message through he API and so I'm slightly confused.

Is there away round this? Is this not a suitable project? Have I done something wrong? Has anyone used this API before?

Edited Recently after more research to add the below...

Just found this repository that was taken down WhatsAPI Repository

From the looks of it WhatsApp was targetting spammers . Why Was WhatsAPI ShutDown

WhatsApp have informed me that they have detected that the verification code was not sent from a mobile device and have blocked the account. So I can only assume that WART isn't a suitable registration application for getting your whats app password any more and I'll have to see this as a failed project.

Anyone else's experiences or knowledge would still be appreciated, thanks.

  • WART is giving a Bad_Token error while requesting code. Don't know if it is because the number is blocked or any other reason – user3526204 Nov 17 '16 at 12:34
