Things you might expect that aren't available yet:
- No automatic retries for sends. If WhatsApp fails a send, you get a
502and decide what to do. There are no idempotency keys yet. - No global search.
q=works per request; very large histories get slower. - No broadcast endpoint. You can send to a group JID, but there's no "send to many" call.
- No mark-as-read endpoint, and reading marks as read. Messages are marked as read when they are fetched, so senders may see blue ticks once your app reads them.
- No send throttling. The service doesn't slow your sends down; pace bulk sending yourself.
- No poll tally endpoint. Count poll votes in your code.
