I guess whatsapp business api client is only used pre-selected company which whatsapp grant.
So, i want to know my guessing is right or not.
According to official guide, i need to register phone number to whatsapp.
I guess here exist whatsapp menu. but i can't see menu. (Sorry, i dont know the way website display english language)
Official guide mentions this. "If you cant see WhatsApp account option, you cant use Business API yet"
So i search how can i access Business API, and i can see this in WhatsApp FAQ.
Finally, according to below link, WhatsApp has granted to 90 pre-selected companies.

As a result, if i want to use whatsapp business api, i need to use service which is provided official whatsapp partner company like twilio.
Someone tell me that My result is right?
Yes, you either need to fill out the request form to request access to WhatsApp Business API or use existing solution providers like Twilio.

I want to create a custom chat box for google businesses, Where business owner will login into the web app and He can easily manage the multiple business chats in one dashboard.
As per your given information, you have to be a partner of Google. As per google documentation, you need to be a partner of google and then you can create the agent and can send and receive messages. You can integrate the business messages API by following this documentation:
https://developers.google.com/business-communications/business-messages/guides
In this process, you need to be a partner of Google. The complete process is given on the link. If you follow this link, then you can use their built-in libraries easily and can send messages easily.
So far the permission for API, it might not be found for you because you might have to take permission for the particular project that is registered on google and then you will see the business messages API and you can enable it and use it. The reason as per the basic step:
https://developers.google.com/my-business/content/basic-setup
Sometimes, you have to submit the request form to take the API access for particular APIs. Or Share how are you using that API.
If you do not find a form for business messages API then you can ask for the information from bm-support#google.com. they mostly respond on a working day.
I am new to using WhatsApp API. I am not sure but it seems that the api is for business users only. I want to use the api to send messages to users automatically based on a change in an app, (say PowerBI). I want to send updates regarding a report whenever a change is made and send it through whatsapp instead of email.
Yes, WhatsApp API is for business users. But, if you still looking for a WhatsApp bot I recommend Twilio, there are a lot of content about it in the internet. Check out this video, It's using python and really easy.
As far as I know, to use the WhatsApp Business API one must use the APIs developed by WhatsApp regional partners
Looking at our a regional partner API, one cannot send an image to the customer as for the first message of the conversation
Is this a WhatsApp Business API restriction or is can be the partner API restriction?
Right now this is a restriction by WhatsApp Business API. You can only use Message Templates as your first message which do not support images at the moment. You can read more about the API here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/api/messages#cutoffcontrol
I want to access the full LinkedIn profile information using the API, but I have only managed to access the basic profile and e-mail address with the API-key and Secret Key.
Am I missing something or is it more restricted in some manner?
How did you get the LinkedIn API ?
Did you applied for partnership because as far as I know LinkedIn changed the policy of API , so the API will be available only through the partnership and for that you've to pay different fee based on partner program
Have a look here, the same thins we've too.
I've fulfilled the application 3 weeks ago but no response yet.
***Subject: Having acces on LinkedIn API [160721-001958]****
I had spoken with one of our experts on this and he had confirmed for me that you can still go through other workarounds for this.
Go to https://developer.linkedin.com/partner-programs
Click on either of the options based on your need. You will be directed to another page where if you scroll down you will find the button for Apply to become a LinkedIn Solutions Partner. Click on that.
You will be directed to a page that says Apply to become a LinkedIn Partner and you can fill up the form from there for access.
I am working on iphone application.I wanted to get the social networking (facebook,twitter, etc) profile details by giving email id as query. Is there any method to get the profile ?
For Facebook you can try this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/5247066/580173
For twitter this this not possible. You can use oAuth to authenticate the user and get the profile.
For LinkedIn I believe it's also not possible. LinkedIn doesn't communicate the emailaddress anywhere in their API.
See this forum post: https://developer.linkedin.com/thread/1131
I'm assuming that you're wanting to just add the social profile links to a user's profile inside your app...correct? (If you want to actually allow your users to post to their various social media accounts, your best bet is to go ahead and let users sign into each individual account via OAuth.)
If you're looking to get public social info via email address, your free options for a simple solution are pretty limited. Each different social network has its own method, so you'd need to build out a different process to query each social network you want to support. Without more info on which networks you want to support, there are any number of different answers to this question - so I'll just say your best bet is to check out the developer docs of whichever social networks you want to use.
If you're looking for a paid solution, you might try FullContact (full disclosure - I work for them). The Person API pretty much does exactly what you're looking for - pulling all public social media profiles associated with a particular email ID. API docs are here.
However, it is a paid solution, which may not be what you're after.
