Is this the official WhatsApp API?

Yes. Warid sits on Meta's WhatsApp Business Platform (Cloud API), and your number stays in your own WhatsApp Business account.

Do the API and the inbox share chats?

Yes. Messages your app sends show up in the inbox, and your team's replies go out from the same number.

Can I send a message after 24 hours?

Only a template. A free-form message outside the window returns 422 window_closed, and nothing is sent.

The developer guide at warid.chat/docs walks you through keys, sending, webhooks and MCP, with examples you can copy.

WhatsApp Business API

WhatsApp in your app, with one simple API.

Chats, templates, campaigns and verification codes are all in a plain REST API, with webhooks for everything that happens. Your team keeps working in the Warid inbox, on the same conversations.
