`OpenWA`: self-hosted open-source WhatsApp API gateway
70radar
OpenWAWhatsApp API gateway — self-hosted with pluggable infra
Vendor lock-in drops out of the WhatsApp automation stack. Multi-session, webhooks, dashboard, and pluggable infra make it worth testing before paying hosted gateway fees.
- REST API, webhooks with HMAC, API keys, Swagger docs, and a React dashboard are included — enough surface for real app integration.
- Multi-session support lets one instance run multiple WhatsApp accounts, useful for separating products, clients, or regions.
- Infra is configurable:
SQLite/PostgreSQL, local/S3, memory/Redis. Start cheap, then move pieces as volume grows. - Messaging covers text, media, reactions, bulk sends, delivery/read status, groups, channels, labels, proxy, rate limits, CIDR allowlists, and audit logs.
