Returns one row of WhatsApp lifecycle counts per hour. Rows use send-time attribution, so a delivery confirmation is counted in the hour when its message was accepted. Recent rows can under-report delivered while delivery reports arrive. Set timezone for local hours instead of UTC, including zones with sub-hour offsets.

Each row includes its own latency percentiles; delivery, failure, and read rates are whole-window aggregates available from the summary endpoint instead. from and to are optional RFC 3339 instants, defaulting to the trailing 168 hours; each bound rounds down to the hour and remains inclusive. A request may span up to 30 days (720 rows). An excessive or reversed window returns 422.

Set one dimension filter at most; more than one returns 422.

Query Parameters

fromstring

Start of the window (RFC 3339 instant), rounded down to the start of its hour and included. The boundary uses the local hour when timezone is set and the UTC hour otherwise. The window may not exceed 30 days (720 hours). Defaults to 168 hours (7 days) before to when omitted.

tostring

End of the window (RFC 3339 instant), rounded down to the start of its hour and included. The boundary uses the local hour when timezone is set and the UTC hour otherwise, so both bounds are inclusive. The window may not exceed 30 days (720 hours). Defaults to the current hour when omitted.

timezonestring

IANA timezone identifier used to group statistics, for example Asia/Kathmandu. The default is UTC. Day and hour boundaries, including the default window when from and to are omitted, follow this timezone. When this parameter is set, pass from and to as calendar days or Z instants instead of timestamps with explicit UTC offsets.

templatestring

Restricts the statistics to one template, identified by its ID (wat_…) or slug. Mutually exclusive with the other dimension filters (category, phone_number, tag); only one may be set per request. An ID matches the template_id key on a row of the per-template breakdown; a slug is accepted for callers that predate that key and resolves to the same messages.

categorystring

Restrict the statistics to a single template category. Mutually exclusive with the other dimension filters (template, phone_number, tag); only one may be set per request. Matches the category key on a row of the per-category breakdown.

Possible values (may grow over time): authentication, utility, marketing

phone_numberstring

Restrict the statistics to a single business sender phone number, in E.164 form. Mutually exclusive with the other dimension filters (template, category, tag); only one may be set per request. Matches the phone_number key on a row of the per-phone-number breakdown.

tagstring

Restrict the statistics to a single tag. Use name to match any value of a tag, or name:value for a specific pair (for example campaign:spring_launch). Mutually exclusive with the other dimension filters (template, category, phone_number); only one may be set per request. A row of the per-tag breakdown carries the same pair in its single tag key.

Response Payload

period
object
required

The window and bucket grain the response covers, echoed from the request, plus the freshness boundary the data is current to.

Show child attributes
data
array of object
required

One row per day or hour in chronological order. Buckets with no activity contain zero counts.

Show child attributes
data.bucket
string
required

The day (YYYY-MM-DD) or hour (RFC 3339, on the hour) this point covers, matching the period's grain.

data.delivery
object
required

WhatsApp lifecycle counts for a time bucket, attributed by send time. A message accepted on Monday and delivered on Tuesday counts in Monday's bucket. The sibling engagement block reports read counts. Rates are available only for the whole period. Very large counts are close estimates rather than exact tallies.

Show child attributes
data.engagement
object
required

WhatsApp engagement counts for a time bucket, attributed by send time. A message accepted on Monday and read on Tuesday counts in Monday's bucket. Read rates are available only for the whole period. Very large counts are close estimates rather than exact tallies.

Show child attributes
data.latency
object
required

Latency percentiles in milliseconds for the requested scope:

  • processing: From acceptance to WhatsApp handoff.
  • delivery: From WhatsApp handoff to delivery confirmation.
  • total: From acceptance to delivery confirmation.

Each family is omitted when no qualifying message contributes a measurement. Individual percentiles can also be null. delivery is measured on a best-effort basis, so it can be absent for a scope whose processing and total are present.

Show child attributes
data.latency.processing
object

Approximate p50, p95, and p99 latency percentiles in milliseconds for one latency family. All three are null when no qualifying event contributed a measurement.

Show child attributes
data.latency.delivery
object

Approximate p50, p95, and p99 latency percentiles in milliseconds for one latency family. All three are null when no qualifying event contributed a measurement.

Show child attributes
data.latency.delivery.p50_ms
nullable integer
required

Median (50th percentile) latency in milliseconds. Null when no qualifying event contributed a measurement.

data.latency.delivery.p95_ms
nullable integer
required

95th percentile latency in milliseconds. Null when no qualifying event contributed a measurement.

data.latency.delivery.p99_ms
nullable integer
required

99th percentile latency in milliseconds. Null when no qualifying event contributed a measurement.

data.latency.total
object

Approximate p50, p95, and p99 latency percentiles in milliseconds for one latency family. All three are null when no qualifying event contributed a measurement.
