Whapi.Cloud provides a gateway to interact with customers through WhatsApp. This tutorial will help you learn how to send messages through the WhatsApp API using the Go Programming Language.

Getting Started

After registering on our platform, go to the channel page, which will be immediately available to you.

You will now need to link any number to the channel. To do this, use the QR code that is displayed inside the channel.

Open your WhatsApp mobile app, navigate to Settings -> Linked devices -> Link a device -> Scan QR code

Our service enables you to interact with the API without the need for an uninterrupted phone connection. Operate WhatsApp on up to four paired devices and one mobile device concurrently.

Now save the generated API-Key token on channel page:

How to Send WhatsApp API Message using GO, Example

To send a text message, you need to make a request to:

POST https://gate.whapi.cloud/messages/text

Logo๐Ÿ’ฌ Send text messageWhapi Cloud - Whatsapp API for developers
Test requests and sample code snippets

Here's how you can dispatch a WhatsApp message using Golang:

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
	"net/http"
	"io"
)

func main() {

	url := "https://gate.whapi.cloud/messages/text"

	payload := strings.NewReader("{\"typing_time\":10,\"to\":\"14409416972\",\"body\":\"Hello!\"}")

	req, _ := http.NewRequest("POST", url, payload)

	req.Header.Add("accept", "application/json")
	req.Header.Add("content-type", "application/json")
	req.Header.Add("authorization", "Bearer iNdBBvVS4sbBmwcPwcX1pzBDChVo2bcs")

	res, _ := http.DefaultClient.Do(req)

	defer res.Body.Close()
	body, _ := io.ReadAll(res.Body)

	fmt.Println(string(body))

}

The parameters are as follows:

  • to: The recipientโ€™s WhatsApp number in international format (e.g., 14409416972) or chatID for contact or group (e.g 14409416972@s.whatsapp.net or 12560234567890@g.us).

  • body: The content of the message.

  • typing_time: The time in seconds when it is displayed that you are typing a message. Not a required parameter.
