### Getting Your API Key:

1. Check your `.env` file:
   ```bash
   cat .env | grep API_KEY
  1. Or via API (if running):
# API key is set during installation# Check documentation or contact administrator

Disabling Authentication:

To disable API key authentication:

  1. Edit .env file:
API_KEY=
  1. Restart the application

⚠️ Security Warning: Only disable authentication in trusted environments!

🔔 Webhooks

Status: 🚧 Coming in v1.1

Webhooks will allow you to receive real-time notifications when:

  • Message is delivered
  • Message is read
  • Reply received
  • Connection status changes

Planned Webhook Events:

{
  "event": "message.delivered",
  "data": {
    "message_id": "3EB0XXX",
    "phone": "6281234567890",
    "status": "delivered",
    "timestamp": "2025-10-20T19:30:00Z"
  }
}

✅ Best Practices

1. Error Handling

Always check response status and handle errors:

response = requests.post(url, json=data, headers=headers)

if response.status_code == 200:
    result = response.json()
    if result['status'] == 'success':
        print('Message sent!')
    else:
        print(f"Error: {result['message']}")
else:
    print(f"HTTP Error: {response.status_code}")

2. Connection Check

Check bot status before sending messages:

def is_bot_ready():
    response = requests.get(
        f"{API_URL}/api/status",
        headers={"X-API-Key": API_KEY}
    )
    data = response.json()
    return data['data']['connected']

if is_bot_ready():
    send_message(phone, message)
else:
    print("Bot not connected!")

3. Rate Limiting

Implement rate limiting in your application:

import time

def send_bulk_messages(recipients, message):
    for phone in recipients:
        send_message(phone, message)
        time.sleep(1)  # Wait 1 second between messages

4. Retry Logic

Implement retry for failed requests:

import time

def send_with_retry(phone, message, max_retries=3):
    for attempt in range(max_retries):
        try:
            response = send_message(phone, message)
            if response['status'] == 'success':
                return response
        except Exception as e:
            if attempt < max_retries - 1:
                time.sleep(2 ** attempt)  # Exponential backoff
            else:
                raise

5. File Size Optimization

Compress files before sending:

from PIL import Image

def compress_image(input_path, output_path, quality=85):
    img = Image.open(input_path)
    img.save(output_path, optimize=True, quality=quality)

6. Phone Number Validation

Validate phone numbers before sending:

import re

def validate_phone(phone):
    # Remove non-digits
    cleaned = re.sub(r'\D', '', phone)
    
    # Check length
    if len(cleaned) < 10 or len(cleaned) > 15:
        return False
    
    # Format
    if cleaned.startswith('0'):
        cleaned = '62' + cleaned[1:]
    elif not cleaned.startswith('62'):
        cleaned = '62' + cleaned
    
    return cleaned

7. Logging

Log all API interactions:

import logging

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

def send_message_with_log(phone, message):
    logger.info(f"Sending message to {phone}")
    try:
        response = send_message(phone, message)
        logger.info(f"Message sent successfully: {response['data']['message_id']}")
        return response
    except Exception as e:
        logger.error(f"Failed to send message: {str(e)}")
        raise

8. Security

  • ✅ Always use HTTPS in production
  • ✅ Keep API key secret
  • ✅ Use environment variables
  • ✅ Rotate API keys regularly
  • ✅ Implement IP whitelisting if possible

🔧 Troubleshooting

Common Issues & Solutions

1. 401 Unauthorized

Problem: API returns 401 error

Solutions:

# Check API key
cat .env | grep API_KEY

# Test with correct key
curl http://localhost:5000/api/status \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_ACTUAL_KEY"

# Disable auth (testing only)
# Set API_KEY= in .env

2. 503 Bot Not Connected

Problem: API returns "Bot not connected"

Solutions:

# Check status
curl http://localhost:5000/api/status

# Restart app and scan QR
pkill whatsapp-gateway
./whatsapp-gateway

# Check logs
tail -f logs/bot.log

3. Invalid Phone Number

Problem: Phone number format rejected

Solutions:

# Correct formats:
"6281234567890"   # ✅ With country code
"081234567890"    # ✅ Will auto-add 62
"+6281234567890"  # ✅ With plus (auto-cleaned)

# Wrong formats:
"81234567890"     # ❌ Missing leading 0 or 62
"1234567"         # ❌ Too short

4. File Upload Fails

Problem: File upload returns error

Solutions:

# Check file size
ls -lh yourfile.jpg

# Compress if needed
convert input.jpg -quality 85 output.jpg

# Check file format
file yourfile.jpg

# Increase upload limit in .env
MAX_FILE_SIZE=200  # MB

5. Connection Timeout

Problem: Request times out

Solutions:

# Set timeout in requests
response = requests.post(
    url,
    json=data,
    headers=headers,
    timeout=30  # 30 seconds
)

# Check server status
curl http://localhost:5000/health

# Check firewall
sudo ufw status

6. Message Not Delivered

Problem: API returns success but message not received

Checklist:

  • ✅ Check phone number format
  • ✅ Verify recipient has WhatsApp
  • ✅ Check recipient hasn't blocked bot
  • ✅ Verify bot is connected
  • ✅ Check network connection

7. Special Characters Issue

Problem: Special characters not displayed correctly

Solution:

# Use UTF-8 encoding
import json

data = {
    "phone": "6281234567890",
    "message": "Hello 你好 مرحبا 🎉"
}

response = requests.post(
    url,
    data=json.dumps(data, ensure_ascii=False),
    headers={
        "Content-Type": "application/json; charset=utf-8",
        "X-API-Key": API_KEY
    }
)

🔒 Security Recommendations

  1. Use HTTPS in Production
# Setup nginx with SSL
# See DEPLOYMENT.md
  1. Rotate API Keys Regularly
# Generate new key
openssl rand -hex 32

# Update .env
API_KEY=new-key-here
  1. IP Whitelisting
# In firewall
sudo ufw allow from 192.168.1.100 to any port 5000
  1. Rate Limiting
# In .env
RATE_LIMIT_ENABLED=true
RATE_LIMIT_MAX=100
  1. Monitor Logs
tail -f logs/bot.log | grep ERROR
