CONFIGURATION FILE
A configuration file, known as login credentials, can be used to gather some basic
information that useful to register or login. This configuration file will be called by
'-c' option.
WhatsApp protocol is basically a modified version of XMPP. It uses JID and password for
login. The JID is the phone number registered with, which is a combination of the country
code and the phone number. To login will be needed a password. These info can be saved in
a text file, in the following format:
cc=55
phone=556101234567
password=NDkxNTIyNTI1NjAyMkBzLndoYXRzYXBwLm5ldA==
The line 'cc=' must be filled with the country code.
The 'phone=' field will be composed by 'country code' + 'area code' + 'phone number'. In
the current example was used 55 (country = Brazil) + 61 (area code = Brasilia) + 01234567
(phone number). The country code must be provided without '+' or '00' leading.
Finally, the 'password=' field has the login password. This password will be gotten when
you register the phone number using yowsup-cli. See the REGISTERING A NUMBER section. If
you are registering a number, you can leave this field blank.
For security reasons, is recommended set a permission '600' to configuration file and make
it hidden. More details about the configuration file can be viewed using this command:
$ yowsup-cli registration --help-config
REGISTERING A NUMBER
WhatsApp registration involves 2 steps. First you need to request a registration code.
After this, you resume the registration with code that you got. In both cases, you can or
not use a configuration file (see the above section in this manual page).
An example not using a configuration file:
yowsup-cli registration --requestcode sms --phone 556101234567 --cc 55 --mcc 123 --mnc 456
yowsup-cli registration --register 123-456 --phone 556101234567 --cc 55
Now, using a configuration file:
yowsup-cli registration --requestcode sms --mcc 123 --mnc 456 -c /home/user/.yowsuprc
yowsup-cli registration --register 123-456 -c /home/user/.yowsuprc
The first command (the '--requestcode' action) will show something similar to:
status: sent
retry_after: 10805
length: 6
method: sms
After this, the code will then be delivered to your mobile phone number via your preferred
method (SMS/voice). Once you have obtained the code, you proceed with the second step,
which is to send that code using the '--register' argument. This example will consider the
received code as being 123-456:
yowsup-cli registration --register 123-456 -c /home/user/.yowsuprc
After the last command, you will see something similar to:
status: ok
kind: free
pw: 1coGO6bwjT8Uukw9qa8v3ql2KXM=
price: US$0.99
price_expiration: 1407002374
currency: USD
cost: 0.99
expiration: 1435773701
login: 556101234567
type: new
If you successfully register, WhatsApp will generate a password for your which will be
displayed in the command output (see the 'pw:' line). If you want to use a config file,
you MUST MANUALLY store this password in this config file. See an example:
cc=55
phone=556101234567
password=1coGO6bwjT8Uukw9qa8v3ql2KXM=
