# Introduction

## Welcome to wa-application-api

This API deals with a chatting platform based on WhatsApp. The user can send and receive text and media messages through WhatsApp in private chats with the endpoints that are created for the user. Moreover, the current status and the screen of the session can be retrieved using these endpoints.

This is a web based API, therefore is only required to send HTTPS requests in order to communicate with the API, making it very easy to use and integrate with any third-party software, programming language, CMS, CRM or CLI tools.
