// como funciona

Como funciona

  1. Clarify your goal

    Decide which engine fits you (WEBJS is the documented quick-start default) and which WhatsApp number will be paired as the session.

  2. Get the project

    Clone devlikeapro/waha from GitHub (or use the install path in the run steps below) and skim its README for the parts relevant to your goal.

  3. Install and configure

    Pull the WAHA Docker image and run it on port 3000 — no build step needed for the quick start.

  4. Run your first task

    Start a session through the API, fetch and scan the QR code with the phone, then send yourself a test text message via the REST API.

// recursos

Por que as pessoas gostam tanto

One REST API for WhatsApp

Send and receive WhatsApp messages over plain HTTP, with a Swagger UI documenting every endpoint.

Multiple engines

Choose WEBJS (browser), NOWEB (websocket Node.js), GOWS (websocket Go) or WPP (browser) under the same API.

Dashboard included

A web dashboard to manage sessions and check status, alongside the API.

QR session flow

Start a session, retrieve the QR code, scan it with WhatsApp, and the API is connected to that account.

Docker-first deployment

Ships as a ready Docker image (devlikeapro/waha) you can run in one command.

MCP support

Includes MCP server capability for WhatsApp, so AI agents can use it as a tool through Model Context Protocol.

Perguntas frequentes

Who maintains waha?

devlikeapro, through the devlikeapro/waha repository, with documentation at waha.devlike.pro.

Is waha free to use?

Yes — the project is open source under the Apache-2.0 license as recorded for this listing. See the license terms for any conditions on redistribution.

Does waha need a paid API key?

WAHA itself is free to self-host and needs no WhatsApp API key — it pairs with a real WhatsApp account by QR code. Note it is an unofficial integration, so account and terms risk sit with you; some features sit in the WAHA Plus image.

How does WAHA compare to the official WhatsApp Business Platform?

The official platform is Meta-supported, template-governed and priced per conversation through providers. WAHA is a self-hosted REST wrapper around WhatsApp Web-style engines — fast to start and free, but unofficial and dependent on a paired account session.

How do I get started with waha?

Clone the repository (or use the documented installer), follow the install and configure steps on this page, and run the smallest real task first — start a session through the API, fetch and scan the QR code with the phone, then send yourself a test text message via the REST API.
