Use webex API to send `hello world` to a chat group

[umbapat]

I want to use webex APIs to send a test message to a chat group.  I would like to use generic account that my team already has. I do not know my chat room ID.  I can create one if necessary. also, I do not have a token. How do I create one for my generic account?

@umbapat not sure about generic accounts, but you can use the guide here https://developer.webex.com/docs/getting-started to get started with API authentication. And here is the Messages API https://developer.webex.com/docs/api/v1/messages . you would need to know the room ID you want to send the message to, without it it won't work. You can get it using https://developer.webex.com/docs/api/v1/rooms .
