Get outbound WhatsApp statistics by template category
Returns lifecycle counts and delivery rates for WhatsApp messages grouped by template category for the requested period. Rows are ranked by accepted volume descending and capped at the requested limit (default 50, max 200). Rows use send-time attribution. A delivery confirmed during the period for a message accepted earlier counts against the earlier period. A recent period therefore under-reports delivered while delivery reports are still arriving, and its counts grow as reports arrive. The maximum window is 365 days; a longer range returns 422. A breakdown is already a single-dimension view and takes no dimension filter; to restrict statistics to a single template, category, phone number or tag, use the summary, daily or hourly statistics instead. Each row also carries the same three latency families as the summary: processing, delivery and total. delivery is measured from a best-effort handoff timestamp that a fast delivery callback can beat, so it can be absent for a row whose other two families are present.

Query parameters
Inclusive start of the window, a calendar day (YYYY-MM-DD). Interpreted in timezone, or UTC when omitted. Must not be after to. Max window 365 days. Defaults to 30 days before to when omitted.
Inclusive end of the window, a calendar day (YYYY-MM-DD). Interpreted in timezone, or UTC when omitted. Max window 365 days. Defaults to today in that timezone when omitted.
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.
Maximum number of template-category rows to return, ranked by accepted volume descending.
Headers
Workspace context for the request. Required for dashboard authentication and master keys. Workspace keys and access tokens already identify their workspace; send that workspace or omit the header. A different one is rejected.
Organization context for the request. Required for dashboard authentication. An API key or access token carries its own organization, so send either that organization or no header at all; a different one is rejected.
Response
Per-template-category breakdown for the requested period.
