Yowsup
Yowsup is a protocol library and client framework for implementing WhatsApp clients. It provides an interface for sending and receiving multimedia messages, managing group chats, and handling account registration.
The project features a modular system for building communication stacks that process encrypted data and network connections. It includes a protocol library to manage messaging, presence states, and account registration, alongside an interactive command line interface for interacting with users and managing contacts.
The framework covers a range of communication capabilities, including end-to-end encryption for text and media files, group chat management, and contact data synchronization. It also implements network reliability utilities for proxy connections, heartbeat intervals, and automated session recovery.
Features

- Text Message Transmission - Provides the capability to transmit text-based messages to specific contacts or groups using protocol entities.
- Encrypted Messaging Platforms - Implements secure text and multimedia communication leveraging end-to-end encryption protocols.
- End-to-End Encryption - Secures conversations using end-to-end encryption protocols to prevent unauthorized interception of messages.
- Media Encryption - Provides cryptographic protection for binary media assets during transmission and storage.
- Chat State Indications - Exchanges real-time chat state indications, such as typing or paused status, with the server.
- Group Settings Management - Allows for the programmatic configuration of group attributes and member permission levels.
- Object-to-XML Mapping - Translates raw XML data from the protocol into structured language objects to avoid manual node traversal.
- Contact Synchronizations - Synchronizes contact lists and processes notifications when contact information changes.
- Incoming Message Processors - Implements handlers that listen for incoming messages and trigger specific callbacks based on the message type.
- Message Receipt Transmission - Implements the transmission of delivery and read status indicators for messages within the protocol.
- Proxy-Managed Connection Sessions - Manages network connectivity through proxies with automated ping intervals and session recovery logic.
- Stream Reconnection Management - Manages proxy connections and implements automated reconnection logic and ping intervals to maintain stream stability.
- Protocol Event Handlers - Triggers specific callback functions automatically when protocol entities like messages or presence updates are received.
- User Profile Management - Provides functionality to retrieve profile pictures, update privacy settings, and fetch contact status.
- User Account Registrations - Handles the account setup process by requesting registration codes via SMS or voice.
- Event-Driven Callbacks - Implements an architectural pattern that executes specific handler functions in response to asynchronous protocol events.
- Account Automation Frameworks - Provides a programmable interface for automating account registration, profile updates, and contact synchronization.
- Collaborative Presence States - Maintains and broadcasts real-time user activity indicators like online status through the protocol.
- WhatsApp - Mobile and desktop messaging app - Listed in the “WhatsApp - Mobile and desktop messaging app” section of the List Of Python Api Wrappers awesome list.
