A bridge between WhatsApp and Telegram.
This creates two listeners, one for WhatsApp and another for a Telegram bot. When the WhatsApp listener receives a message it relays the content to the Telegram bot, which sends it to the owner. In order to send a message to WhatsApp, the owner must do so through the Telegram bot.
$ virtualenv -p python3 venv
$ . venv/bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ WAT_CONF=path_to_conf_file python watbridge.py
NOTE: For some reason, yowsup has issues when receiving messages. The workaround mentioned at tgalal/yowsup#1613 (comment) works, so instead of installing yowsup from requirements, use:
$ pip install -U git+https://github.com/tawanda/yowsup.git
[tg]
owner = ONWER_ID
token = TOKEN
[wa]
phone = PHONE_NUMBER
password = PASSWORD
[db]
path = PATH_TO_DBThe Telegram token is obtained by talking to the BotFather through Telegram and creating a bot, while the owner ID can be obtained by using the /me command.
The WhatsApp phone must include the country code (only two digits) followed by the number, for instance 49xxxxxxxxx, and the password can be obtained through the Yowsup cli interface.
Lastly, the database path is the full path to the file that will contain blacklist and contacts. Note that this path should be readable/writable by the user that executes the application.
