🔎 WhatsApp Number Lookup & Verification — Bulk Check, Profile Photo, Business Data

Turn a raw phone list into ranked, enriched WhatsApp leads. Bulk-check whether numbers are registered on WhatsApp and get back a full profile per number — ready for outreach, CRM cleaning and lead generation.

Just need true/false validation? Use the lighter WhatsApp Number Validator ($0.80–1.5/1K). This actor is for teams who need enrichment — profile photos, business email & website, about text and lead scoring — to prioritise outreach.

What you get per number

Field	Description	Needs a token?
onWhatsApp	Is the number on WhatsApp right now (true/false)	No
profilePhotoUrl / hasProfilePhoto	Public profile picture — rehosted to permanent storage (never expires)	No
profilePhotoStatus	Why no photo: ok / private (locked by privacy settings) / none (no photo set)	No
displayName	Public profile / business display name	No
isBusiness	Business-account flag	No
valid, e164, international, national	Validity + all phone formats	No
country, regionCode, carrier, lineType	Number intelligence	No
timezones, localTimeNow, bestTimeToMessage	When to reach them	No
leadScore (0–100), leadQuality	Ranked outreach priority	No
about	About / status text	No
businessName, businessCategory, businessEmail, businessWebsite, businessAddress, businessHours	Extended business details	No
verifiedName	Verified business name	No

Everything works with no setup and no tokens: registration, photo, about text and full business details are all built in.

Why enrichment beats validation

A bare valid: true is useless for outreach. "On WhatsApp + has a profile photo + business account named Acme Plumbing" is a hot lead. Each extra data point is a reason to message this contact first — that's what agencies pay for.

Input

Paste numbers into Phone numbers (one per line), paste a list / CSV column into the text box, or upload a CSV/TXT file. Include the country code with a leading + (e.g. +14155552671), or set a Default country for local-format numbers.

Result caching (cheaper repeats)

Results are cached for 7 days in your own key-value store. Re-checking the same number within a week returns instantly and is billed via the cheaper result-cached event — handy for re-validating the same lists on a schedule.

Use the Ranked leads dataset view to sort by leadScore, or export CSV-friendly columns with exportFormat: "csv".

Every checked number is returned — each row carries its own valid / onWhatsApp / whatsappStatus flags, so you filter the results on your side (e.g. keep only registered).

Honest limits

• Online / last-seen is not available. WhatsApp hides presence from non-contacts (even the official API does not expose last-seen to third parties), so we don't claim it. What is reliable — registration, profile photo, about text and business details — is what this actor returns.
• Profile photo and about text appear only when the user made them public — profilePhotoStatus tells you exactly which case it was.

Notes

• No customer login, QR scan, or API key is required. Bulk processing is built in.
• Every valid number is live-checked — including landlines, since WhatsApp Business accounts can sit on fixed lines.
