  title: tyntec Phone Number Intelligence Number Information API
  description: "Phone number intelligence surface of the tyntec CPaaS platform, grouping the number-verification and number-information services that answer the question \"is this phone number real, reachable, and what network is it on?\" before you save it in a CRM, message it, or call it. It combines two live tyntec products under one apikey-authenticated REST surface:\n- The Verify API (base path /verify/v1) lets you define reusable criteria\n  templates and validate a phone number against them - number format /\n  validity, active subscriber (reachability) status, line type\n  (mobile / fixed / VoIP), operator / carrier, country of origin, MCC/MNC,\n  and disposable-number detection.\n\n- The Number Information Services (base path /nis/v1) provide global network\n  lookups: HLR (Home Location Register) real-time reachability and roaming\n  state via GNV, and Global Number Portability (GNP) to resolve the operator\n  a number has been ported to.\n\nAll requests authenticate with an account API key sent in the `apikey` request header. Endpoints and paths below are grounded in tyntec's public API reference (api.tyntec.com/reference) and the tyntec/api-collection OpenAPI definitions; request/response schemas here are modeled from that documentation and simplified for cataloging - consult the live reference for exhaustive field-level detail."
