How to setup Single Instance of WhatsApp Business API Client

Question

I had cloned these file as per facebook instructions

And then Step 1: Create a biz Directory for the Setup Scripts

mkdir ~/biz; cd ~/biz;

Step 2: Get the WhatsApp Business API Client Configuration Files

   db.env

docker-compose.yml

multiconnect-compose.yml

Step 3: Set the WA_API_VERSION Environment Variable

export WA_API_VERSION=2.31.5

Step 4: Start the WhatsApp Business API Client

docker-compose up -d

The resulting output should look like the following:

Recreating whatsbusinessapi_db_1 ... done
Creating whatsbusinessapi_wacore_1 ... done
Creating whatsbusinessapi_waweb_1  ... done

Step 5: Verify Containers Are Running

docker-compose ps

output :

          Name                         Command               State                     Ports                   
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
whatsbusinessapi_db_1       docker-entrypoint.sh -p 54 ...   Up      5000/tcp, 5432/tcp, 0.0.0.0:5000->6000/tcp
whatsbusinessapi_wacore_1   /opt/whatsapp/bin/wait_on_ ...   Up      6250/tcp, 6251/tcp, 6252/tcp, 6253/tcp    
whatsbusinessapi_waweb_1    /opt/whatsapp/bin/wait_on_ ...   Up      0.0.0.0:9090->443/tcp

By default, the Webapp container will be running on port 9090 (https://localhost:9090) as per facebook but when i tried https://localhost:9090

So anyone have idea please.

Answer 1

The WhatsApp Web Business Tool is deprecated since v2.29.1 You can only interact with your instance via REST API. You can leverage our Postman collection for this https://github.com/fbsamples/WhatsApp-Business-API-Postman-Collection

Sounds like you are ready to proceed with Step 6
