Over searching, I found various solutions such as -
1 - Web Scraping using selenium but that is a very inefficient way to track multiple contacts
2 - Using store object. That was one of the best ways to track WhatsApp online status for multiple numbers but after the recent update, WhatsApp has stopped showing the online status of unsaved, unchatted contacts due to which all these methods have failed.
but I wonder how various applications like -
. https://chatwatch.net/
. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.familog&hl=en_IN&gl=US
are still able to track the online status ?
After 6-7 December update, you can't.
Your ways:
Mock the XMPP Protocol
Create a real device (like emulator or android phone) and get the data on client.
Create a real device (like emulator or android phone) and get the data from Whatsapp Web.
Mock the Whatsapp Application.
Man in the middle attack to whatsapp application.
These ways deprecated because after 6/7 December Security Update if you don't have whatsapp chat history with this number, you can not subscribe his presence.
After today, if you want to track someone you have to chat with him. If you message the person you will follow before following, this will be detected by whatsapp and you will get banned.

I am using FCM Cloud Messaging framework to send and receive push messages for both Android and ios. To send messages from my server I call FCM v1 API. I use FCM SDK app in my native app (react native based) to generate device registration token, etc.
I am trying to find ways where the push messages show grouped in device system tray like on Whatsapp i.e. messages containing a particular unique id should be grouped under one category e.g. all messages for a particular stock ticker showing under one group, etc.
When searching for possible solutions I came across various links such as:
React Native - Android - FCM - Display group notification like What's app also allowing multiple grouped notifications
Group fcm notifications like whatsapp but allowing multiple group notifications
But none of those helped. For example sending "tag" field replaces previous message when new one is received with the same value. Moreover when app is closed none of the message handling functions of native app are executing on the device so I believe this should be purely a server side functionality. On FCM docs page there is no reference to grouping of messages.

Any suggestions on how to implement this ?
I implemented that with the help of the library react-native-push-notification and this issue helped me a lot Group notifications
I am using twilio to in my app for a peer to peer video chat (using Small Group Room with max 2 participants). I have enabled video recording in my backend so I am able to record and save the videos but the problem occurs when I try to use the compositions API.
Composition API requires video_sources which is an array of video sources that will be used in the composition. Nowhere on the documentation it says how I can set the video source value. I can grab the PARTICIPANT SID and use that but it would be much much easier if I can use a value that is stored in my database. Users are also able to disconnect from the room and connect again so I need to keep track of video sources of a user.
Has anyone came across this issue?
This is a perfect example of what I mean by custom video_source

The compositions API is only supported for Group Rooms.

I want to implement Whatsapp
to send information from an external application. The idea is to use this
external application to send information throughout Whatsapp.
If you can help me about the terms and
conditions and if this query is possible to develop.
There is a way through which you can send WhatsApp message from your self created application. Use this link Chat API.
But it only provides 3 days trail period and after that you have to purchase it.
The process in that is, you have to register with your google account, then scan the QR code provided(which changes after every 45 seconds). and you are set to go, they will provide you the API for : PHP, Node.JS, Jquery, CURL.
One thing more you always have to keep your phone connected with the internet everytime.
Also I found a drawback in that, i.e. they also provide API to read messages, but it is too slow, as in my condition I can see my messages of yesterday but not of today.
I built a conversation bot with text-to-speech, but no matter how well I tune it, the voice sounds robotic.
I think it would be simpler to have the conversation bot pick a pre-recorded audio and stream it back to the user.
Does anyone see issues with this?
Is there already an example of this so I don't reinvent the wheel?
This functionality needs to be implemented on the client side of the application. Watson Conversation Service can return a text answer and for example an index of the audio record you want to play.
This index then needs to be picked up by the client application communicating with Watson Conversation Service (e.g. a web page in node.js) and the audio record can be played to the user.
As for some examples...in Conversation Service docs there are links to github projects that integrate Watson Conversation Service with node.js web applications - these can be extended by adding the audio records and functionality that will play those records to the user.
I was wondering if it was possible to detect what song a user is listening to from his/her current active device via the spotify web api.
Thanks.
I know this is an old question, but there is a new beta API endpoint available that supplies this information. It does have some bugs that I've noticed though.
Stations only: If you change stations, you have to restart Spotify to get the API endpoint to update and continue updating.
According to bug reports, it lags behind 20 to 30 minutes at random. I haven't had that problem, so it may be fixed.
GET https://api.spotify.com/v1/me/player/currently-playing
Docs: https://developer.spotify.com/web-api/get-the-users-currently-playing-track/
This is not possible using the web API. If you're writing a Mac app, you can use the Spotify Desktop Client's AppleScript API to access the current track. If the user is scribbling to Last.fm, you can use Last.fm's APIs. Otherwise, this data is not accessible.
