title: Is it possible to scrape all text messages from Whatsapp Web with Scrapy?
body: <p>I've been experimenting with web scraping using Scrapy, and I was interested in retrieving all text messages from all chats on Whatsapp to use as training data for a Machine Learning project. I know there are websites that block web crawlers/scrapers, so I would like to know if it is possible to use Scrapy to obtain these messages, and if it isn't possible, what are some alternatives I can use?
  I understand that I can click on the "Email chat" option for each chat, but this might not be feasible if I want to obtain a large amount of data, not just from my own chats, but from other people who are willing to let me use their chats for the project. </p>
