As far as know Whatsapp doesn't provide any official APIs for creating a group.The only functionality available now is the Click To Chat feature in which you can send messages to phone numbers without saving them.
More on this at Whatsapp FAQ
If you really want to implement this features there are some work around APIs which is not official and you will have to pay for some of it.

@GaneshNav I think that making a Whatsapp group with external APIs is a bad practise since they are temporary.
