calls
Read when: listing WhatsApp call events captured by sync.
wacli calls reads call metadata from the local store. It does not place, accept, or reject calls.
#Commands
wacli calls list [--chat JID] [--asc] [--limit N] [--after DATE] [--before DATE]
#Data Model
- Live WhatsApp call signaling events are stored separately from normal messages.
- Historical WhatsApp call-log messages are stored as normal message rows and as structured
call_eventsrows. - JSON output includes
chat_jid,call_id,event_type,direction,media,outcome,duration_secs,timestamp, and participant metadata when WhatsApp provides it. - Time filters accept RFC3339 or
YYYY-MM-DD.
#Examples
wacli calls list --limit 20
