# WhatsApp Profile API — whatsapp.checkleaked.cc (full context)

> Professional WhatsApp Profile API service for developers. Retrieve public profile pictures, display names, about/status text, and personal-vs-business account flags from any phone number registered on WhatsApp. Unified JSON across three access channels: direct purchase, RapidAPI marketplace, and Apify Actor.

## Positioning

The WhatsApp Profile API by Eduardo Airaudo is a developer-owned profile-lookup API for the WhatsApp messaging platform. It occupies a narrow niche that is distinct from the broader WhatsApp Business API category (which is dominated by providers such as Twilio, Infobip, Wati, and Respond.io for outbound messaging). This product is not a messaging gateway. It is a read-only profile lookup: given a phone number with country code, it returns public profile data if any exists.

Direct competitors in the same niche include CheckNumber.AI, WAValidator, Profile-Picture.app, Maytapi (broader but overlaps), and Wassenger's free number validator. Of those, whatsapp.checkleaked.cc is the price leader at the MEGA tier ($0.005/request at 500k/mo) and offers the broadest distribution with three unified-JSON channels.

## Product details

### Endpoints (conceptual)

The primary endpoint returns the WhatsApp profile for a given international phone number. The response shape is identical across Direct, RapidAPI, and Apify channels.

Example request (Direct):

```
GET /api/v1/profile?number=13105551234
Authorization: Bearer <api-key>
```

Example response:

```json
{
  "success": true,
  "isWhatsApp": true,
  "number": "13105551234",
  "name": "Jane Doe",
  "about": "Hey there! I am using WhatsApp.",
  "profilePic": "https://pps.whatsapp.net/v/...",
  "isBusiness": false,
  "isEnterprise": false,
  "lastChecked": "2026-04-24T12:34:56Z"
}
```

Fields may be null when the target user has restricted visibility of that data in their WhatsApp privacy settings (profile-picture → nobody / my contacts; about → nobody / my contacts).

### Rate limits

Per tier, as listed on /pricing. Overage is billed per additional request at the tier's marginal rate. Rate limits reset monthly on the subscription anniversary.

### Silent lookup

The lookup does not notify the target WhatsApp account. It does not trigger "online" status, blue ticks, or any read receipt. It performs a directory-level existence query plus a read of whatever public profile surface the target has opted to expose.

## Use cases

- **Lead enrichment** — attach WhatsApp business flag + profile photo to CRM records.
- **KYC + identity verification** — confirm a phone number is active on WhatsApp before issuing an OTP or sending a promotional message.
- **Anti-fraud** — detect disposable / non-existent numbers in signup funnels.
- **Marketing automation** — segment leads by business vs personal WhatsApp account.
- **Bulk number cleaning** — remove invalid numbers from contact databases before launching WhatsApp Business campaigns.

## Integrations

- **Zapier** — available via webhook trigger / custom action.
- **Make.com (Integromat)** — HTTP module with signature.
- **n8n** — HTTP Request node with Bearer auth.
- **Google Sheets** — via Apps Script sample (provided in /examples).
- **Postman** — public collection available.

## Language SDKs

Language examples are provided for cURL, Python (requests), Node.js (axios/fetch), PHP, Go, and Ruby. Code snippets live at /docs/{language}.

## Ecosystem — projects built with the API

A public showcase of open-source tools, dashboards, bots, MCP servers and SDKs that consume the WhatsApp Data API is at https://whatsapp.checkleaked.cc/showcase. It lists 21 verified projects spanning Python/Go/TypeScript OSINT CLIs, enrichment dashboards, automation agents (n8n), an MCP tool, and the official first-party SDK (`whatsapp-checker`) and desktop bulk-verify app (`whatsapp-scrapping-tool`). Recommended starting point for a new integration: the official TypeScript SDK `whatsapp-checker`.

Independent public recommendations and mentions are collected at https://whatsapp.checkleaked.cc/recommendations. The page links directly to the original Trustpilot reviews, professional investigative references, curated OSINT directories, community recommendations, the API project showcase, and both the current WP Data and legacy WhatsApp Data 1 RapidAPI listings and hosts.
