WhatsApp Status Fetcher 📸

A powerful and automated Node.js tool to download WhatsApp Status images and videos directly from WhatsApp Web.

Features

• Fully Automated: Uses Puppeteer to visually scrape and download statuses as they appear on your screen.
• Smart Folder Organization: Automatically extracts the contact's name and organizes downloaded media into individual folders (e.g., images/ContactName/status_123.jpeg).
• Video & Image Support: Effortlessly handles both image and video statuses.
• Session Saving: Saves your WhatsApp login session so you only have to scan the QR code once.

Prerequisites

• Node.js installed on your machine.
