How to initialize an object#

To initialize an object it is required to use apiUrl and mediaUrl parameters specifically for your instance from your console, that way you will get the most stable API work and minimal response time.

greenapi::GreenApi instance1101000001{
    "https://api.green-api.com",
    "https://media.green-api.com",
    "1101123456",
    "87be9e9532fc49748f2a44b9242e55f2e89f4bf97ed6498f80"
    };

How to send file by upload#

To send file by upload, you have to pass the path to the file as the first parameter and the properties as the second parameter.

Link to the example: sendFileByUpload.cpp.

nlohmann::json sendFileByUploadFileJson{
    { "file","C:/1.png" }
    };

    nlohmann::json sendFileByUploadJson{
    { "chatId","71234567890@c.us" },
    { "caption","I use GREEN-API to send this message to you!" },
    { "fileName","1.png" }
    };

    greenapi::Response sendFileByUpload = instance1101000001.sending.sendFileByUpload(sendFileByUploadFileJson, sendFileByUploadJson);

    if (sendFileByUpload.error) {
        std::cout << "sendFileByUpload error: {status code: " << sendFileByUpload.status_code << ", request time: " << sendFileByUpload.total_time << ", body: " << sendFileByUpload.bodyStr << "}" << "\n" << std::endl;
    }
    else {
        std::cout << "\tidMessage: " << sendFileByUpload.bodyJson["idMessage"] << std::endl;
        std::cout << "\turlFile: " << sendFileByUpload.bodyJson["urlFile"] << "\n" << std::endl;
    }

Pay attention that all the library's methods return structure of greenapi::Response type. To control the programm's work, check the method's execution, error field.
