Phone Number Validator & Enrichment Scraper (Bulk)

What does Phone Number Validator & Enrichment Scraper (Bulk) do?

Phone Number Validator & Enrichment checks any list of phone numbers in bulk. For every number you get validity, E.164, national and international formats, country, line type (mobile, landline, VoIP and more), the original carrier, the geographic area, time zones and a WhatsApp-ready flag. Everything is computed offline from the libphonenumber metadata, so a run is fast and no number is ever called or contacted. Paste numbers one per row or as a spreadsheet column, set a default country for national formats, and export clean JSON, CSV or Excel. Turn on monitoring to re-check a list on a schedule.

Key features

• ✅ Validity check - every number is parsed and marked valid or invalid, with a separate possible-length check and the exact parse error for unreadable input.
• 🔢 E.164, national and international formats - one clean, dialable format per number plus an RFC 3966 tel: link, ready for CRMs and dialers.
• 📱 Line type and WhatsApp-ready flag - mobile, landline, VoIP, toll-free and more, with a flag for numbers that can plausibly hold a WhatsApp account. No live registration check is made.
• 🏢 Carrier, location and time zones - the original carrier, the city or region and the time zones for each number, computed offline.
• 🌍 Default country for national numbers - numbers written without a + prefix are read against one ISO country code.
• 🧹 Only-valid mode - drop invalid numbers so every row you receive is usable.
• ♻️ List monitoring - incremental mode flags NEW and UPDATED numbers between runs.
• 🔔 Notifications and MCP - push changes to Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp or a webhook, and use compact output for AI-agent workflows.

What data can you get for each phone number?

Each result includes Core phone number fields (listingId, title, input, valid, possible, parseError, e164, and national, and more). In standard mode, all fields are always present — unavailable data points are returned as null, never omitted. In compact mode, only core fields are returned.

Input

The main inputs are a result limit. Additional filters and options are available in the input schema.

Key parameters:

• phoneNumbers — Phone numbers to validate and enrich - one per row. International format (+4915123456789) works anywhere; national numbers need a Default Country below. Extensions are kept (+1 415 555 2671 ext. 123). (default: ["+14155552671","+12015550123","+442071838750","+447400123456","+4520123456","+4930123456","+4915123456789","+33142685300","+33612345678","+46701234567","+4722123456","+919876543210","+5511987654321","+61412345678"])
• phoneNumbersText — Optional. Paste numbers separated by new lines, commas or semicolons, for example a spreadsheet column. Combined with the list above; repeated numbers are looked up once.
• defaultCountry — Two-letter ISO country code (DK, US, DE...) used to read numbers written without a +country prefix. Numbers that already start with + ignore it. Leave empty to require international format.
• includeGeoCarrier — Add the original carrier, the geographic area (city or region) and the time zones for each number. Turn off for the fastest, smallest output with validity and formats only. (default: true)
• onlyValid — Drop numbers that are not valid, so every row you get (and pay for) is a usable number. Max Results then counts valid numbers only. Off keeps one row per input, with the reason when a number is invalid. (default: false)
• maxResults — Maximum number of phone numbers to return per run (0 = unlimited). With Only valid numbers on, it counts valid numbers. (default: 100)
• compact — Only the at-a-glance fields (input, validity, E.164, international format, country, line type, carrier, location, WhatsApp-ready). Ideal for AI-agent / MCP workflows. (default: false)
• excludeEmptyFields — Drop null / empty-string / empty-array fields (and fully-null nested objects like socialProfiles) from each output record. Off by default to preserve dataset schema compatibility; turn on to slim output for LLM / agent consumption. (default: false)
• incrementalMode — Compare against the previous run: only numbers whose enrichment is new or changed are returned. The state key is optional and defaults to a value derived from the numbers and settings, so different lists never share state. (default: false)
• stateKey — Optional. Stable identifier for the tracked search universe. Leave empty to auto-generate from search inputs.
• emitUnchanged — Also emit numbers whose enrichment has not changed since the last run (incrementalMode only). (default: false)
• ...and 13 more parameters

Input examples

Check a few numbers — International numbers need no default country.

→ one record per number

{
  "phoneNumbers": [
    "+14155552671",
    "+442071838750",
    "+4915123456789",
    "+33612345678"
  ]
}

National format with a default country — Numbers without a + prefix are read against the default country.

→ one record per number

{
  "phoneNumbersText": "33123456\n20123456",
  "defaultCountry": "DK"
}

Valid numbers only, compact — Drops invalid numbers and keeps the at-a-glance fields.

→ valid numbers only

{
  "phoneNumbers": [
    "+14155552671",
    "+442071838750",
    "+4915123456789"
  ],
  "onlyValid": true,
  "compact": true
}

Watch for changes — Incremental mode emits only numbers whose enrichment changed since the last run.

→ changed numbers only

{
  "phoneNumbers": [
    "+14155552671",
    "+442071838750"
  ],
  "incrementalMode": true,
  "stateKey": "phone-watch",
  "notifyOnlyChanges": true
}

Incremental fields

When incremental mode is on, each record also carries:

• changeType — one of NEW (a phone number not seen in an earlier run with the same state key) or UPDATED (its validity, line type, carrier or location changed since that run). Set emitUnchanged: true to also receive UNCHANGED records.
