# whatsapp-cli

## [Disclaimer] This is not a usable solution. I will not be able to provide any support.

## Limitations

  * You cannot initiate chat with users from whom you have not received a notification in the recent past. This is a pushbullet limitation as it uses reply to notification to send messages. I need to explore on using whatsapp web instead of pushbullet.

## Requirements
  * This CLI uses [Pushbullet APIs](https://docs.pushbullet.com/) to receive and send messages.

  * [Pushbullet App](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pushbullet.android) must be installed on your phone.

  * Pushbullet API token can be generated from [here](https://www.pushbullet.com/#settings/account)

  * You must be getting whatsapp notifications on your device for this to work.

  * To be able to send messages you need to receive at least one message after starting the application for seeding the conf (default location ~/.whatsapp-cli/conf).
