To send files through the Twilio API for WhatsApp you need to be able to host those files somewhere. When you send a message with a file you need to pass a URL to the API. If you are doing this locally, you could make the files available with a web server on your machine and a tunnel like ngrok that can create a URL that points at your local machine.
