Building A WhatsApp
Bot Using Python With
Source Code
Introduction :
In this article, we are going to see how to create a
WhatsApp Bot using Python. A WhatsApp bot is
application so!ware that is able to carry on
communication with humans in a spoken or written
manner. And today we are going to learn how we can
create a WhatsApp bot using python. First, let’s see the
requirements for building the WhatsApp bot using python
language.
A Whatsapp Bot can send and receive messages and
perform tasks like sending notifications , etc . To build
this you should use Twilio API which provides the
necessary tools to connect your Python script to
Whatsapp . In This we will use the Python library which is
named as Flask . It is used to handle the incoming and
outgoing messages .
Language And Interface :-
Build A WhatsApp Bot Using Python , A Versatile
Programming Language With Source
Code .
Required Modules Or
Packages :-
1. A Twilio account and a smartphone with an active
phone number and WhatsApp installed.
2. Must have Python 3.9 or newer installed in the system.
3.
3. Flask:
Flask: We will be using a flask to create a web
application that responds to incoming WhatsApp
messages with it.
4.
4. Ngrok:
Ngrok: Ngrok will help us to connect the Flask
application running on your system to a public URL that
Twilio can connect to. This is necessary for the
development version of the chatbot because your
computer is likely behind a router or firewall, so it isn’t
directly reachable on the Internet.
How To Run The Code :-
Step
Step 1:
1: Set up the Twilio account using the
https://www.twilio.com/whatsapp
https://www.twilio.com/whatsapp .. Go to this link
and click on signup and start building button and fill in
your details and verify your email ID and mobile number.
Step
Step 22 :: A!er login, select the Develop option from the
le! menu and then further select the Messaging subject
then select the Try it out option, and in the last click on
Send a WhatsApp message. This will open up a new
webpage for setting up the WhatsApp Sandbox.
Step
Step 3:
3: Configure the Twilio WhatsApp Sandbox by
sending a message to this WhatsApp number with the
secret unique security code as shown in the below
images:

<secret-code>
Step
Step 4:
4: Now, send the secret code to the above
WhatsApp message and you will receive a confirmation
message .
Step
Step 5:
5: Open up the terminal and run the following
command to create a directory for the bot, to create a
virtual environment for python, to install all the
necessary packages.
• To create the directory and navigate to that directory:
• To create and activate the python virtual environment:
• To install Twilio, flask and requests:
Code Explaination :-
This Python script makes the WhatsApp Bot. Ensures that
You Have Downloaded the modules given above . Import
the necessary files needed to run this flask app.
Receiving message entered by the user and sending the
response. We can access theuser response that is coming
in the payload of the POST request with a key of ’Body’.
To Send Messages / respond to the user , we are going to
use MessagingResponse() function from Twilio .
So now we will build the chatbot logic, we are going to
ask the user to enter a topic that he/she want to learn
then we send the message to the bot .
Here, in this function, using user_msg will receive the
user response/query. Then we are using google search to
fetch the first 5 links from the Google search with the user
query and storing them into a list called result. A!er that,
are simply sending the first 5 links to the user using the
Twilio messaging service.
How To Run Bot :-
Firstly, run the above script using the following
command: python3
python3 main2.py
main2.py
Secondly, open up another terminal window and run the
following command to start the
ngrok server. ngrok
ngrok http
http 5000
5000
And third and last step we have to do is to set up the
forwarding URL in the WhatsApp
Sandbox Settings. Navigate to the following link and
paste the forwarding URL in the
selected location and click on save.

Source Code :
main.py
from flask import Flask
from googlesearch import search
import requests
from twilio.twiml.messaging_response
import MessagingResponse
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route("/", methods=["POST"])
# chatbot logic
def bot():
# user input
user_msg =
request.values.get('Body',
'').lower()
# creating object of
MessagingResponse
response = MessagingResponse()
# User Query
q = user_msg +
"geeksforgeeks.org"
# list to store urls
result = []
# searching and storing urls
for i in search(q,
num_results=3):
result.append(i)
# displaying result
msg = response.message(f"---
Results for '{user_msg}' ---")
for result in search_results:
msg =
response.message(result)
return str(response)
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run()
