Create an Evolution API client — evo_client • evolution

Creates a preconfigured httr2 client to call Evolution API v2. It sets the apikey header, a custom User-Agent and basic automatic retries.

The returned object is used by every send_*() function and stores the base request (req) and the instance name so you don't have to repeat them.

Usage

evo_client(base_url, api_key, instance)

Arguments

base_url: Character. Server base URL (no trailing slash), e.g. "https://your-host".
api_key: Character. API key (sent as apikey header). Prefer Sys.getenv("EVO_APIKEY") to avoid hardcoding secrets.
instance: Character. Instance name/ID used in endpoint paths.

Value

An object of class evo_client with fields req (httr2 request) and instance.
