transWhat
transWhat is a WhatsApp XMPP Gateway based on Spectrum 2 and Yowsup 2.
Getting started
I assume that you have a basic understanding of XMPP and the transport concept. transWhat is a XMPP transport. It is based on the Spectrum 2 XMPP transport framework and the Yowsup 2 library to interface with WhatsApp.
Before getting started, please make sure that you have a XMPP server running. I am using Prosody for this.
After this we have to install several dependencies:
Dependencies
Python packages
pip install --pre e4u protobuf mysql dateutil
- e4u: is a simple emoji4unicode python bindings
- yowsup: is a python library that enables you build application which use WhatsApp service.
- mysqldb: MySQL client python bindings
