How much does the WhatsApp Profile API cost?

There are four tiers: BASIC is free with 50 requests/month, PRO is $35/month for 10,000 requests, ULTRA is $150/month for 50,000 requests, and MEGA is $500/month for 500,000 requests. Pay-As-You-Go credits are also available from $82.95 per 50,000 requests with crypto or $105 via PayPal.

What information does the API return?

The API returns whether a number is registered on WhatsApp, the public profile picture URL, the display name, the about/status text, and flags for WhatsApp Business and Enterprise accounts. Fields return null when the target user has restricted visibility in their WhatsApp privacy settings.

Does the lookup notify the target WhatsApp account?

No. The lookup is silent. It does not trigger the 'online' status, blue ticks, or any notification. It performs a directory-level existence query plus a read of public profile data the target has chosen to expose.

Can I access the API through RapidAPI or Apify?

Yes. The same JSON response is available on three channels: direct purchase (lowest per-request price), RapidAPI marketplace (fastest setup), and Apify Actor (no-code friendly). Direct purchase typically saves ~20% versus the equivalent RapidAPI-channel usage.

Can I view a WhatsApp DP by phone number?

Yes. Enter any phone number with its country code and our tool fetches the account's public profile picture directly from WhatsApp. You don't need to save the contact or install anything.

Can I download someone's WhatsApp profile picture?

Yes. Once the DP loads you can download it in full resolution to your phone or computer with a single tap. Downloads are free and have no watermark.

Can I see a WhatsApp DP if it is private or I am blocked?

You can only view a profile picture that the user has made visible to everyone. If someone has set their DP to Contacts-only, or has blocked you, WhatsApp hides the photo and no tool can legitimately reveal it.

Is the WhatsApp DP viewer free?

Yes, checking a number and viewing its profile picture is completely free, with no sign-up required. We also offer an API and higher-volume plans for developers and businesses.

Will the person know I viewed their profile picture?

No. WhatsApp does not notify anyone when their public profile picture is viewed, and our lookup is completely silent and anonymous — the account owner receives nothing.

Can I check whether a number is registered on WhatsApp?

Yes. The tool tells you in real time whether a phone number has an active WhatsApp account, along with its display name, About text and whether it is a business account.
