🚀 Quick Start

1. Set Environment Variables

{
  env: {
    EVOGO_API_URL: "http://localhost:8080",        // Your API URL
    EVOGO_GLOBAL_KEY: "your-global-admin-key",     // Admin key (instance mgmt)
    EVOGO_INSTANCE: "my-bot",                      // Instance name
    EVOGO_API_KEY: "your-instance-token"           // Instance token (messaging)
  }
}

2. Create Instance & Connect

# Create instance
curl -X POST "$EVOGO_API_URL/instance/create" \
  -H "apikey: $EVOGO_GLOBAL_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "my-bot",
    "token": "my-secret-token",
    "qrcode": true
  }'

# Connect & get QR code
curl -X POST "$EVOGO_API_URL/instance/connect" \
  -H "apikey: $EVOGO_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"number": ""}'

Scan the QR code returned in qrcode.base64.

3. Send First Message

curl -X POST "$EVOGO_API_URL/send/text" \
  -H "apikey: $EVOGO_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \

    ]
  }'

⚠️ Rate Limits & Best Practices

Delays

Always add delays between messages:

{"delay": 2000}  // 2 seconds

Recommended:

  • 1-2 seconds between individual messages
  • 3-5 seconds between mass sends
  • Exponential backoff on errors

Error Handling

HTTP Status Codes:

  • 200 - Success
  • 400 - Bad request (check parameters)
  • 401 - Unauthorized (check API key)
  • 404 - Not found (instance/resource doesn't exist)
  • 500 - Server error

Common Issues:

Error Solution
Instance not connected Run POST /instance/connect
Invalid phone format Use international without +: 5511999999999
Message not sent Check GET /instance/status
Group operation failed Verify you're admin (for admin operations)

🔗 Webhooks

Configure webhooks to receive real-time events:

  • Message received
  • Message sent
  • Connection status
  • Group updates
  • Calls received
  • And more...

Use POST /webhook/set endpoint to configure webhook URL (see Postman collection for details).

🧪 Troubleshooting

Instance Won't Connect

# 1. Check if instance exists
GET /instance/all

# 2. Force reconnect
POST /instance/forcereconnect/{instance}

# 3. Check logs
GET /instance/logs/{instance}?level=error

Messages Not Sending

  1. Verify connection: GET /instance/status
  2. Check phone format (no + or spaces)
  3. Ensure recipient has WhatsApp
  4. Verify API key is correct

Group Operations Failing

  1. Check you're admin (for admin operations)
  2. Verify group JID format: xxxxx@g.us
  3. Ensure participants use format: number@s.whatsapp.net

📚 Resources

🆕 Known Limitations

Not Working (v3.0):

  • /send/button - Interactive buttons (deprecated by WhatsApp)
  • /send/list - Interactive lists (deprecated by WhatsApp)

These endpoints exist but are non-functional due to WhatsApp API changes.

💡 Tips

  1. Always check status before operations
  2. Use delays to avoid rate limits (1-2s minimum)
  3. Store tokens securely in environment variables
  4. Handle disconnects with automatic reconnection
  5. Validate numbers before sending
  6. Use webhooks for real-time event handling
  7. Monitor logs for troubleshooting
  8. Test with small groups before mass operations
