API V4 – Search by Phone Number

The /v4/search/phone/ endpoint lets you load the list of carriers whose email address matches your search.

The key distinction between this endpoint and /v4/search/dot/ is that this endpoint returns a list of carriers, not an in-depth profile, even if only one carrier matches to the search phrase.

Notes on this endpoint:

  1. Authentication via header. To authenticate your API call, pass in your public API key with the X-Api-Key HTTP header.
