how can i create an api for whatsapp or instagram
basically, if the user enters the phone number it will search for the number and get the current photo on whatsapp, on instagram just put the @ and get the photo.

how can i do this? i know a bit about node.js
 
just ask chatgpt to explain the process to you, and give you pseudo code first.

You just need to create a server online or with something like https://rapidapi.com/hub then you have end points on your server, that talk to your users that query it.

So first thing is you need a domain with web hosting and node.js, although other languages are available! lol

*Top Tip
Use postman software to query and test your API in development stage.

You mean for postman? or for the task in general? Chatgpt will have access to the documentation, if not it will search for the latest. I'm not sure if what you say is possible, to build your API, will depend on the API of whatsapp and Instagram, so spend plenty of time investigating that first, as that's your key stumbling block, so if you can solve that and confirm you can do the actions via the whats app API, and Instagram API, then test your functionality quickly in an hour using the API software postman, and once you know the code works, you can generate the nodjs code I think from directly inside postman to use for your web app.
