How to Send a WhatsApp API with Java

Introduction

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

Initially, you must make sure that the okhttp3  library is ready Because we will use this library In this article to send messages to the Ultramsg Gateway.

First WhatsApp API Message Using Java

package com.mycompany.mavenproject1;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.URLEncoder;
import java.nio.charset.StandardCharsets;
import okhttp3.MediaType;
import okhttp3.OkHttpClient;
import okhttp3.Request;
import okhttp3.RequestBody;
import okhttp3.Response;

/**
 *
 * @author Ultramsg team
 */
public class newJavaFile {

    /**
     * @param args the command line arguments
     */
    public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException {
  //////////////////////////////////////
OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient();
MediaType mediaType = MediaType.parse("application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
RequestBody body = RequestBody.create(mediaType, "token=JATafg4422g0K54&to=14155552671&body=WhatsApp API on UltraMsg.com works good&priority=10&referenceId=");
Request request = new Request.Builder()
  .url("https://api.ultramsg.com/instance19/messages/chat")
  .post(body)
  .addHeader("content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded")
  .build();
Response response = client.newCall(request).execute();
//////////////////////////////////////
     System.out.println("===================");
     System.out.println(response.body().string());
    }
}

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

{"sent":"true","message":"ok","id":43007}

Request request = new Request.Builder()
  .url("https://api.ultramsg.com/instance19/messages/image")
