Evolution GO Compatibility Layer — API Reference

The Pilot Status Evolution GO API Layer gives you a drop-in replacement for your Evolution GO server. You keep every request body, header, and path exactly as they are today — the only change you make is swapping out your base URL. Pilot Status translates your Evolution GO-compatible requests into its native API and returns responses in the format your code already handles.

Base URL

Point your HTTP client or environment variable at the following base URL to start using the Evolution GO layer:

https://pilotstatus.com.br/api/layer/evolution-go/

All paths you currently use with your Evolution GO server append directly to this URL. No other changes are required.

Authentication

Pass your Pilot Status API key using the same header your existing Evolution GO code already sends. If your code uses the apikey header, continue using it:

apikey: YOUR_API_KEY

If your code uses a Bearer token header instead, that format is also accepted:

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

Use whichever format matches your existing implementation — you do not need to change your authentication code.

Supported operations

Every request is a call to <METHOD> https://pilotstatus.com.br/api/layer/evolution-go<PATH>. The instance is resolved from your API key, so Evolution GO paths that normally carry an instance segment do not need one here. Send operations are automatically load-balanced across your number’s connected instances.

Any path not listed below returns 404. Global or admin-only paths return 403 — they are never exposed through the layer (see Blocked paths).

Instance (session)

Method	Path
POST	`/instance/connect`
GET	`/instance/status`
GET	`/instance/qr`
POST	`/instance/pair`
POST	`/instance/disconnect`
POST	`/instance/reconnect`
DELETE	`/instance/logout`
GET	`/instance/{id}/advanced-settings`
PUT	`/instance/{id}/advanced-settings`

Send (load-balanced)

These endpoints send messages through the Evolution GO layer; the number is selected by the API key, so the path has no instance segment and number in the body is the recipient.

Blocked (admin/global)

These global and admin-only Evolution GO paths are not exposed through the layer and return 403: GET /server/ok · /swagger/* · POST /instance/create · GET /instance/all · GET /instance/info/{id} · DELETE /instance/delete/{id} · POST /instance/proxy/{id} · DELETE /instance/proxy/{id} · POST /instance/forcereconnect/{id} · GET /instance/logs/{id}

Events

The layer forwards events to your configured webhook in Evolution GO’s own native (PascalCase) format, so your existing event handlers keep working unchanged: Message · SendMessage · Receipt · Presence · ChatPresence · Archive · CallOffer · CallAccept · CallTerminate · Connected · PairSuccess · TemporaryBan · LoggedOut · ConnectFailure · Disconnected · LabelEdit · LabelAssociationChat · LabelAssociationMessage · Contact · PushName · GroupInfo · JoinedGroup · NewsletterJoin · NewsletterLeave · QRCode · QRSuccess The modern UPPER_SNAKE aliases are also accepted: MESSAGES_UPSERT · SEND_MESSAGE · CONNECTION_UPDATE · QRCODE_UPDATED · PRESENCE_UPDATE · CHATS_UPSERT · CHATS_UPDATE · CHATS_DELETE · GROUPS_UPSERT · GROUPS_UPDATE · GROUP_PARTICIPANTS_UPDATE · CALL · CONTACTS_UPSERT · CONTACTS_UPDATE · NEWSLETTER_UPDATE · LABEL_EDIT · LABEL_ASSOCIATION In addition, Pilot Status can deliver its own normalized events alongside the native ones:

Call lifecycle: call.ringing, call.connected, call.ended, call.missed
Number lifecycle: number.created, number.connected, number.disconnected, number.removed

Example: send text via Evolution GO layer

The request below is a real Evolution GO layer call — a standard POST /send/text, with only the base URL changed to route through Pilot Status. There is no instance segment in the path: the apikey header selects the instance.

curl -X POST 'https://pilotstatus.com.br/api/layer/evolution-go/send/text' \
  -H 'apikey: YOUR_PILOT_STATUS_API_KEY' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{ "number": "5511999999999", "text": "Hello from Pilot Status! 👋" }'

The body fields are the same your Evolution GO code already sends to POST /send/text — number and text, plus optional fields like delay, quoted, and mentionedJid. The response format is identical to what your existing code consumes.

If any Evolution GO operation is not supported by the layer, use the native Pilot Status API instead. For specific compatibility questions, contact support on WhatsApp: +55 11 96743-5133.
