The paths and payloads differ, so it is a port rather than a swap. The published OpenAPI document makes the port mechanical, because you can generate a client for the new contract instead of transcribing documentation by hand, and the migration concept map on the alternative page lists each Whapi.cloud concept beside the Wapito operation.","Is Wapito a drop-in replacement for Whapi.cloud?",{"a":20,"q":21},"A longer production history, a broader set of message types such as carousel and interactive messages that the underlying engines do not render reliably in 2026, business objects such as catalogue and labels on every channel rather than on one engine, group call links, and an activity safety meter.
