NEW API ALERT: Searchbug's Hybrid Phone Validation Bulk API Now Available

We’ve got some great news to share! Our brand-new Phone Validation Bulk API is here, and it will make high-volume phone validation easier than ever. Whether you’re handling 10 or 10,000 phone numbers, this API can process them all in one go. It’s like having the best of both worlds—a seamless hybrid between our Batch system and API.

We initially built this solution for a Salesforce CRM developer who needed to validate large amounts of phone numbers quickly, and we’re already using it internally with our Zoho CRM. Now, it’s available for anyone managing high-volume phone validations—and trust us, you’ll love how efficient and easy it is!?

What's Phone Validation Bulk API?

This API is tailor-made for businesses that handle large amounts of phone records and need to validate them quickly and efficiently. Here’s what it can do:

• Phone Line Type Identification: It determines whether the phone number is a landline, cell phone, or VoIP.
• Carrier Information: The API provides carrier details like the name of the phone company, OCN number, and location.
• Ported Numbers and Line Status: You can check if a number was ported to a different carrier and whether it’s active or disconnected.
• SMS Email Lookup: The API can return an SMS email address for cell phone numbers.
• Do Not Call (DNC) List Check: Ensure compliance by checking if numbers are on Federal and State DNC lists.
• TCPA Litigator Status: The API can also detect whether a number has been involved in TCPA lawsuits or associated with TCPA litigators.

This API only supports US phone numbers, and with our cumulative pricing model, the more records you process each month, the lower the cost per query. This pricing structure is ideal for companies that process high volumes of phone numbers, as you’ll get more value with increased usage.

How It Works: Phone Validation Bulk API Guide Overview

1. Send API: Your system sends a list of phone numbers along with their record IDs via POST in JSON format to the Send API. We then accept the data, process the payment, and start an asynchronous (offline) process to validate those numbers.

2. Real-Time Status Updates: Once the process begins, you’ll get immediate feedback from the Send API. This includes the status (success or failure), the number of phone records received, the service selected, an estimated completion time, cost, payment ID, and any error details. Most importantly, you’ll receive a unique KEY to retrieve your results later via the Receive API.

3. Receive API: Once your validation process is complete, schedule the Receive API to retrieve the results. Use the KEY from the Send API to check the processing status and download your data.

• If the processing is still in progress, the API will return a “Running” status, along with the number of records processed so far and the estimated time to complete.
• If the process is complete, you’ll receive the data in JSON (default) or XML format.
• If something went wrong, the API will show a “Stopped” or “Error” status, with specific error details.

Who Will Benefit from Phone Validation Bulk API?

This API was designed with high-volume users in mind. Whether you’re running a CRM like Salesforce or Zoho or handling marketing campaigns where phone validation is key, this tool fits seamlessly into your workflow. Plus, with cumulative monthly volume pricing, the more you use it, the cheaper each query gets, adding cost efficiency to the convenience of bulk validation.

What's the Difference of this Hybrid API with Traditional APIs?

Unlike traditional GET APIs, where every request gets processed one-at-a-time, our Bulk API runs like a batch process. Once submitted, your list moves into an asynchronous processing queue, visible from the Bulk dashboard, providing flexibility and control. This unique hybrid approach lets us handle thousands of records simultaneously without overwhelming your system with instant callbacks.
