How to initialize an object#

restApi = API.RestApi(ID_INSTANCE, API_TOKEN_INSTANCE)

Please note that keys can be obtained from environment variables:

from os import environ

ID_INSTANCE = environ['ID_INSTANCE']
API_TOKEN_INSTANCE = environ['API_TOKEN_INSTANCE']

How to create a group and send a message to it#

chatIds = [
    "11001234567@c.us"
]
resultCreate = restApi.groups.createGroup('GroupName', 
    chatIds)

if resultCreate.code == 200:
    resultSend = restApi.sending.sendMessage(resultCreate.data['chatId'], 
        'Message text')

IMPORTANT: If one tries to create a group with a non-existent number, WhatsApp may block the sender's number. The number in the example is non-existent.
