Status 401 indicates that you have a problem with your instance or token. You probably did not change the initial instance and token. You can get your data in your Green API account, API url and Media url fields for sending media files.
Read more about the error in the article on our website: https://green-api.com/en/docs/api/common-errors/
We also clarify that this is a response from the API and not a library error
