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 $139/month for 50,000 requests, and MEGA is $449/month for 500,000 requests. Pay-As-You-Go credits are also available from $40 per 50,000 requests with crypto or $50 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.
