Possible user input variants
For all requests, the country and in_phone input arguments will be used. The country input argument may be left blank if you precede the actual phone number with the country calling code in the in_phone input argument.
If desired, you can enter a list of phone numbers, provided they originate from the same country.
For user input, the following rules apply:
Country code
Each input requires a country code. You can specify the country code in two ways
-
in the country input argument or
-
if country is empty, enter the country calling code in the in_phone input argument using E.123 format. In E.123 format, the international country calling code is preceded by a + sign, serving as an international prefix symbol.
Example for Germany: +49.
If you enter both a country code and a country calling code, the service will determine the country from the country calling code.
Fixed line numbers
You must always indicate the local area code. A variety of notations is supported for the input: For example, the local area code can be put in parentheses or not; the local area code can be entered with or without a leading zero; or there may be a blank between the local area code and the local number.
Permitted input combinations
| Description | Example |
|---|---|
