    Thanks. Dropping that in the Internet Archive.

      If you're going to archive it, you should grab: https://github.com/venomous0x/WhatsAPI/tree/16a6349a1fbc9e9ad8770bbafbea2a34746326dd https://github.com/venomous0x/WhatsAPI/tree/16a6349a1fbc9e9a... And all pull requests - add .patch to the URL to pull it out as a diff - see https://api.github.com/repos/venomous0x/WhatsAPI/pulls?state=open https://api.github.com/repos/venomous0x/WhatsAPI/pulls?state... and https://api.github.com/repos/venomous0x/WhatsAPI/issues https://api.github.com/repos/venomous0x/WhatsAPI/issues

          I put a copy of the pre-takedown repo here: https://github.com/forkingforker/WhatsAPI https://github.com/forkingforker/WhatsAPI Currently trying to figure out how to transfer issues and comments over as well.

              Thanks for the link. I ended up just dumping them all here in JSON format so at least they are archived somewhere, if he does a full delete: https://github.com/forkingforker/WhatsAPI-issues-milestones-labels-pulls https://github.com/forkingforker/WhatsAPI-issues-milestones-...

    That fork only has a PHP implementation. The other fork I found, for instance, has Python implementation: https://github.com/abdosumsam/WhatsAPI https://github.com/abdosumsam/WhatsAPI

  I wonder how these companies issuing takedown requests handle forks.
  • Mahn 11y ago
    I guess they don't, unless a particular fork becomes popular enough to stand on its own.

    Github iirc will, if they have to take down the parent repo, take down all (automatically) forked ones
    • tjbiddle 11y ago
      This wasn't a DMCA complaint (Or whatever equivalent - if that's not correct) sent to Github though, this was sent directly to the author of the original repository. But point still stands - even if Github took it down, there are forks out there - the code will always exist.

  I feel the potential for an internet movement to just fork the forked repos just to send WhatsApp a big middle finger.
• TheLoneWolfling 11y ago
  Also, see https://github.com/venomous0x/WhatsAPI/tree/16a6349a1fbc9e9ad8770bbafbea2a34746326dd https://github.com/venomous0x/WhatsAPI/tree/16a6349a1fbc9e9a... He didn't actually even wipe the history.
  • bluehawk 11y ago
    I assume he plans to completely wipe the repository after a short time of this notice being public.
