Numverify API

aid: numverify
name: Numverify API
description: Numverify is a free and simple REST API for national and international phone number validation and lookup across
  232 countries, operated by APILayer (an Idera, Inc. brand). A single validate call returns whether a number is valid along
  with its local and international formats, country code and name, approximate location, carrier, and line type (mobile or
  landline). Authentication is by API key with two published bases — the legacy apilayer.net host (access_key query parameter)
  and the newer api.apilayer.com marketplace host (apikey header) — and access is metered by monthly request quota across
  free and paid plans.
