Dated, sourced reference data for the WhatsApp Business Platform, published under CC BY 4.0 by WhaTools. This repository mirrors the datasets served live at https://wha.tools/api/data and is refreshed automatically (see Freshness).
| File | What it is | Source page |
|---|---|---|
rates.json / rates.csv |
WhatsApp Business API rate card — Meta's per-message rates for 38 markets/regions in all 16 currencies Meta publishes, plus volume-tier thresholds and rates. | https://wha.tools/whatsapp-api-pricing |
limits.json / limits.csv |
Current WhatsApp limits — group/community size, broadcast lists, message length, media and file sizes, forwarding, calls, linked devices, Business-app limits. | https://wha.tools/whatsapp-limits |
changes.json / changes.csv |
A dated, sourced ledger of every recorded change to WhatsApp Business Platform pricing since 2019, with provenance and the figures before/after. | https://wha.tools/whatsapp-api-pricing-history |
The JSON files are canonical — each is an envelope carrying its own
license, attribution, source, verified date and upstream source, so a
saved copy keeps its provenance. The CSVs are flattened convenience views
derived from the JSON (rates.csv covers the per-message headline rates;
volume-tier rates live only in rates.json).
A scheduled GitHub Action (.github/workflows/refresh.yml)
fetches the canonical JSON from https://wha.tools/api/data every week, rebuilds
the CSVs with scripts/build-csv.mjs, and commits only
when a figure has actually changed. Each file's own verified date tells you
when its numbers were last checked against the upstream source.

That's the concept DOI — it always resolves to the latest version; each tagged
release also gets its own version DOI. Machine-readable citation metadata is in
CITATION.cff (GitHub shows a "Cite this repository" button from
it), and the archived record on Zenodo reads .zenodo.json.
