Validate WhatsApp accounts/numbers about yowsup

[CODeRUS]

why you asking it in Yowsup project bugtracker?

I was just thinking this might be related to why some of the guys were having their accounts banned after 17th msg.

if you want, i write this php code in two versions... you can use it:

function hasWhatsappV1($number)
{
    $status_url     = "http://dev.developr.ch/whatsappstatus/index.php?number=".$number;
    $status_content = file_get_contents($status_url);

    if ($status_content == "null") {
        return false;
    } else {
        return true;
    }
}

function hasWhatsappV2($number)
{
    $country = substr($number, 0, 2);
    $number = substr($number, 2);

    $status_url     = "https://sro.whatsapp.net/client/iphone/iq.php?cd=1&cc=".$country."&me=12345&u[]=".$number;
    $status_content = file_get_contents($status_url);
    $status_xml     = simplexml_load_string($status_content);

    if(!$status_xml->array->dict) return false;

    return true;
}

is hasWhatsappV2() working ??

Last time I checked they both worked, choose what you want ...

edit:
Not Found
The requested URL /client/iphone/iq.php was not found on this server.

hasWhatsappV2() will not work anymore... they (whatsapp) removed this page..

[kingk110]

and the 1st is not working also!!!

Ok so forget it,
We'll find a new way ... (What I do is ask for the user's status is null and if it says no account whatsapp)
But anyway, you should concentrate on the real problem, now I can not send messages through the computer normally, I am constantly blocked ... Must find a solution

you are not up to date about protocol changes. read this repo commit log.

anyway, I think that checking accounts is not the logical reaction against temporary bans after mass mssaging.

just try to send less messages at a slower speed
