Question 1

How much does the WhatsApp Profile API cost?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

What information does the API return?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

Does the lookup notify the target WhatsApp account?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

Can I access the API through RapidAPI or Apify?

Accepted Answer

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.
