# Look up carrier + line type

`GET /v1/messaging/sms/lookup`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://apihub.co.il`
- URL: `https://apihub.co.il/v1/messaging/sms/lookup`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Carrier name and line type (mobile / landline / voip / toll-free) for a
number, plus `smsReachable`. Use it to
validate recipients before sending. Each lookup is billed by the
carrier-data provider, so call it explicitly (e.g. pre-validating an
opt-in list), not on every send.


**Billing:** Read (free unless it says otherwise) · **Rate limit:** 120/min

## Query parameters

- `number` string, required: Number to look up (E.164; formatting is normalized).

## Headers

- `Idempotency-Key` string
- `X-Tag` string

## Response `200`

Completed

- object
  - `id` string: Execution id — stable across internal retries; use it with GET /v1/executions/{id}
  - `status` 'pending' | 'processing' | 'completed' | 'partial' | 'failed' | 'cancelled' | 'timeout'
  - `operation` string
  - `tag` string, nullable: Your X-Tag, if sent
  - `created_at` string, date-time
  - `completed_at` string, date-time, nullable
  - `output` object: Operation result (see each operation). While a Studio render is processing: `stage` (queued · transcribing · downloading · preparing · cleaning_voice · mixing_audio · rendering · finishing), `phase` (the engine's: download · prepare · voice · audio · encode · qa · upload, or null), `progress` (a percent, 0–100) and `progress_fraction` (0–1), `eta_seconds` (seconds left, never below 0) and `estimate_seconds`
    - `lineType` 'mobile' | 'landline' | 'voip' | 'toll-free' | 'unknown'
    - `carrierName` string, nullable
    - `phoneNumber` string
    - `smsReachable` boolean: False for landlines, toll-free numbers, ambiguous fixed-or-mobile lines and carriers whose numbers are not SMS-routable. True is a best guess, not a delivery guarantee.
  - `error` string, nullable
  - `usage` object
    - `credits_charged` number, nullable
    - `credits_reserved` number
    - `estimated_credits` number
    - `cost_source` 'provider_reported' | 'calculated' | 'estimated' | 'null', nullable
    - `provider_usage` object, nullable: Normalised consumption, e.g. { VIDEO_SECOND: 22.4 }
  - `balance` object
    - `available` number
    - `reserved` number
