Examples#

How to initialize an object#

You can configure your bean, use application.yml, or instantiate an object via the constructor.

Via configuration:

@Configuration
public class GreenApiConf {

    @Bean
    public RestTemplate restTemplate() {
        return new RestTemplateBuilder().build();
    }

    @Bean
    public GreenApi greenApi(RestTemplate restTemplate) {
        return new GreenApi(
            restTemplate,
            "https://media.greenapi.com",
            "https://api.greenapi.com",
            "{{YOUR-ID}}",
            "{{YOUR-TOKEN}}");
    }
}

Via application.yml:

To use a ready-made bean that is created based on application.yml parameters, specify the parameters of your instance in the application.yml file as follows:

green-api:
   host: https://api.green-api.com
   hostMedia: https://media.green-api.com
   instanceId: {{yourInstance}}
   token: {{yourToken}}

Make sure you have a RestTemplate bean with your configuration, like this:

@Bean
public RestTemplate restTemplate(RestTemplateBuilder restTemplateBuilder){
    return restTemplateBuilder.build();
    }

And add "com.greenapi.client" to the base scanning packages using the @ComponentScan annotation:

@SpringBootApplication
@ComponentScan(basePackages = {"com.greenapi.client", "com.example"})
public class Application {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        var context = SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
    }
}

Via constructor:

var restTemplate = new RestTemplateBuilder().build();

var greenApi1 = new GreenApi(
    restTemplate,
    "https://media.green-api.com",
    "https://api.green-api.com",
    {{instanceId1}},
    {{instanceToken1}});

var greenApi2 = new GreenApi(
    restTemplate,
    "https://media.greenapi.com",
    "https://api.greenapi.com",
    {{instanceId2}},
    {{instanceToken2}});

How to send a file by UploadFile + SendFileByUrl#

Link to example: UploadFileAndSendByUrlExample.java.

@Log4j2
public class UploadFileAndSendByUrlExample {

    private void uploadExample(GreenApi greenApi) throws IOException {
        var file = new File("User/username/folder/Go-Logo_Blue.svg");

        var response = greenApi.sending.uploadFile(file);
        if (response.getStatusCode().isError()) {
            log.error("upload file failed");
        }

        var responseEntity = greenApi.sending.sendFileByUrl(
            OutgoingFileByUrl.builder()
                .urlFile(Objects.requireNonNull(response.getBody()).getUrlFile())
                .build());

        log.info("file sent, message id: " + Objects.requireNonNull(responseEntity.getBody()).getIdMessage());
    }
}
