Synchronous, real-time results
Every check returns in the same HTTP response — no polling, no webhooks. Sales reps and customer systems get an immediate answer.
Verify WhatsApp registration, retrieve avatar URLs, and identify Business accounts — one synchronous API for marketing teams, sales teams, and developers who need clean, verified contact data.
Use them in the dashboard or API for real WhatsApp registration, avatar, and Business account checks.
Features
A focused suite of tools for developers and businesses that need clean contact data, immediate checks, and reliable API access.
Every check returns in the same HTTP response — no polling, no webhooks. Sales reps and customer systems get an immediate answer.
Registration check (ws, 1 credit), avatar check with profile URL (ws_avatar, 2 credits), or Business account check (ws_business, 2 credits) — all on the same API endpoint.
Credits, API keys, history, and product-level reporting sit in one dashboard instead of separate tools.
Verification products
All three products use one synchronous endpoint. Select a service type to control the returned fields and credit cost.
wsConfirm whether a phone number is registered on WhatsApp.
ws_avatarCheck registration, whether the WhatsApp account has set an avatar, and return the avatar URL when available.
ws_businessCheck registration and identify whether the number uses a WhatsApp Business account.
Workflow
The customer journey stays short whether a user is checking a single number in the web app or calling the API directly.
Sign up to access the dashboard and manage your profile and API keys from one place.
Credits are deducted up front for each check. If the check fails or the result is undetermined, credits are automatically refunded — you only pay for a usable result.
Dashboard statistics, 7-day product trends, and validation history help teams understand where credits are going.
FAQ
Straight answers about products, credits, API access, and failed validations.
WA Lookup offers three products: ws (registration check, 1 credit), ws_avatar (registration + avatar URL, 2 credits), and ws_business (registration + Business account type, 2 credits). Every check is synchronous and returns in the same HTTP response. It does not check online status, last seen, or message history.
Registration checks (ws) cost 1 credit. Avatar (ws_avatar) and Business account (ws_business) checks cost 2 credits each. Credits are purchased once — no subscription — and are refunded if the check fails or the result is undetermined.
