Whatsapp Check API
Check whether an Indian mobile number is registered on WhatsApp and whether it is a personal or a business account.
Overview
What the Whatsapp Check API does
Whatsapp Check reports whether a mobile number has an active WhatsApp registration and distinguishes a personal account from a business one.
If WhatsApp is a channel you use for onboarding or support, this tells you in advance whether a number can be reached that way, so you can route to SMS instead of discovering the failure after sending.
