Waahy

Made in Madagascar

WhatsApp,
through an API

Waahy is a hosted WhatsApp API for Malagasy developers. Link an account with a QR code, then send, receive and read messages from your own application — without hosting and configuring the whole thing yourself.

How it works

Three steps, in this order

  1. 1 · Scan

    Point your phone at a QR code

    Waahy shows a QR code. You scan it from WhatsApp on your phone, the same way you link WhatsApp Web. The session stays connected on our side.

  2. 2 · Key

    Take your API key

    Connecting gives you a key scoped to that one account. Nothing else to configure, and no server of your own to keep running.

  3. 3 · Send

    Call the API from your app

    Send text and images, read what comes back, and fetch message history over plain HTTP from whatever language you already write.

What you get

What you would otherwise build

Send messages
Text and images to any number your account can reach.
Receive messages
Read incoming messages and media as they arrive.
Message history
Fetch past conversations without scraping anything.
One account, one key
Each connected number gets its own scoped key.

Link an account and send your first message

Scanning the QR code takes about a minute. You can try it before you decide to build anything on it.
