What are some Python-WhatsApp tricks?

*Python program to check user status (online/offline) from recent chats.

• Uses Selenium Web Driver
• Need to scan WhatsApp Web QR code
• Generates an excel file stored with the statuses ;)
• Has a green background for people which are online
• Flaw: Shows online for group (though it can be removed easily)

Code:

1. from selenium import webdriver 
2. from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys 
3. from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException 
4. from openpyxl import Workbook 
5. from openpyxl.styles import PatternFill 
6. import time 
7.  
8. workbook = Workbook() 
9. sheet = workbook.active 
10.  
11. browser = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r"F:\software\chromedriver_win32\chromedriver.exe") 
12. //enter your driver path above 
13. browser.get('https://web.whatsapp.com/') 
14.  
15. print("Loading..\n") 
16.  
17. for x in range(5,0,-1): 
18. print("\b") 
19. print(x) 
20. time.sleep(1) 
21.  
22. def check_exists_by_xpath(): 
23. try: 
24. browser.find_element_by_xpath('//span[@class="O90ur _3FXB1"]') 
25. except NoSuchElementException: 
26. return False 
27. return True 
28.  
29.  
30. count = 1 
31. for iterator in browser.find_elements_by_xpath('//div[@class="_2wP_Y"]'): 
32. iterator.click() 
33.  
34. cellA = "A" + str(count) 
35. cellB = "B" + str(count) 
36. time.sleep(2) 
37. name = browser.find_element_by_xpath('//div[@class="_3XrHh"]/span').text 
38. if check_exists_by_xpath() == True: 
39. sheet[cellA] = name 
40. sheet[cellB] = " isOnline\n" 
41. sheet[cellA].fill = PatternFill(start_color="a4d968", end_color="a4d968", fill_type = "solid") 
42. sheet[cellB].fill = PatternFill(start_color="a4d968", end_color="a4d968", fill_type = "solid") 
43. if check_exists_by_xpath() == False: 
44. sheet[cellA] = name 
45. sheet[cellB] = " isOffline\n" 
46. count = count + 1 
47.  
48. workbook.save(filename="WhatsApp_Data.xlsx") 
49. print("Complete..!") 
50. browser.close() 

Have Fun at Home ;)
