Whatsapp Ruby SDK gem

Whatsapp released the Cloud API. I had an App that uses Whatsapp, and I extracted all the Ruby code that talks to the API into a gem and made it public.

The gem provides the ability to connect with Whatsapp API. Amongst them, you can:

- Interact with Business Profiles. - Interact with Phone numbers. - Interact with Media: audio, videos, images, stickers, templates, and documents (Upload/Download, send, receive). - Send and receive messages (text, templates and others).

I'm looking for suggestions to make it better. I'm sure the people in HN could provide great feedback I could use to improve the library.

Thank you!



Thanks for releasing it. Loved the demo video.

I haven't heard of the Cloud API. Is it easier to get started with WhatsApp API now? Does it make services like 360dialog less relevant?


Hey, thanks.

It should be easier to get started with Whatsapp Cloud API. I have been using the gem for a while and it's working for me.
