API Integration:
Most sophisticated phone number availability checkers are offered as a Service-as-a-Service (SaaS) model, accessed primarily through RESTful APIs (Representational State Interfaces). This means developers can integrate the checker's functionality directly into their existing applications, websites, CRM systems, or internal tools using simple HTTP requests.
The typical API workflow involves:
Request: An application sends an HTTP GET or POST request to the checker's API endpoint, including argentina phone number list the phone number to be validated (and often the country code for international numbers).
Processing: The checker's backend system receives the request and initiates its validation process, querying various data sources.
Response: The checker returns an HTTP response, typically formatted in JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) or XML, containing the validation results.
A typical JSON response might include:
is_valid: Boolean (true/false) indicating syntax validity.
is_active: Boolean (true/false) indicating if the number is currently in service.
line_type: String (e.g., "mobile", "landline", "voip").
carrier: String (the name of the current mobile or landline carrier).
country_code: String (e.g., "US", "GB").
country_name: String (e.g., "United States", "United Kingdom").
original_format: The number in its original input format.
e164_format: The number formatted according to the E.164 standard.
local_format: The number in its local format.
is_ported: Boolean (true/false) if the number has been ported.
risk_score: (Optional) A numerical indicator of potential fraud.
