Hi everyone! 👋

I’m looking for a reliable way to bulk-check whether phone numbers are registered on WhatsApp (reachable/active). Goal: lead classification to prioritize outreach.


Requirements/Context
  • Volume: hundreds to thousands per batch
  • Frequency: weekly (possibly daily)
  • Cost: ideally free or as low as possible
  • Interface: API/service (REST/webhook OK) with fast response
  • I/O: send CSV/JSON with country code + number; get boolean (has WhatsApp: yes/no) and, if possible, minimal metadata (e.g., status)


Tried (not ideal)
  • Manual checks in the app (not scalable)
  • Unofficial bots/emulators (high ban risk)


Questions
  • Is there any official API or BSP (Business Solution Provider) offering a number lookup/validity check without sending a message?
  • Any bulk verification services you recommend (low cost per check, clear SLA)?
  • Best practices to minimize cost/latency and avoid blocks?
  • If WhatsApp Business Platform is required, what’s the simplest/cheapest path to validate existence before starting conversations?

Any pointers to methods, services, BSPs, libraries, or real-world experience would be hugely appreciated. Thanks! 🙏
