}Authorizations
Your Periskope API token, sent as Authorization: Bearer <token>. Generate one from the Periskope dashboard under Settings → API & Webhooks. API access requires an active Pro or Enterprise plan.
Headers
Optional. Phone to act with: country code + number without symbols or spaces (e.g. 911111111111), or a phone_id (phone-xxxxxxxxxxxx). Omit to let the API select an eligible phone automatically — within the token's phone scopes and connected; chat actions use a phone that has the chat (a group admin where required), message actions use the phone the message belongs to.
"919876543210"
Body
Phone numbers to check: country code + number without symbols or spaces (e.g. 911111111111). The @c.us suffix is accepted and ignored for matching.
11["911111111111", "911111111111"]
