  4. Verify: Check against the method index

For SDK Users

  1. Download SKILL.md and references/ folder
  2. Paste into AI agent context (Claude, Cursor, etc.)
  3. Request code with reference to SKILL.md
  4. Get working code that compiles and runs first time

🚀 5 Common Scenarios Included

1. Sending Text Message

// Fully working code in SKILL.md "Scenario 1"
nlohmann::json msg = {{"chatId", "79876543210@c.us"}, {"message", "Hello"}};
Response resp = client.sending.sendMessage(msg);

2. Receiving Messages (Polling)

// Complete polling loop in SKILL.md "Scenario 2"
while (true) {
    Response notif = client.receiving.receiveNotification(5);
    // Process notification...
}

3. Sending File by URL

// File attachment example in references/sending.md
nlohmann::json fileMsg = {
    {"chatId", "79876543210@c.us"},
    {"urlFile", "https://example.com/image.jpg"}
};
client.sending.sendFileByUrl(fileMsg);

4. Creating & Managing Groups

// Group creation example in references/groups.md
nlohmann::json group = {
    {"groupName", "My Team"},
    {"participants", {"79876543210@c.us", "79876543211@c.us"}}
};
Response resp = client.groups.createGroup(group);

5. Webhook-Based Incoming Messages

// Webhook setup in SKILL.md "Scenario 5"
nlohmann::json settings = {
    {"webhookUrl", "https://your-server.com/webhook"}
};
client.account.setSettings(settings);

⚠️ Critical Knowledge

Phone Number Formats

  • Personal: 79876543210@c.us (must include @c.us)
  • Group: 79876543210-1581234048@g.us (must include @g.us)
  • Wrong format → silent failure!

Rate Limits

  • Send delay: 900ms minimum (configurable)
  • Group creation: 1 per 5 minutes max
  • Exceeding → 429 error or queued

Before Using Any Method

// Always verify authorization first
Response auth = client.account.getStateInstance();
if (auth.body["stateInstance"] != "authorized") {
    // Trigger QR or phone auth
}

Response Handling

Response resp = client.sending.sendMessage(msg);
if (resp.success) {
    // Safe to access resp.body
} else {
    // HTTP error: check resp.statusCode
}

🔍 How AI Agents Should Use This

When Asked to Write Code:

  1. Read SKILL.md section matching the task
  2. Find template in "Common Scenarios"
  3. Check references/*.md for specific method details
  4. Generate code based on template
  5. Add error handling from error codes guide
  6. Verify method names match quick index

Example Agent Flow:

User: "Send a text message to +79876543210"
  ↓
Agent reads SKILL.md "Scenario 1: Sending Text Message"
  ↓
Agent generates code with proper error handling
  ↓
Agent verifies:
  - Method name: sendMessage ✓
  - Chat ID format: 79876543210@c.us ✓
  - Auth check: included ✓
  - Error handling: present ✓
  ↓
Agent outputs working code

🛠️ Testing Generated Code

# 1. Export credentials
export GREEN_API_ID="your_instance_id"
export GREEN_API_TOKEN="your_token"

# 2. Compile (in repo root after cmake build)
g++ -std=c++17 -o test_msg your_code.cpp -L./build -lgreenapi -I./include

# 3. Run
./test_msg

# 4. Verify:
# - No compilation errors
# - No crashes
# - Message sent (check console & WhatsApp)

🚨 Common Pitfalls (See SKILL.md)

  1. ❌ Wrong chat ID format → ✅ Always use @c.us or @g.us
  2. ❌ Ignore auth status → ✅ Check getStateInstance() first
  3. ❌ Don't check response.success → ✅ Always verify before accessing body
  4. ❌ Hardcode credentials → ✅ Use environment variables
  5. ❌ Ignore rate limits → ✅ Respect delays and group creation limits

🔄 Skill Maintenance

When SDK updates:

  1. Run: bash /tmp/verify_methods.sh
  2. If new methods: Add to appropriate reference
  3. If removed: Remove from docs
  4. Re-verify and update statistics

📞 Support

If AI-generated code doesn't work:

  1. ✓ Check method name in SKILL.md index
  2. ✓ Verify chat ID format (@c.us or @g.us)
  3. ✓ Confirm instance is authorized
  4. ✓ Check rate limits (delays, group creation)
  5. ✓ Review error code in official docs
  6. ✓ Read error handling section in SKILL.md
