How to download a ptt message to local disk?

Hello Shah Mohammad,

Exploring your software to its deep, I am here again with a catch.

How can I download the ppt message by its id? I am using EasyAPI and loving it so far.

hey @ahmeaqas thanks for your kind words. I'm happy to hear you're still using it.

You can automatically save media to disk via the api using the message preprocessor config:

https://docs.openwa.dev/interfaces/api_model_config.ConfigObject.html#messagePreprocessor

with the easy api you can add --message-preprocessor AUTO_DECRYPT_SAVE

You can also upload to the cloud in a secure s3 based bucket by using cli.config.json

{
  "messagePreProcessor": "UPLOAD_CLOUD",
  "cloudUploadOptions": {...}
}

The docs for cloudUploadOptions is here https://docs.openwa.dev/interfaces/api_model_config.ConfigObject.html#cloudUploadOptions

I passed the argument to the script and run it via pm2.

Now I can find it under a folder called Media with the file name respective to the message id.

Now will process this information to get this media available on the dashboard.

There is one more issue.

It is also saving outgoing messages. Is it possible to save only incoming and voice messages?

Update to the latest version and move to a cli.config.json setup. Add the following to cli.config.json:

  "messagePreprocessor": "AUTO_DECRYPT_SAVE",
  "preprocFilter": "m=>!m.fromMe && m.type===`ptt`",
