Answer
The phone number provided to the Number Insights API can be either in the international format or in a local format, accompanied by a country code (parametrized additionally as "&country=<CC>", where <CC> is the two character country code for the country that the number is from). The API takes care of numbers in different formats, accommodating for symbols such as +, -, (, ), and spaces. Additionally, Number Insights also understands Phonewords so alphanumeric special numbers are also accepted.
Examples of acceptable numbers:
- number=+99 (999) 999-9999
- number=+999999999999
- number=+9999999NEXMO
- number=9999999999&country=GB
- number=0999999999&country=GB
If a number is not in any acceptable format, or violates the standard E.164 rules, the API will reject it.
