What is the difference between Meta Cloud API and On-Premises API?

Meta Cloud API is hosted by Meta on their servers, requiring no infrastructure from your side. The On-Premises API required you to host Docker containers on your own servers. Meta is deprecating the On-Premises API in favor of Cloud API, which offers easier setup, automatic updates, and better scalability.

Is Meta Cloud API free to use?

The API access itself is free. You pay per conversation: business-initiated conversations have a per-conversation fee that varies by country, while user-initiated conversations that you respond to within 24 hours may have lower costs or be free depending on your region and volume tier.

How do I get started with Meta Cloud API?

Create a Meta Business account, set up a WhatsApp Business Account in the Meta Business Manager, register a phone number, and configure your webhook endpoint. Platforms like Tecca handle this entire setup process, letting you focus on configuring your bot rather than managing API infrastructure.
