FAQ

Before you integrate

Clear answers to the questions developers usually ask before their first request.

Still have a question? Contact us
What does the Number Validator check?

It checks whether a phone number is registered on WhatsApp and returns a straightforward validation result. It does not send a message to the number.

Can I validate a large list?

Yes. Use the bulk checker on this website for CSV processing or integrate the API into your own batch workflow.

Does Profile Data always return every field?

No. Availability depends on the account type, the information configured by the account owner and their privacy settings. Unavailable fields may be returned as null.

Do I have to buy both APIs?

No. Validation and enrichment are separate products. Use either one independently, or combine them in your own workflow.

Is API Factory affiliated with WhatsApp?

No. API Factory is an independent service and is not affiliated with or endorsed by WhatsApp LLC or Meta Platforms, Inc.
