Get Instance Profile Picture
curl --request GET \
  --url https://app.wachat.net/api/v1/instance/profile-picture \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>'
"<string>"
Return the connected WhatsApp profile picture directly as an image. This endpoint is useful when you want to display the connected account avatar in a browser, documentation page, or an <img> tag. For browser image rendering, pass the API key as a query parameter because image tags cannot send Authorization headers. 
<img src="https://app.wachat.net/api/v1/instance/profile-picture?instanceName=t1_mqc3zame_wa&apiKey=YOUR_API_KEY" alt="WhatsApp Profile Picture" />
Passing an API key in a URL can expose it in browser history, logs, or analytics. Use this only when you need direct image rendering. For backend integrations, prefer the Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY header.
