This guide explains how to authenticate API requests using a Bearer Token, generated after connecting your WhatsApp session through the Session Management screen.
Authentication
All WasenderAPI endpoints are secured and require authentication via an API Key. This API key is automatically generated when you create or restore a session from the Session Management screen.
Obtaining Your API Key
Once your WhatsApp session is connected, a unique API Key will be available. This API Key must be included in the Authorization header for every API request.
Authorization Header Format
Authorization: Bearer token YOUR_SESSION_API_KEYReplace YOUR_SESSION_API_KEY with the API key you received from the session screen.
ℹ️ API Keys are tied to a specific session. If the session is deleted, the key becomes invalid.
Keep your API Key private. Avoid exposing it in public repositories or frontend code.
