**Baileys** is a WebSockets-based TypeScript library for interacting with the WhatsApp Web API.
This is **not the official Baileys library**, but a **modified and extended version** developed independently to add functionalities that many developers have requested. These enhancements aim to improve flexibility, offer better developer experience, and provide tools that are missing from the original version.

## Connecting Account
WhatsApp provides a multi-device API that allows Baileys to be authenticated as a second WhatsApp client by scanning a **QR code** or **Pairing Code** with WhatsApp on your phone.
### Starting socket with **QR-CODE**
> [!TIP]
> You can customize browser name if you connect with **QR-CODE**, with `Browser` constant, we have some browsers config, **see [here](https://baileys.whiskeysockets.io/types/BrowsersMap.html)**
```javascript
const { default: makeWASocket } = require("baileys-pro")
const sock = makeWASocket({
// can provide additional config here
browser: Browsers.ubuntu('My App'),
printQRInTerminal: true
})
```
If the connection is successful, you will see a QR code printed on your terminal screen, scan it with WhatsApp on your phone and you'll be logged in!
### Starting socket with **Pairing Code**
> [!IMPORTANT]
> Pairing Code isn't Mobile API, it's a method to connect Whatsapp Web without QR-CODE, you can connect only with one device, see [here](https://faq.whatsapp.com/1324084875126592/?cms_platform=web)
The phone number can't have `+` or `()` or `-`, only numbers, you must provide country code
```javascript
const { default: makeWASocket } = require("baileys-pro")
const sock = makeWASocket({
// can provide additional config here
printQRInTerminal: false //need to be false
})
- Normal Pairing
if (!sock.authState.creds.registered) {
const number = 'XXXXXXXXXXX'
const code = await sock.requestPairingCode(number)
console.log(code)
}
- Costum Pairing
if (!sock.authState.creds.registered) {
const pair = "AB123C4D" // only 8 alphanumeric (no more or less)
const number = 'XXXXXXXXXXX'
const code = await sock.requestPairingCode(number, pair)
console.log(code)
}
```
### Receive Full History
1. Set `syncFullHistory` as `true`
2. Baileys, by default, use chrome browser config
- If you'd like to emulate a desktop connection (and receive more message history), this browser setting to your Socket config:
```javascript
const sock = makeWASocket({
...otherOpts,
// can use Windows, Ubuntu here too
browser: Browsers.macOS('Desktop'),
syncFullHistory: true
})
```
## Important Notes About Socket Config
### Caching Group Metadata (Recommended)
- If you use baileys for groups, we recommend you to set `cachedGroupMetadata` in socket config, you need to implement a cache like this:
```javascript
const groupCache = new NodeCache({stdTTL: 5 * 60, useClones: false})
const sock = makeWASocket({
cachedGroupMetadata: async (jid) => groupCache.get(jid)
})
sock.ev.on('groups.update', async ([event]) => {
const metadata = await sock.groupMetadata(event.id)
groupCache.set(event.id, metadata)
})
sock.ev.on('group-participants.update', async (event) => {
const metadata = await sock.groupMetadata(event.id)
groupCache.set(event.id, metadata)
})
```
### Improve Retry System & Decrypt Poll Votes
- If you want to improve sending message, retrying when error occurs and decrypt poll votes, you need to have a store and set `getMessage` config in socket like this:
```javascript
const sock = makeWASocket({
getMessage: async (key) => await getMessageFromStore(key)
})
```
### Receive Notifications in Whatsapp App
- If you want to receive notifications in whatsapp app, set `markOnlineOnConnect` to `false`
```javascript
const sock = makeWASocket({
markOnlineOnConnect: false
})
```
### Custom generateMessageID Function
- you can modify the messageId generator function against the socket
```javascript
const sock = makeWASocket({
generateMessageID: () => crypto.randomBytes(11).toString('hex').toUpperCase(),
generateMessageIDV2: (userId) => {
const hash = crypto.createHash('sha256').update(userId).digest('hex').toUpperCase();
const randomPart = crypto.randomBytes(11).toString('hex').toUpperCase();
const combined = hash + randomPart;
let result = '';
for (let i = 0; i < 22; i++) {
const randomIndex = crypto.randomBytes(1)[0] % combined.length;
result += combined[randomIndex];
}
return result;
}
})
```
## Saving & Restoring Sessions
You obviously don't want to keep scanning the QR code every time you want to connect.
So, you can load the credentials to log back in:
```javascript
const makeWASocket = require("baileys-pro").default;
const { useMultiFileAuthState } = require("baileys-pro");
// enable authDebug to display session logs
const { state, saveCreds } = await useMultiFileAuthState('auth_info_baileys', { authDebug: true })
// will use the given state to connect
// so if valid credentials are available -- it'll connect without QR
const sock = makeWASocket({ auth: state })
// this will be called as soon as the credentials are updated
sock.ev.on('creds.update', saveCreds)
```
You can sync cache on MultiFileAuthState
```javascript
const makeWASocket = require("baileys-pro").default;
const { useMultiFileAuthState, makeCacheableSignalKeyStore } = require("baileys-pro");
// enable syncCache then fetch cache
const { state, saveCreds, cache: authCache } = await useMultiFileAuthState('auth_info_baileys', { syncCache: true })
const sock = makeWASocket({
auth: {
creds: state.creds,
// use makeCacheableSignalKeyStore
keys: makeCacheableSignalKeyStore(
state.keys,
pino().child({ level: "silent", stream: "store" }),
authCache
)
}
})
// this will be called as soon as the credentials are updated
sock.ev.on('creds.update', saveCreds)
```
> [!IMPORTANT]
> `useMultiFileAuthState` is a utility function to help save the auth state in a single folder, this function serves as a good guide to help write auth & key states for SQL/no-SQL databases, which I would recommend in any production grade system.
> [!NOTE]
> When a message is received/sent, due to signal sessions needing updating, the auth keys (`authState.keys`) will update. Whenever that happens, you must save the updated keys (`authState.keys.set()` is called). Not doing so will prevent your messages from reaching the recipient & cause other unexpected consequences. The `useMultiFileAuthState` function automatically takes care of that, but for any other serious implementation -- you will need to be very careful with the key state management.
## Handling Events
- Baileys uses the EventEmitter syntax for events.
They're all nicely typed up, so you shouldn't have any issues with an Intellisense editor like VS Code.
> [!IMPORTANT]
> **The events are [these](https://baileys.whiskeysockets.io/types/BaileysEventMap.html)**, it's important you see all events
You can listen to these events like this:
```javascript
const sock = makeWASocket()
sock.ev.on('messages.upsert', ({ messages }) => {
console.log('got messages', messages)
})
```
### Example to Start
> [!NOTE]
> This example includes basic auth storage too
```javascript
const makeWASocket = require("baileys-pro").default;
const { DisconnectReason, useMultiFileAuthState } = require("baileys-pro");
const Boom = require('@hapi/boom');
async function connectToWhatsApp () {
const { state, saveCreds } = await useMultiFileAuthState('auth_info_baileys')
const sock = makeWASocket({
// can provide additional config here
auth: state,
printQRInTerminal: true
})
sock.ev.on('connection.update', (update) => {
const { connection, lastDisconnect } = update
if(connection === 'close') {
const shouldReconnect = (lastDisconnect.error as Boom)?.output?.statusCode !== DisconnectReason.loggedOut
console.log('connection closed due to ', lastDisconnect.error, ', reconnecting ', shouldReconnect)
// reconnect if not logged out
if(shouldReconnect) {
connectToWhatsApp()
}
} else if(connection === 'open') {
console.log('opened connection')
}
})
sock.ev.on('messages.upsert', event => {
for (const m of event.messages) {
console.log(JSON.stringify(m, undefined, 2))
console.log('replying to', m.key.remoteJid)
await sock.sendMessage(m.key.remoteJid!, { text: 'Hello Word' })
}
})
// to storage creds (session info) when it updates
sock.ev.on('creds.update', saveCreds)
}
// run in main file
connectToWhatsApp()
```
> [!IMPORTANT]
> In `messages.upsert` it's recommended to use a loop like `for (const message of event.messages)` to handle all messages in array
### Decrypt Poll Votes
- By default poll votes are encrypted and handled in `messages.update`
- That's a simple example
```javascript
sock.ev.on('messages.update', event => {
for(const { key, update } of event) {
if(update.pollUpdates) {
const pollCreation = await getMessage(key)
if(pollCreation) {
console.log(
'got poll update, aggregation: ',
getAggregateVotesInPollMessage({
message: pollCreation,
pollUpdates: update.pollUpdates,
})
)
}
}
}
})
```
- `getMessage` is a [store](#implementing-a-data-store) implementation (in your end)
### Summary of Events on First Connection
1. When you connect first time, `connection.update` will be fired requesting you to restart sock
2. Then, history messages will be received in `messaging.history-set`
## Implementing a Data Store
- Baileys does not come with a defacto storage for chats, contacts, or messages. However, a simple in-memory implementation has been provided. The store listens for chat updates, new messages, message updates, etc., to always have an up-to-date version of the data.
> [!IMPORTANT]
> I highly recommend building your own data store, as storing someone's entire chat history in memory is a terrible waste of RAM.
It can be used as follows:
```javascript
const makeWASocket = require("baileys-pro").default;
const { makeInMemoryStore } = require("baileys-pro");
// the store maintains the data of the WA connection in memory
// can be written out to a file & read from it
const store = makeInMemoryStore({ })
// can be read from a file
store.readFromFile('./baileys_store.json')
// saves the state to a file every 10s
setInterval(() => {
store.writeToFile('./baileys_store.json')
}, 10_000)
const sock = makeWASocket({ })
// will listen from this socket
// the store can listen from a new socket once the current socket outlives its lifetime
store.bind(sock.ev)
sock.ev.on('chats.upsert', () => {
// can use 'store.chats' however you want, even after the socket dies out
// 'chats' => a KeyedDB instance
console.log('got chats', store.chats.all())
})
sock.ev.on('contacts.upsert', () => {
console.log('got contacts', Object.values(store.contacts))
})
```
The store also provides some simple functions such as `loadMessages` that utilize the store to speed up data retrieval.
## Whatsapp IDs Explain
- `id` is the WhatsApp ID, called `jid` too, of the person or group you're sending the message to.
- It must be in the format ```[country code][phone number]@s.whatsapp.net```
- Example for people: ```+19999999999@s.whatsapp.net```.
- For groups, it must be in the format ``` 123456789-123345@g.us ```.
- For broadcast lists, it's `[timestamp of creation]@broadcast`.
- For stories, the ID is `status@broadcast`.
## Utility Functions
- `getContentType`, returns the content type for any message
- `getDevice`, returns the device from message
- `makeCacheableSignalKeyStore`, make auth store more fast
- `downloadContentFromMessage`, download content from any message
## Sending Messages
- Send all types of messages with a single function
- **[Here](https://baileys.whiskeysockets.io/types/AnyMessageContent.html) you can see all message contents supported, like text message**
- **[Here](https://baileys.whiskeysockets.io/types/MiscMessageGenerationOptions.html) you can see all options supported, like quote message**
```javascript
const jid: string
const content: AnyMessageContent
const options: MiscMessageGenerationOptions
sock.sendMessage(jid, content, options)
```

```
#### Forward Messages
- You need to have message object, can be retrieved from [store](#implementing-a-data-store) or use a [message](https://baileys.whiskeysockets.io/types/WAMessage.html) object
```javascript
const msg = getMessageFromStore() // implement this on your end
await sock.sendMessage(jid, { forward: msg }) // WA forward the message!
```
#### Location Message
```javascript
await sock.sendMessage(
jid,
{
location: {
degreesLatitude: 24.121231,
degreesLongitude: 55.1121221
}
}
)
```
#### Contact Message
```javascript
const vcard = 'BEGIN:VCARD\n' // metadata of the contact card
+ 'VERSION:3.0\n'
+ 'FN:Jeff Singh\n' // full name
+ 'ORG:Ashoka Uni;\n' // the organization of the contact
+ 'TEL;type=CELL;type=VOICE;waid=911234567890:+91 12345 67890\n' // WhatsApp ID + phone number
+ 'END:VCARD'
await sock.sendMessage(
id,
{
contacts: {
displayName: 'Jeff',
contacts: [{ vcard }]
}
}
)
```
#### Reaction Message
- You need to pass the key of message, you can retrieve from [store](#implementing-a-data-store) or use a [key](https://baileys.whiskeysockets.io/types/WAMessageKey.html) object
```javascript
await sock.sendMessage(
jid,
{
react: {
text: '💖', // use an empty string to remove the reaction
key: message.key
}
}
)
```
#### Pin Message
- You need to pass the key of message, you can retrieve from [store](#implementing-a-data-store) or use a [key](https://baileys.whiskeysockets.io/types/WAMessageKey.html) object
- Time can be:
| Time | Seconds |
|-------|----------------|
| 24h | 86.400 |
| 7d | 604.800 |
| 30d | 2.592.000 |
```javascript
await sock.sendMessage(
jid,
{
pin: {
type: 1, // 0 to remove
time: 86400
key: message.key
}
}
)
```
#### Poll Message
```javascript
await sock.sendMessage(
jid,
{
poll: {
name: 'My Poll',
values: ['Option 1', 'Option 2', ...],
selectableCount: 1,
toAnnouncementGroup: false // or true
}
}
)
```
### Sending Messages with Link Previews
1. By default, wa does not have link generation when sent from the web
2. Baileys has a function to generate the content for these link previews
3. To enable this function's usage, add `link-preview-js` as a dependency to your project with `yarn add link-preview-js`
4. Send a link:
```javascript
await sock.sendMessage(
jid,
{
text: 'Hi, this was sent using https://github.com/whiskeysockets/baileys'
}
)
```
### Media Messages
Sending media (video, stickers, images) is easier & more efficient than ever.
> [!NOTE]
> In media messages, you can pass `{ stream: Stream }` or `{ url: Url }` or `Buffer` directly, you can see more [here](https://baileys.whiskeysockets.io/types/WAMediaUpload.html)
- When specifying a media url, Baileys never loads the entire buffer into memory; it even encrypts the media as a readable stream.
> [!TIP]
> It's recommended to use Stream or Url to save memory
#### Gif Message
- Whatsapp doesn't support `.gif` files, that's why we send gifs as common `.mp4` video with `gifPlayback` flag
```javascript
await sock.sendMessage(
jid,
{
video: fs.readFileSync('Media/ma_gif.mp4'),
caption: 'hello word',
gifPlayback: true
}
)
```
#### Video Message
```javascript
await sock.sendMessage(
id,
{
video: {
url: './Media/ma_gif.mp4'
},
caption: 'hello word',
ptv: false // if set to true, will send as a `video note`
}
)
```
#### Audio Message
- To audio message work in all devices you need to convert with some tool like `ffmpeg` with this flags:
```bash
codec: libopus //ogg file
ac: 1 //one channel
avoid_negative_ts
make_zero
```
- Example:
```bash
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -avoid_negative_ts make_zero -ac 1 output.ogg
```
```javascript
await sock.sendMessage(
jid,
{
audio: {
url: './Media/audio.mp3'
},
mimetype: 'audio/mp4'
}
)
```
#### Image Message
```javascript
await sock.sendMessage(
id,
{
image: {
url: './Media/ma_img.png'
},
caption: 'hello word'
}
)
```
#### View Once Message
- You can send all messages above as `viewOnce`, you only need to pass `viewOnce: true` in content object
```javascript
await sock.sendMessage(
id,
{
image: {
url: './Media/ma_img.png'
},
viewOnce: true, //works with video, audio too
caption: 'hello word'
}
)
```
## Modify Messages
### Deleting Messages (for everyone)
```javascript
const msg = await sock.sendMessage(jid, { text: 'hello word' })
await sock.sendMessage(jid, { delete: msg.key })
```
**Note:** deleting for oneself is supported via `chatModify`, see in [this section](#modifying-chats)
### Editing Messages
- You can pass all editable contents here
```javascript
await sock.sendMessage(jid, {
text: 'updated text goes here',
edit: response.key,
});
```
## Manipulating Media Messages
### Thumbnail in Media Messages
- For media messages, the thumbnail can be generated automatically for images & stickers provided you add `jimp` or `sharp` as a dependency in your project using `yarn add jimp` or `yarn add sharp`.
- Thumbnails for videos can also be generated automatically, though, you need to have `ffmpeg` installed on your system.
### Downloading Media Messages
If you want to save the media you received
```javascript
const { createWriteStream } = require('fs');
const { downloadMediaMessage, getContentType } = require("baileys-pro");
sock.ev.on('messages.upsert', async ({ [m] }) => {
if (!m.message) return // if there is no text or media message
const messageType = getContentType(m) // get what type of message it is (text, image, video...)
// if the message is an image
if (messageType === 'imageMessage') {
// download the message
const stream = await downloadMediaMessage(
m,
'stream', // can be 'buffer' too
{ },
{
logger,
// pass this so that baileys can request a reupload of media
// that has been deleted
reuploadRequest: sock.updateMediaMessage
}
)
// save to file
const writeStream = createWriteStream('./my-download.jpeg')
stream.pipe(writeStream)
}
}
```
### Re-upload Media Message to Whatsapp
- WhatsApp automatically removes old media from their servers. For the device to access said media -- a re-upload is required by another device that has it. This can be accomplished using:
```javascript
await sock.updateMediaMessage(msg)
```
## Reject Call
- You can obtain `callId` and `callFrom` from `call` event
```javascript
await sock.rejectCall(callId, callFrom)
```
## Send States in Chat
### Reading Messages
- A set of message [keys](https://baileys.whiskeysockets.io/types/WAMessageKey.html) must be explicitly marked read now.
- You cannot mark an entire 'chat' read as it were with Baileys Web.
This means you have to keep track of unread messages.
```javascript
const key: WAMessageKey
// can pass multiple keys to read multiple messages as well
await sock.readMessages([key])
```
The message ID is the unique identifier of the message that you are marking as read.
On a `WAMessage`, the `messageID` can be accessed using ```messageID = message.key.id```.
### Update Presence
- ``` presence ``` can be one of [these](https://baileys.whiskeysockets.io/types/WAPresence.html)
- The presence expires after about 10 seconds.
- This lets the person/group with `jid` know whether you're online, offline, typing etc.
```javascript
await sock.sendPresenceUpdate('available', jid)
```
> [!NOTE]
> If a desktop client is active, WA doesn't send push notifications to the device. If you would like to receive said notifications -- mark your Baileys client offline using `sock.sendPresenceUpdate('unavailable')`
## Modifying Chats
WA uses an encrypted form of communication to send chat/app updates. This has been implemented mostly and you can send the following updates:
> [!IMPORTANT]
> If you mess up one of your updates, WA can log you out of all your devices and you'll have to log in again.
### Archive a Chat
```javascript
const lastMsgInChat = await getLastMessageInChat(jid) // implement this on your end
await sock.chatModify({ archive: true, lastMessages: [lastMsgInChat] }, jid)
```
### Mute/Unmute a Chat
- Supported times:
| Time | Miliseconds |
|-------|-----------------|

```javascript
// mute for 8 hours
await sock.chatModify({ mute: 8 * 60 * 60 * 1000 }, jid)
// unmute
await sock.chatModify({ mute: null }, jid)
```
### Mark a Chat Read/Unread
```javascript
const lastMsgInChat = await getLastMessageInChat(jid) // implement this on your end
// mark it unread
await sock.chatModify({ markRead: false, lastMessages: [lastMsgInChat] }, jid)
```
### Delete a Message for Me
```javascript
await sock.chatModify(
{
clear: {
messages: [

messageTimestamp: lastMsgInChat.messageTimestamp
}
]
},
jid
)
```
### Pin/Unpin a Chat
```javascript
await sock.chatModify({
pin: true // or `false` to unpin
},
jid
)
```
### Star/Unstar a Message
```javascript
await sock.chatModify({
star: {
messages: [
{
id: 'messageID',
fromMe: true // or `false`
}
],
star: true // - true: Star Message; false: Unstar Message
}
},
jid
)
```
### Disappearing Messages
- Ephemeral can be:
| Time | Seconds |
|-------|----------------|
| Remove | 0 |
| 24h | 86.400 |
| 7d | 604.800 |
| 90d | 7.776.000 |
- You need to pass in **Seconds**, default is 7 days
```javascript
// turn on disappearing messages
await sock.sendMessage(
jid,
