Phone

Validate a phone number

Validate and enrich one phone number using a JSON or form body. api_key and phone_number are required in the body. When country_code is omitted or set to none, send a full international number including its country calling code, preferably in E.164 form. A local or national number requires country_code. One credit is deducted from phoneapi_balance per successful validation. The empty OpenAPI security override does not mean this operation accepts unauthenticated requests; OpenAPI 3.0 cannot represent an API key located in a request body.

Request body

phone_numberstring required

Phone number to validate. When country_code is omitted or set to none, send the complete international number, preferably in E.164 form, including the leading + and country calling code (for example, +14155552671). A local or national number requires country_code (for example, phone_number=9876543210 with country_code=IN). Percent-encode a leading + as %2B in a GET URL.

country_codestring

Optional ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country hint such as US, IN, or GB. This is a country identifier, not a numeric calling prefix such as +1 or +91. Omit it, or use the literal value none, only with a complete international phone_number.

Your ProWebLook API key.
