Posts under category Facebook WhatsApp Business API

Is there any Postman collection available for Facebook Graph API and its "children"? (Marketing API and friends.)

I'd definitely ask somewhere on their SDKs Github page, but all of them don't allow to post any "Issues". Also, I've been surfing the web for a while on this.

A great example of what I'm after is WhatsApp's Business API Postman collection, it's publicly available here -> https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/guides/postman/

After proceed with the installation of WhatsApp Business API (developer single instance) in docker on windows 10 Enterprise, I´m facing the following msg error when using https://192.168.43.200:8080/v1/health by postman Error msg: { "meta": { "version": "v2.33.3", "api_status": "stable" }, "errors": [ { "code": 1014, "title": "Internal error", "details": "php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Temporary failure in name resolution. Please check if wacore is running: wacore:6252" } ] }

Looking in log files it´s seems that the core is listening in one port that is different from expected by web

Regards,

I came from a similar state in this question.

My objective is to reply to interested customers via whatsapp messages. I'll use a very special setup, so I'll be using the API.

Reasons:

  • With not to pay anyone other than container hosts
  • Solution with custom API
  • Customer doesn't like any extra costs

Just like user noboundaries, I see the numbers, but I cant get the certificate User Navjot Singh has explained I need to create a "business api account"

I tried just that, put out all my contacts and stuff, in this site. They did respond yes, but only with pointless instructions, since I wish not to contract any messaging providers. I had taken a look at it, but they charge a very expensive price beyond the $0.005 whatsapp will charge. Also, the solution I'm creating requires messages to be sent programatically, and the partners don't seem to provide the correct solution.

So, I wish to skip into using the api. I followed the appropriate guides:

I already got some things done:

  • two phone numbers (one of them for testing) with whatsapp business;
  • company has been verified, with domain
  • have business management account
  • local environment with docker

I can access the local environment and I have set an user account and the admin acount. I can log into those via the API, since postman can ignore certificates, but in order to proceed I really feel like I need that certificate.

So to sim up I guess I need help creating the whatsapp business account for my customer. Any advice? Also i'd appreciate any other helpful insight or feedback. I really feel lost and I don't see a place where I can talk to people trying to do the same thing, or doing this is much of a madness after all?

thanks for getting to read until here, and I apologize for my non natural, almost broken English.
