Send a sticker
POST /v1/messages/sticker — a sticker from a public link.
Notes
- This type takes only
url. - WebP is the format WhatsApp handles most reliably for stickers. Other image formats may arrive as an ordinary image or not render at all.
- Square images work best — stickers are displayed without a background.
Example
Authorizations
Your API key, sent in an apikey request header. Never in the URL, never as a Bearer token.
Body
Which of your connected numbers to send FROM. Copy it from your numbers screen in the portal, or from GET /v1/instances. It must belong to your account.

The recipient, with country code and no leading zero — for example 919876543210. Spaces, dashes, brackets and a leading + are accepted and stripped; 6 to 15 digits must remain.
"919876543210"
A public http(s) link to the file. There is no upload endpoint — we fetch the file from this link, so it must be reachable from the internet and be a direct link to the file itself, not a preview or share page. Private, internal and loopback addresses are refused, as are links containing a username or password.
