You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events. Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Greip's Phone Number Scoring A robust Apify Actor that validates and analyzes phone numbers using the **Greip Phone Number Scoring API**. This tool helps identify disposable, temporary, and VoIP phone numbers to enhance fraud detection and improve data quality. ### 🚀 Features - **Phone Number Validation**: Comprehensive syntax validation and operational assessment - **Disposable Number Detection**: Identify temporary and disposable phone numbers - **VoIP Service Detection**: Detect numbers associated with VoIP services - **Carrier Information**: Get carrier details for phone numbers - **Structured Output**: Clean, well-formatted JSON results stored in datasets ### Input Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | | ------------- | ------ | -------- | -------------------------------------------- | | `phone` | string | ✅ | Phone number to validate and analyze | | `countryCode` | string | ✅ | ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code (e.g., "US") | | `userID` | string | ❌ | Optional user identifier for tracking | ### Output Format The Actor outputs detailed information about each phone number: ```json { "phone": "+905343192830", "carrier": "Turkcell", "countryCode": "TR", "disposable": false, "isValid": true, "reason": "" } ```` #### Output Field Descriptions **Phone Number Analysis Fields:** - `isValid`: Boolean indicating if the phone number is 100% safe and valid - `disposable`: Boolean indicating if the phone number is disposable, temporary, or VoIP - `reason`: Human-readable explanation of why the number is considered risky (empty if `isValid` is `true`) - `carrier`: The name of the carrier/service provider for the phone number - `phone`: The phone number that was analyzed - `countryCode`: The ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code associated with the phone number ### Use Cases This Actor is perfect for: - **Fraud Prevention**: Detect temporary and disposable phone numbers often used in fraudulent activities - **User Registration**: Validate phone numbers during user sign-up to ensure legitimate contact information - **SMS Marketing**: Filter out invalid and VoIP numbers to improve campaign effectiveness - **Multi-Account Detection**: Identify users attempting to create multiple accounts with disposable numbers - **Data Quality**: Ensure phone number databases contain only valid, operational numbers - **Customer Verification**: Verify the legitimacy of customer-provided phone numbers ### Phone Number Formats Supported The API accepts phone numbers in various formats: - `+905343192830` (International format with + sign) - `00905343192830` (International format with 00 prefix) - `905343192830` (Without international prefix) - `5343192830` (Local format) ### Your feedback We're always working on improving the performance of our Actors. If you have any technical feedback for phone number scoring or found a bug, please create an issue in the [Issues tab](https://apify.com/greip/phone-scoring/issues/open). # Actor input Schema ## `phone` (type: `string`): Phone number to validate and score using Greip Phone Number Scoring API. Can be in various formats like +905343192830, 00905343192830, 905343192830, or 5343192830. ## `countryCode` (type: `string`): ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code of the phone number (e.g., US, UK, TR). Required for improved validation accuracy. ## `userID` (type: `string`): Optional user identifier for tracking requests in the Greip dashboard (e.g., email address, user ID, name). ## Actor input object example ```json { "phone": "+905343192830", "countryCode": "TR" } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `phoneScores` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "phone": "+905343192830", "countryCode": "TR" }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("greip/phone-scoring").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
