Introduction to WhatsApp API with Ruby

In this tutorial, we will create simple examples to send messages using WhatsApp API using Ruby.

Initially, you must make sure that the net/http library is ready Because we will use this library In this article to send messages to the Ultramsg Gateway.

First WhatsApp message using Ruby

require 'uri'
require 'net/http'
require 'openssl'

url = URI("https://api.ultramsg.com/instance1316/messages/chat")

http = Net::HTTP.new(url.host, url.port)
http.use_ssl = true
http.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE

request = Net::HTTP::Post.new(url)
request["content-type"] = 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
request.body = "token=5v941eyo9eqixrsi&to=14155552671&body=WhatsApp API on UltraMsg.com works good&priority=10&referenceId="

response = http.request(request)
puts response.read_body
require 'uri'
require 'net/http'
require 'openssl'

url = URI("https://api.ultramsg.com/instance1316/messages/chat")

http = Net::HTTP.new(url.host, url.port)
http.use_ssl = true
http.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE

request = Net::HTTP::Post.new(url)
request["content-type"] = 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
request.body = "token=5v941eyo9eqixrsi&to=14155552671&body=WhatsApp API on UltraMsg.com works good&priority=10&referenceId="

response = http.request(request)
puts response.read_body

When the previous code is executed, and if the message is sent successfully, the response will be like this:

{"sent":"true","message":"ok","id":47}
{"sent":"true","message":"ok","id":47}
