YCloud exposes a unified REST API at https://api.ycloud.com/v2 for WhatsApp Business messaging. This skill covers the full public v2 endpoint surface with live-verified (June 2026) behavior notes.

Base URL and Auth

Base URL : https://api.ycloud.com/v2
Auth     : X-API-Key: <your-api-key>   (header, every request)

No OAuth, no Bearer token. One key grants full read/write access to all resources.

Critical Gotchas (read before calling)

| Gotcha | Detail | |---|---| | Paginate with page, not offset | ?offset=N is silently ignored — always returns the newest page. Use page=1..100. | | limit cap is 100 | Max 100 items per page. Max reachable offset: (100-1)*100 = 9,900 (~10k records total). | | Message filters mostly broken | filter.status, filter.from, filter.type on GET /v2/whatsapp/messages are silently ignored. Only filter.wabaId and filter.to work server-side. Post-filter client-side for everything else. | | Campaign→messages lag | Bulk campaign sends via the dashboard are not instantly reflected in GET /v2/whatsapp/messages; allow propagation time. | | No bulkMessages API | There is no bulk-send endpoint in the public v2 API. Campaign sends are dashboard-only. | | Campaign send is OPERATOR-ONLY | The agent NEVER auto-sends a marketing broadcast — no message-loop, no broadcast POST, no sendDirectly fan-out over a list. The human operator submits it in the dashboard UI. See the doctrine note below. | | filterUnsubscribed not on sendDirectly | Available on POST /v2/whatsapp/messages only, not on the sendDirectly variant. | | Template PATCH is full replacement | Every PATCH must include ALL components even when changing only one. | | Phone number ID path broken | GET /v2/whatsapp/phoneNumbers/{PHONE_NUMBER_ID} returns 404. Use /{wabaId}/{phoneNumber} instead. | | Unsubscribers has cursor + offset | The only endpoint returning both pagination styles simultaneously. | | Balance is always USD | GET /v2/balance returns USD regardless of WABA billing currency. |

⚠️ DOCTRINE — the campaign/broadcast SEND is ALWAYS operator-executed, NEVER automated by the agent. Use this API for reads (status, analytics, balance, templates), for single transactional/inbox replies inside the 24h service window, and to build/validate lists — but the agent MUST NOT fire a marketing broadcast programmatically (no POST /v2/whatsapp/messages loop over a list, no sendDirectly fan-out). The human operator uploads the list and clicks Send in the dashboard UI. A broadcast is irreversible, costs real money, and one bad send can crater quality or permanently ban the number — the human at the trigger is the last safety gate.
