# Baileys - Typescript/Javascript WhatsApp Web API
Baileys does not require Selenium or any other browser to be interface with WhatsApp Web, it does so directly using a **WebSocket**.
Not running Selenium or Chromimum saves you like **half a gig** of ram :/
Baileys supports interacting with the multi-device & web versions of WhatsApp.
Thank you to [@pokearaujo](https://github.com/pokearaujo/multidevice) for writing his observations on the workings of WhatsApp Multi-Device. Also, thank you to [@Sigalor](https://github.com/sigalor/whatsapp-web-reveng) for writing his observations on the workings of WhatsApp Web and thanks to [@Rhymen](https://github.com/Rhymen/go-whatsapp/) for the __go__ implementation.

Baileys is type-safe, extensible and simple to use. If you require more functionality than provided, it's super easy to write an extension. More on this [here](#WritingCustomFunctionality).
Baileys was recently taken down from Gitub as a result of a cease and desist from Whatsapp.
This request has no legal value(it's not the same thing as a DMCA strike), yet the project has been removed by its original author, Adhiraj Singh, and moved here.
This is the only official repository and is mantained by the community.
