WasenderApi - Low Cost WhatsApp API for Developers

In today's digital landscape, effective communication with customers is paramount for business success. We're excited to announce a major update to our Wasender API, bringing advanced WhatsApp integration capabilities to your applications and services. Whether you're building a customer support platform, marketing automation tool, or community management system, our enhanced API provides the tools you need to leverage WhatsApp's massive user base effectively.

What's New in Wasender API?

Our latest update introduces comprehensive endpoints for managing WhatsApp groups, contacts, webhooks, and sessions. Let's explore these exciting new features:

1. Enhanced Group Management

Managing WhatsApp groups has never been easier with our dedicated group endpoints:

Group Metadata Access

Retrieve detailed information about any WhatsApp group with a simple API call:

GET /api/groups/{groupJid}/metadata

This returns comprehensive data including the group's subject, description, creation date, owner information, and a complete list of participants with their admin status.

Participant Management

Our API now allows you to:

List all participants in a group: GET /api/groups/{groupJid}/participants
Add new participants: POST /api/groups/{groupJid}/participants/add
Remove participants: POST /api/groups/{groupJid}/participants/remove

Each operation returns detailed status information per participant, helping you track the success of bulk operations.

Group Settings Control

Take full control of your WhatsApp groups with our settings update endpoint:

PUT /api/groups/{groupJid}/settings

This powerful endpoint allows you to modify:

Group subject and description
Announcement mode (restrict messaging to admins only)
Edit restrictions (limit who can edit group information)

All these operations require admin privileges, ensuring proper access control for your application.

2. Comprehensive Contact Management

Stay connected with your contacts using these specialized endpoints:

Contact Information

List all contacts: GET /api/contacts - Retrieve a complete list of contacts synced with your WhatsApp session
Get specific contact details: GET /api/contacts/{contactPhoneNumber} - Access detailed information about any contact
Retrieve profile pictures: GET /api/contacts/{contactPhoneNumber}/picture - Get the URL of any contact's profile picture

Contact Relationship Management

Manage your relationship with contacts by:

Blocking unwanted contacts: POST /api/contacts/{contactPhoneNumber}/block
Unblocking contacts: POST /api/contacts/{contactPhoneNumber}/unblock

These endpoints provide simple yet powerful contact management capabilities for your applications.

3. Real-time Updates via Webhooks

Stay informed about WhatsApp events in real-time with our comprehensive webhook system. Our updated API supports the following event notifications:

Chat Events: Track when chats are created, updated, or deleted
Group Events: Monitor group creation, metadata updates, and settings changes
Participant Events: Get notified when participants join, leave, or change roles within groups
Contact Events: Receive updates when contacts are added or modified

Each webhook delivers structured data about the specific event, allowing your application to react appropriately to changes in the WhatsApp ecosystem.

4. Flexible WhatsApp Session Management

Our completely redesigned session management system gives you full control over your WhatsApp connections:

Session Lifecycle Management

Create new sessions: POST /whatsapp-sessions
View session details: GET /whatsapp-sessions/{whatsappSession}
Update session settings: PUT /whatsapp-sessions/{whatsappSession}
Delete sessions: DELETE /whatsapp-sessions/{whatsappSession}

Connection Control

Connect to WhatsApp: POST /whatsapp-sessions/{whatsappSession}/connect
Generate QR codes: GET /whatsapp-sessions/{whatsappSession}/qrcode
Disconnect sessions: POST /whatsapp-sessions/{whatsappSession}/disconnect
Regenerate API keys: POST /whatsapp-sessions/{whatsappSession}/regenerate-key

Each session can be configured with:

Custom name and phone number
Account protection features
Message logging options
Webhook URL and event subscriptions

Implementation Examples

$api->put("/api/groups/[email protected]/settings", [
    'description' => 'Official support group for product X. Our team is available Mon-Fri, 9AM-5PM.'
]);

Setting Up Session Programmatically

    'account_protection' => true,
    'log_messages' => true,
    'webhook_url' => 'https://myapp.com/whatsapp-events',
