I assume the websocket returns bytes and you should convert this to what is expected to be the data. String, integer, perhaps another data type

This is definitely not Base64.

As @internal ref struct FusedQyou said, you receive bytes.

First 4 bytes seems to serve as a tag? The data after is a json object.

Oni

Oni•4/4/24, 11:29 AM

It seems like you are trying to mimic the Whatsapp client?

Oni

Oni•4/4/24, 11:29 AM

I'm not allowed to support you any further I guess.

Yifan Lu

YYifan Lu how did you figure out? just by the data?

Oni

O

Oni•4/4/24, 11:32 AM

Yes, also the JSON object contains sensitive data of yours, JFYI.

Yifan Lu

YYifan Lu can you tell me how you read it sir, please?

Yifan LuOP•4/4/24, 11:34 AM

Oni

O

Oni•4/4/24, 11:34 AM

Which is against Whatsapp ToS.

Patrick

P

Patrick•4/4/24, 11:34 AM

I see, why are you doing that? How come you're not using their business API?

Yifan Lu

Y

Yifan LuOP•4/4/24, 11:35 AM

Business API let me automate messages but I have two accounts, one which is business and one which is private

Yifan Lu

Y

Yifan LuOP•4/4/24, 11:35 AM

I want the private to be a "bot" too connected with ChatGPT

Patrick

P

Patrick•4/4/24, 11:35 AM

right, they don't want you automating private accounts

Yifan Lu

Y

Yifan LuOP•4/4/24, 11:35 AM
