API Host:

For seamless integration with Whautomate's services, use the appropriate API host based on your geographical location:

Global: https://api.whautomate.com

India: https://api.in.whautomate.com

To determine the correct API host, visit the 'Rest API' section under 'Integrations' in your Whautomate account and copy your host name. Use the relevant hostname for your region when making API calls for optimal performance.

API Key Authentication with x-api-key Header

Authentication is vital when accessing Whautomate's APIs to ensure secure and authorized interactions. To authenticate your API requests, Whautomate utilizes API keys. These keys act as unique identifiers, granting access to the platform's functionalities.

Follow these steps to authenticate using your generated API key:

Generating the API Key: Access your Whautomate account and navigate to the Integrations-> REST API settings to generate an API key. This key serves as your credential for API authentication.

Adding API Key to the Header: When making API requests, include the API key in the header of your HTTP requests. Specifically, append the API key to the x-api-key header parameter.

Example:

curl -X GET 'https://api.whautomate.com/some_endpoint' -H 'x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY'

Rate Limits

At Whautomate, we prioritize fairness, stability, and security in our platform. That's why we implement rate limits on our API for every account. These limits ensure fair usage for all users and protect against system abuse.

Why do we have Rate Limits?

To ensure fairness: Rate limits make sure that everyone using our platform has an equal chance to access its resources, preventing any one user from taking over.

For system stability: By managing the flow of traffic, rate limits keep our system running smoothly, reducing the chances of it crashing or slowing down.

To enhance security: Rate limits act as a shield against malicious attacks, like DDoS, by putting a cap on how many requests can be made, preventing any one user from overwhelming the system.

For enterprise customers needing higher limits, contact us for assistance. Additional pricing may apply.

Type of Account	Requests per minute (RPM)	Requests per day (RPD)

Subscribed Account	300	432,000
