About this API
This API is used to send the location message to the end user.
Authentication
Include your API credential in the request header. Keep credentials on the server and never expose them in client-side applications.
apikeyYOUR_WABA_API_KEYPath Parameters
Substitute these placeholders in the endpoint URL before sending the request.
phone_number_idstringRequiredResource identifier for phone number id.Request Body
Send a application/json payload. Replace placeholder values with data from your integration.

}Test with simulated WABA credentials
Use the sample WABA ID and WABA number produced by the Embedded Signup simulation. Sending here never calls the real WhatsApp API.
Code Examples
Select your language and customize the request URL. Credential placeholders are intentionally preserved so secrets never appear in generated samples.
