Evolution API Evolution API began as a WhatsApp controller API based on CodeChat, which in turn implemented the Baileys library. While originally focused on WhatsApp, Evolution API has grown into a comprehensive platform supporting multiple messaging services and integrations. We continue to acknowledge CodeChat for laying the groundwork. Today, Evolution API is not limited to WhatsApp. It integrates with various platforms such as Typebot, Chatwoot, Dify, and OpenAI, offering a broad array of functionalities beyond messaging. Evolution API supports both the Baileys-based WhatsApp API and the official WhatsApp Business API, with upcoming support for Instagram and Messenger.

Evolution Api

WhatsApp-Api-NodeJs

This project is based on the CodeChat. The original project is an implementation of Baileys, serving as a Restful API service that controls WhatsApp functions.
The code allows the creation of multiservice chats, service bots, or any other system that utilizes WhatsApp. The documentation provides instructions on how to set up and use the project, as well as additional information about its features and configuration options.

Infrastructure

Nvm installation

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.3/install.sh | bash
# or
wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.3/install.sh | bash

After finishing, restart the terminal to load the new information.

Docker installation [optional]

curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh

sudo sh get-docker.sh

sudo usermod -aG docker ${USER}

Nodejs installation

nvm install 16.17.0

pm2 installation

npm i -g pm2
docker --version

node --version

MongoDb [optional]

After installing docker and docker-compose, up the container.

In the same directory where the file is located, run the following command:

bash docker.sh

Using the database is optional.

Application startup

Cloning the Repository

git clone https://github.com/code-chat-br/whatsapp-api.git

Go to the project directory and install all dependencies.

cd whatsapp-api

npm i

Finally, run the command below to start the application:

# Under development
npm run start

# In production
npm run start:prod

# pm2
pm2 start 'npm run start:prod' --name ApiCodechat

Authentication

You can define two authentication types for the routes in the env file. Authentications must be inserted in the request header.

  1. apikey

  2. jwt: A JWT is a standard for authentication and information exchange defined with a signature.

Authentications are generated at instance creation time.

Note: There is also the possibility to define a global api key, which can access and control all instances.
