WPPConnect/WA-Version

Track WhatsApp Web versions and retrieve stored page content.

A project in the WPPConnect ecosystem, maintained by WPPConnect Team.

Getting started | Documentation | Contributing | Support WPPConnect

Overview

For browser-automation maintainers investigating compatibility changes. Version snapshots and local lookup helpers support controlled upgrades; an older HTML snapshot does not guarantee that WhatsApp will accept that client.

Features

• List available versions, select the latest matching version and inspect version metadata.
• Retrieve stored HTML and check current stable, beta and alpha versions.

Getting started

Use Node.js and npm. No minimum Node version is declared in the package.

npm install @wppconnect/wa-version
node -e "const v = require('@wppconnect/wa-version'); console.log(v.getLatestVersion());"

This prints the latest version available in the installed package; it performs a local lookup.

Configuration

getLatestVersion(versionMatch, includePrerelease) accepts a semver filter. getAvailableVersions() lists local snapshots. Network fetching and update tools have separate behavior; see src.

Contributions of code, tests, examples, documentation and translations are welcome. For larger changes, discuss the approach in an issue first. Include the project/runtime versions, a minimal reproduction and sanitized logs when reporting a problem. Update both README.md and README.pt-BR.md in the same change when installation, configuration, features, examples, licensing or funding changes.

After installing the development dependencies, use the repository checks relevant to your change:

npm run build
npm run lint

Account-dependent examples and tests require separate validation with an authorized test account. Never attach credentials or session files to an issue.
