All notable changes to this Actor will be documented here.
- Renamed to "Fast WhatsApp Number Validator" — validates thousands of numbers in seconds.
- Memory capped (128–1024 MB) to keep runs cheap and predictable.
- Single tier now: $1.5/1K, fully offline. Removed the optional Premium
live-WhatsApp-check tier and all provider integrations (Whapi / 2Chat /
custom) and their inputs. The Actor is now login-free, key-free and
bans-proof end to end. The
result-premium charge event is retired.
- Basic price lowered to $1.5/1K (was $2/1K) — still profitable, more competitive.
- Premium price lowered to $3/1K (was $5/1K) — undercuts the live-check competitors.
- Bulk paste field (
numbersText) — paste a whole list / copied spreadsheet
column; merged with phoneNumbers.
- Dataset views — "Validated numbers" + "WhatsApp-ready (clean list)" for a
cleaner Store output and task landing pages.
- Input is now flattened and de-duplicated — numbers pasted together
(newline / comma / semicolon separated) are split apart, and duplicates are
removed so you are never charged twice for the same number.
- Operator backend — provider credentials resolve from the Actor's secret
environment variables (
WA_PROVIDER, WA_API_KEY, WA_SOURCE_NUMBER,
WA_CUSTOM_ENDPOINT) so users get keyless live checks with tier: premium.
- Live-check providers: Whapi.Cloud, 2Chat, or a Custom endpoint.
- Offline bulk validation powered by Google's libphonenumber:
validity, E.164 / international / national formats, country, region,
carrier, line type (mobile / landline / VoIP …) and time zones.
whatsappCapable flag — true for valid mobile numbers that can hold a
WhatsApp account.- Cleanup filters —
onlyValid and onlyWhatsappCapable to return a
ready-to-use list.
- Premium tier (bring your own key) — optional live WhatsApp-registration
check via Whapi.Cloud, 2Chat, or a custom HTTPS endpoint. Live checks run on
your provider account; failures fall back gracefully to the offline result.
- CSV export (
exportFormat) with spreadsheet-friendly columns.
- Per-run
SUMMARY written to the key-value store (not billed).
- Two-tier pricing: Basic $2/1K, Premium $5/1K. You pay per number returned.
