bird whatsapp numbers precheck

Usage

bird whatsapp numbers precheck <phone-number> [flags]

Description

Check a number against WhatsApp

Check whether WhatsApp will accept a phone number before buying it: take a number from bird numbers available list, check it here, and order it with bird numbers orders create only if this check answers available. It is a write rather than a lookup, so check the number you intend to buy rather than sweeping a list of candidates, and reuse an Idempotency-Key to get the stored answer back instead of asking WhatsApp again.

Build the request from the <phone_number> argument, a JSON WhatsAppNumberPrecheckRequest body via --body-file ("-" reads stdin), or both — an inline value overrides the matching body field. Run --example to print a ready-to-edit body, or --dry-run to print the resolved request without sending it.

Examples

# print the body shape (no credentials needed)
bird whatsapp numbers precheck --example

# the body it prints:

{
  "phone_number": "+31612345678"
}
