WhatsAppAPI Sending Messages And Registering
<p>I'm just curious as everything I've researched online so far doesn't seem up to date. This weekend I set myself a little project just to automate a message but not spamming or used for commercial use.</p>

<p>I tried to find the password needed for the whatsapp api</p>

<pre><code>  WhatsApp wa = new WhatsApp(myNumber, password, nickname, true);
</code></pre>

<p>WhatsAppAPI constructor below. </p>

<pre><code> public class WhatsApp : WhatsSendBase
{
    public WhatsApp(string phoneNum, string imei, string nick, bool debug = false, bool hidden = false);
</code></pre>

<p>The problem and questions I face start with a program called WART which is downloadable from the below github repository.</p>

<p><a href="https://github.com/mgp25/WART" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/mgp25/WART</a></p>

<p>After downloading this and trying to get the password I was unsuccessful. I then used the webclient version.</p>

<p>the github repository stated</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>In case WART isn't working, use this online tool:

</blockquote>

<p>To my surprise WhatsApp have blocked my number. From responses online I didn't think anyone else has had this problem.</p>

<p>I was aware that I could be blocked for spamming but I didn't send one message through he API and so I'm slightly confused. </p>

<p>Is there away round this?
Is this not a suitable project? 
Have I done something wrong? 
Has anyone used this API before?</p>

<p>Edited Recently after more research to add the below...</p>

<p>Just found this repository that was taken down <a href="https://github.com/venomous0x/WhatsAPI" rel="nofollow noreferrer">WhatsAPI Repository</a></p>

<p>From the looks of it WhatsApp was targetting spammers .
