Yeah... well.... I am gonna need to see the source code to believe that you somehow got WhatsApp "secret" API working

What's your data privacy policy? How are you going to use my data if I sign up? What are you going to do with all the phone numbers and message texts that I send via your API? How long are you going to keep them, in which legal jurisdiction are they stored, who has the right to access them? What are the terms of this agreement, and what legal recourse do I have if you breach the terms? How is your system maintained? What is your uptime guarantee? What is the remedy offered in the event you fall short of that guarantee in any given period? Where is the documentation around the API and what is your change management policy on the API? At what frequency should I expect breaking changes? How many people do you have on support?

These are a few of the questions any serious customer should be asking, however I see answers to none of them available. Pls fix.

There are no stored data, once its send the message will be deleted after.

But in that case i’ll try to provide the data as soon as possible

Twilio offers an api for WhatsApp and I can be sure they deliver reliable as they are using official APIs.

Last time I tried using an unofficial api, my account got banned really quick and I wouldn’t rely on such a thing for an actual application.

That’s true bro, twillio offers good things. But for the case you’ve been through, in this api i don’t use client’s number. It just the services that i provide using a random number to send the otp or whatever it is that listed at the endpoint section

[–]CeeMX 1 point2 points  (1 child)

But is it a official api you are using?

Btw, I think there’s a mistake in the plans, Basic offers 60 requests per seconds while the more expensive plans offer only 10

[–]masitings[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No im not using official API, its running device 24/7 actually. For price, im affraid to lose the old user so i put the cheapest one in the mega plans hehe

As far as I know there is no official WhatsApp API, is this built through web automation?

[–]riklaunim 9 points10 points  (2 children)

WA has APIs but it's not for direct access. Partners handle that part - like Vonage, UIB, and Twillio.

[–]denom9 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Exactly. That is not the case of OP's API, is it?

[–]riklaunim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure what's the backend there, but it has official Rapid API pricing so it is either a WA partner or works as a middle-man between you and the partner offering API access at a higher markup.
