For some of my technical experiments, I was trying to figure out how beneficial and feasible it is to implement bots for different chat platforms in terms of market share and so possibilities of adaptation. Especially when you have bankruptly failed twice, it's important to validate ideas and fail more faster.

Popular chat platforms like Messenger, Slack, Skype etc. have happily (in the sense officially) provided APIs for bots to interact with, but WhatsApp has not yet provided any API.

However, since many years, a lot of activities has happened around this - struggle towards automated interaction with WhatsApp platform:

1. Bots AppBots App is interesting because it shows that something is really tried and tested.

2. YowsupA project still actively developed to interact with WhatsApp platform.

3. Yallagenie Yallagenie claim that there is a demo bot which can be interacted with at +971 56 112 6652

4. HubtypeHubtype is working towards having a bot platform for WhatsApp for business.

5. FredFred's task was to automate WhatsApp conversations, however since it was not officially supported by WhatsApp - it was shut down.

6. Oye GennieA bot blocked by WhatsApp.

7. App/Website to WhatsAppWe can use custom URL schemes and Android intent system to interact with WhatsApp but still NOT WhatsApp API.

8. Chat API daemonProbably created by inspecting the API calls in WhatsApp web version. NOT affiliated with WhatsApp.

9. WhatsBotDeactivated WhatsApp bot. Created during a hackathon.

10. No API claimWhatsApp co-founder clearly stated this in a conference that they did not had any plans for APIs for WhatsApp.

11. Bot WareThey probably are expecting WhatsApp to release their APIs for chat bot platforms.

12. VixiThey seems to be talking about how some platform which probably would work for WhatsApp. There is no clarity as such.

13. Unofficial APIThis API can shut off any time.

    And the number goes on...
