## API
You can find REST API documentation by [url](https://en-cabinet.basis-api.com/docs/en/api/). The library is a wrapper for REST API, so the documentation at the above url applies to the library as well.

```shell
pip install ba-whatsapp-api-client-python
```
## Import
```
from ba_whatsapp_api_client_python import API
```
## Authorization
To send a message or to exacute some other Basis API method, you have to have the WhatsApp account in the phone application to be authorized. To authorize your account please go to the [personal area](https://en-cabinet.basis-api.com) and scan a QR-code using the WhatsApp application.
## Examples
### How to initialize an object
```python
basisAPI = API.BasisApi(ID_INSTANCE, API_TOKEN_INSTANCE)
```
### Sending a text message to a WhatsApp number
```python
result = basisAPI.sending.sendMessage('79001234567@g.us', 'Message text')
```
Example url: [sendTextMessage.py](https://github.com/Yard-Team/whatsapp-api-client-python/blob/master/examples/sendTextMessage.py)
Please note that keys can be obtained from environment variables:
```python
from os import environ
ID_INSTANCE = environ['ID_INSTANCE']
API_TOKEN_INSTANCE = environ['API_TOKEN_INSTANCE']
```
### Sending an image via URL
```python
result = basisAPI.sending.sendFileByUrl('120363025955348359@g.us',
'https://www.google.ru/images/branding/googlelogo/1x/googlelogo_color_272x92dp.png',
'googlelogo_color_272x92dp.png', 'Google logo')
```
Example url: [sendPictureByLink.py](https://github.com/Yard-Team/whatsapp-api-client-python/blob/master/examples/sendPictureByLink.py)
### Sending an image by uploading from the disk
```python
result = basisAPI.sending.sendFileByUpload('120363025955348359@g.us',
'C:\Games\PicFromDisk.png',
'PicFromDisk.png', 'Picture from disk')
```
Example url: [sendPictureByUpload.py](https://github.com/Yard-Team/whatsapp-api-client-python/blob/master/examples/sendPictureByUpload.py)
### Group creation and sending a message to the group
```python
chatIds = [
"79001234567@c.us"
]
resultCreate = basisAPI.groups.createGroup('GroupName',
chatIds)
if resultCreate.code == 200:
resultSend = basisAPI.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.
Example url: [createGroupAndSendMessage.py](https://github.com/Yard-Team/whatsapp-api-client-python/blob/master/examples/createGroupAndSendMessage.py)
### Receive incoming messages by HTTP API
The general concept of receiving data in the Basis API is described [here](https://en-cabinet.basis-api.com/docs/en/api/receiving/)
To start receiving messages by the HTTP API you need to execute the library method:
```python
basisAPI.webhooks.startReceivingNotifications(onEvent)
```
onEvent - your method which should contain parameters:
Parameter | Description
----- | -----
typewebhook | received message type (string)
body | message body (json)
Message body types and formats [here](https://en-cabinet.basis-api.com/docs/en/api/receiving/notifications-format/)
This method will be called when an incoming message is received. Next, process messages according to the business logic of your system.
