# Proper Phone Number Format for WhatsApp Number Checker API

Using the WhatsApp Number Checker API to confirm a phone number's WhatsApp status requires strict adherence to the correct number format. Here's how to format your phone number for successful verification:

**Format Your Phone Number**:

To achieve accurate WhatsApp status checks, you must input the phone number with the associated country code, excluding the "+" sign. The API endpoint will analyze the number based on this format.

**Example Format**:

For instance, if the phone number is +1 (408) 374-2784, it should be entered as "**14083742784**," devoid of spaces or special characters.

The key parameter for this API is "number." This parameter carries the phone number you want to verify.
