Basic Usages

Login

import { Zalo } from "zca-js";

const zalo = new Zalo(
    {
        cookies: "your_cookies_here",
        imei: "your_imei_here",
        userAgent: "your_user_agent_here",
    },
    {
        selfListen: true,
    },
);

const api = await zalo.login();

Alternative: We also support J2TEAM Cookies extension:

import { Zalo } from "zca-js";

const zalo = new Zalo(
    {
        cookies: JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync("./cookies.json", "utf-8")),
        imei: "your_imei_here",
        userAgent: "your_user_agent_here",
    },
    {
        selfListen: true,
    },
);

const api = await zalo.login();

cookies: Your Zalo cookies. You can get it by using J2TEAM Cookies extension or by using browser developer tools.
imei: Your IMEI created by Zalo. You can get it using browser developer tools: localStorage.getItem('z_uuid').
userAgent: Your browser user agent. Better be from the same browser you get cookies.
selfListen: Listen for messages sent by yourself. Default is false.

Listen for new messages

import { Zalo, MessageType } from "zca-js";

const zalo = new Zalo(credentials);
const api = await zalo.login();

api.listener.on("message", (message) => {
    const isPlainText = typeof message.data.content === "string";

    switch (message.type) {
        case MessageType.DirectMessage: {
            if (isPlainText) {
                // received plain text direct message
            }
            break;
        }
        case MessageType.GroupMessage: {
            if (isPlainText) {
                // received plain text group message
            }
            break;
        }
    }
});

api.listener.start();

Note: Only one web listener can be started at a time. If you open Zalo in the browser while the listener is running, the listener will be stopped.

import { Zalo, MessageType } from "zca-js";

const zalo = new Zalo(credentials);
const api = await zalo.login();

// Echo bot
api.listener.on("message", (message) => {
    const isPlainText = typeof message.data.content === "string";
    if (message.isSelf || !isPlainText) return;

    switch (message.type) {
        case MessageType.DirectMessage: {
            api.sendMessage(
                "echo: " + message.data.content,
                message.threadId,
                message.type, // MessageType.DirectMessage
                message, // the message object to reply to (optional)
            );
            break;
        }
        case MessageType.GroupMessage: {
            api.sendMessage(
                "echo: " + message.data.content,
                message.threadId,
                message.type, // MessageType.GroupMessage
                message, // the message object to reply to (optional)
