| # WhatsApp Business Platform Open Data |
|
|
| Dated, sourced reference data for the WhatsApp Business Platform, published under |
| CC BY 4.0 by WhaTools (https://wha.tools). Each file carries its own licence, |
| attribution and verification date; the live source is regenerated from |
| https://wha.tools/api/data. |
|
|
| ## Datasets |
|
|
| | File | What it is | Verified | Source page | |
| | --- | --- | --- | --- | |
| | `rates.{json,csv}` | WhatsApp Business API rate card | 2026-10-03 | https://wha.tools/whatsapp-api-pricing | |
| | `limits.{json,csv}` | WhatsApp limits & rules | 2026-08-05 | https://wha.tools/whatsapp-limits | |
| | `changes.{json,csv}` | WhatsApp API pricing changes | 2026-10-03 | https://wha.tools/whatsapp-api-pricing-history | |
|
|
| The JSON files are the canonical form (envelopes carrying `license`, |
| `attribution`, `source`, `verified` and `upstream`). The CSVs are flattened |
| views for quick loading; `rates.csv` covers the per-message headline rates — |
| volume-tier rates live only in `rates.json`. |
|
|
| ## Provenance |
|
|
| - **rates / changes** upstream: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/pricing |
| - **limits** upstream: https://faq.whatsapp.com/ |
|
|
| Rates are stored per currency exactly as Meta publishes them (FX-anchored, not |
| converted), so do not derive one currency from another. |
