WhatsApp Number Checker & Validator

WhatsApp Number Checker is a bulk WhatsApp number validator that verifies whether phone numbers are registered WhatsApp accounts and extracts their public WhatsApp profile data — profile picture, about/status text, personal-vs-business account type, and, for WhatsApp Business accounts, the full business profile: business name, category, email, website, address, and opening hours. Feed it a list of phone numbers and get back clean, structured data you can download as JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML, or XML.

Use this WhatsApp validator to check if a number is on WhatsApp, clean phone lists, verify leads, and scrape WhatsApp Business contact details (email, website, address) before you launch a campaign. It runs in the cloud and needs no coding.

What does the WhatsApp Number Checker do?

For each phone number, the Actor:

1. Validates the phone number format — malformed numbers are rejected up front, so you never waste a lookup on a number that can't be valid.
2. Checks WhatsApp registration — confirms whether the number is a real, registered WhatsApp account.
3. Extracts public WhatsApp profile data — for a registered number it returns the public profile picture URL, the about/status text, and whether the account is personal or a WhatsApp Business account.
4. Pulls the full WhatsApp Business profile — for business accounts it also captures the business description, category, contact email, website(s), address, time zone, and opening hours in a structured business object.

What data does it extract?

Each result is one row per phone number:

Fields hidden by a user's WhatsApp privacy settings come back as null.

Features

✅ Bulk WhatsApp number validation

Pass an array of phone numbers and the Actor checks each one independently. Invalid numbers are reported per-number without stopping the run, so a single bad number never kills the whole job — ideal for validating large phone lists in one go.

🖼️ Public WhatsApp profile data extraction

Beyond a simple yes/no, the Actor returns the public profile picture URL, the about/status text, and the account type (personal or WhatsApp Business) for every registered number.

🏢 WhatsApp Business profile data

Flags whether each number is a WhatsApp Business account or personal, and for business accounts pulls the full public profile — description, category, email, websites, address, time zone, and opening hours — straight into a nested business object.

🧹 Phone-list cleaning & lead verification

Filter a raw phone list down to numbers that actually have WhatsApp, so your outreach reaches real, reachable people and your message credits aren't wasted on bounces.

📤 Clean, structured output

Results are written to a dataset you can export as JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML, or XML — one row per phone number, ready to drop into a spreadsheet, CRM, or automation.

How to check if a number is on WhatsApp

1. Add the phone numbers you want to verify to the input in international E.164 format (e.g. +14155552671).
2. Click Start and let the Actor run.
3. Download the results from the Storage tab as JSON, CSV, or Excel — or push them anywhere with Apify integrations.

Input example

{
"numbers":["+14155552671","+905010740316"]
}

Provide numbers in international E.164 format (e.g. +14155552671). See the Input tab for the full schema.

Output example

The Actor returns one record per number:

{
"number":"14155552671",
"hasWhatsApp":true,
"accountType":"business",
"about":"Hey there! I am using WhatsApp.",
"profilePicUrl":"https://pps.whatsapp.net/...",
"business":{
"description":"Fresh groceries delivered daily.",
"category":"Grocery Store",
"email":"hello@example.com",
"websites":["https://example.com"],
"address":"123 Market St, San Francisco, CA",
"timezone":"America/Los_Angeles",
"hours":[
{"day":"mon","mode":"specific_hours","openTime":"09:00","closeTime":"17:00"}
]
}
}

For personal accounts business is null.

Numbers not on WhatsApp return { "hasWhatsApp": false }; invalid numbers return { "hasWhatsApp": false, "error": "..." } without stopping the run.
