Please follow the original instruction <a href="https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">how to install docker -></a>. When you are ready - come back and follows the below steps to send the first text message to WhatsApp via HTTP API! ## Send your first message Let's go over steps that allow you to send your first text message via WhatsApp HTTP API! ### 1. Download image Assuming you have installed [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/), let's download the image. ```bash docker pull devlikeapro/waha ``` ```bash docker login -u devlikeapro -p {KEY} docker pull devlikeapro/waha-plus docker logout ``` Read more about how to get `PASSWORD` for [**➕ WAHA Plus**](https://waha.devlike.pro/docs/how-to/waha-plus/) ### 2. Run WhatsApp HTTP API Run WhatsApp HTTP API: ```bash docker run -it --rm -p 3000:3000/tcp --name waha devlikeapro/waha # It prints logs and the last line must be # WhatsApp HTTP API is running on: http://[::1]:3000 ``` Open the link in your browser [http://localhost:3000/](http://localhost:3000/) and you'll see API documentation (Swagger). ### 3. Start a new session To start a new session you should have your mobile phone with installed WhatsApp application close to you. Please go and read how what we'll need to a bit later: <a href="https://faq.whatsapp.com/381777293328336/?helpref=hc_fnav" target="_blank"> How to log in - the instruction on WhatsApp site </a> When your ready - find `POST /api/sessions`, click on **Try it out**, then **Execute** a bit below. The example payload: ```json { "name": "default" } ``` By using the request with `name` values you can start multiple session (WhatsApp accounts) inside the single docker container in Plus ### 4. Get and scan QR Find `GET /api/screenshot` and execute it, it shows you QR code. **Scan the QR with your cell phone's WhatsApp app.** ### 5. Get the screenshot Execute `GET /api/screenshot` after a few seconds after scanning the QR - it'll show you the screenshot of you Whatsapp instance. If you can get the actual screenshot - then you're ready to start sending messages! ### 6. Send a text message Let's send a text message - find `POST /api/sendText` in [swagger](http://localhost:3000/) and change `chatId` this way: use a phone international phone number without `+` symbol and add `@c.us` at the end. For phone number `12132132131` the `chatId` is `[email protected]`. The example payload: ```json { "chatId": "[email protected]", "text": "Hi there!", "session": "default" } ``` Also, you can use `curl` and send POST request like this: ```bash # Phone without + export PHONE=12132132130 curl -d "{\"chatId\": \"${PHONE}@c.us\", \"text\": \"Hello from WhatsApp HTTP API\" }" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/sendText ``` ## What is next?
