Google Sheets — WhatsApp Profile API

Validate a column of phone numbers directly inside Google Sheets using Apps Script. Paste numbers, run a menu command, get results back in adjacent columns.

Setup

  1. Open a Sheet.
  2. Extensions → Apps Script.
  3. Paste the script below.
  4. Replace YOUR_DIRECT_KEY.
  5. Save. Reload the Sheet. A new menu WhatsApp API appears.
  6. Put phone numbers in column A (with country code, no + sign). Run WhatsApp API → Validate column A.

Apps Script

// Direct proxy: use your direct-purchase key from our dashboard.
// RapidAPI marketplace: set API_BASE = "https://whatsapp-data1.p.rapidapi.com"
// AND uncomment the x-rapidapi-host header below.
const API_KEY = "YOUR_DIRECT_KEY";
const API_BASE = "https://whatsapp-proxy.checkleaked.cc";

function onOpen() {
  SpreadsheetApp.getUi()
    .createMenu("WhatsApp API")
    .addItem("Validate column A", "validateColumnA")
    .addToUi();
}

function validateColumnA() {
  const sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
  const lastRow = sheet.getLastRow();
  if (lastRow < 2) return;
  const numbers = sheet.getRange(2, 1, lastRow - 1, 1).getValues();

  // Header row
  sheet.getRange(1, 2, 1, 4).setValues([["isWAContact", "about", "isBusiness", "profilePic"]]);

  for (let i = 0; i < numbers.length; i++) {
    const number = String(numbers[i][0]).replace(/[^0-9]/g, "");
    if (!number) continue;

    try {
      const res = UrlFetchApp.fetch(
        `${API_BASE}/number/no_picture/${number}`,
        {
          headers: {
            "x-rapidapi-key": API_KEY,
            // "x-rapidapi-host": "whatsapp-data1.p.rapidapi.com",  // RapidAPI only
          },
          muteHttpExceptions: true,
        }
      );
      const data = JSON.parse(res.getContentText());
      sheet.getRange(i + 2, 2, 1, 4).setValues([[
        data.isWAContact || false,
        data.about || "",
        data.isBusiness || false,
        data.profilePic || "",
      ]]);
    } catch (e) {
      sheet.getRange(i + 2, 2).setValue("ERROR");
    }

    // Respect tier burst limits — sleep 500 ms between requests (2/sec). MEGA tier: 250 ms (4/sec).
    Utilities.sleep(500);
  }
}

Volume guidance

  • Google Sheets Apps Script has a 6-minute per-execution limit. At 2 req/sec (BASIC/PRO/ULTRA) this handles ~700 numbers per run; MEGA at 4 req/sec handles ~1,400.
  • For lists larger than 1,000 numbers, call our bulk endpoint instead — one call, download CSV, paste results back.
  • Apps Script's UrlFetchApp has a separate per-day quota — 20,000 calls for free accounts, 100,000 for Workspace. Monitor both sides.

Triggering on row edit

For a "validate on paste" workflow, add an installable trigger:

function onEditValidate(e) {
  if (e.range.getColumn() !== 1 || e.range.getRow() < 2) return;
  // ... call validateSingleRow(e.range.getRow())
}

Install under Triggers → Add Trigger → onEditValidate → From spreadsheet → On edit.
