# Quickstart

> Make your first Wachat API request.

## 1. Set your token

```bash theme={null}
export WACHAT_API_TOKEN="your_token_here"
```

## 2. Check your account

```bash theme={null}
curl https://crm.wachat.net/api/v1/account/limits \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $WACHAT_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Accept: application/json"
```

## 3. Send a message

Once an instance is connected, call the send text endpoint:

```bash theme={null}
curl -X POST https://crm.wachat.net/api/v1/send/text \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $WACHAT_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "instance_id": "YOUR_INSTANCE_ID",
    "to": "628123456789",
    "message": "Hello from Wachat"
  }'
```
