Unofficial WhatsApp API for n8n

A lightweight unofficial WhatsApp API built with whatsmeow, designed to integrate WhatsApp with n8n.

It delivers incoming WhatsApp messages (text and voice notes) to n8n webhooks, and exposes a simple HTTP endpoint that n8n can call to send messages back.

• Send WhatsApp messages via POST /send.
• Basic Auth protection for webhooks and API.
• Persistent session with SQLite.
• QR code pairing for WhatsApp login.
