Start Session

Start a WhatsApp session.

Usage

The Session facade's start method may be used to start a WhatsApp session. By default, it starts the default session. You can also specify a session name to start a specific session.

Default Session

use NjoguAmos\Waha\Facades\Session;

/** @var \Saloon\Http\Response $session */
$session = Session::start();

Specific Session

use NjoguAmos\Waha\Facades\Session;

/** @var \Saloon\Http\Response $session */
$session = Session::start(session: 'custom-session');

INFO

If you're trying to start an already running session, it'll return its current state and won't do anything else.

Response

The response returned by the start method is an instance of Saloon\Http\Response. You may use the json method to retrieve the response as an array:

Saloon Response

/** @var \Saloon\Http\Response $session */

$session->status(); // 201
$session->json();   // ["name" => "default", "status" => "STARTING", ...]
