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 ## Phone Number Validator & Formatter Validate, normalize and classify phone numbers **fully offline** using Google's libphonenumber. The phone analog of an email verifier — clean your contact lists before you call or text. No API key, **no network**, no proxies — every check runs locally against bundled metadata. ### What you get per number - **valid** / **possible** flags + a `status` - **E.164** (`+14155550132`), **national**, and **international** formats - **Country** & **region code**, **calling code** - **Line type** — mobile / fixed line / VoIP / toll-free / premium-rate … - **Carrier** (best-effort) ### Input ```json { "phones": ["+1 415 555 0132", "+212 661-234567", "020 7946 0958"], "defaultRegion": "US", "onlyValid": false } ```` Set `defaultRegion` (e.g. `US`, `MA`, `FR`, `GB`) so local numbers without a `+` prefix parse correctly. ### Output | input | valid | e164 | country | number\_type | carrier | status | |-------|-------|------|---------|-------------|---------|--------| | +1 415 555 0132 | true | +14155550132 | United States | fixed\_line\_or\_mobile | — | valid | | not a phone | false | — | — | — | — | parse\_error | Export to CSV, JSON, or Excel. ### Pricing Pay-per-result — charged per number validated. No subscription. # Actor input Schema ## `phones` (type: `array`): Phone numbers to validate, one per line. International (+1...) or local numbers (set the default region for local ones). ## `defaultRegion` (type: `string`): Two-letter country code used to parse local numbers without a + prefix (e.g. 'US', 'MA', 'FR', 'GB'). ## `onlyValid` (type: `boolean`): Keep only numbers that pass full validation. ## `dedupe` (type: `boolean`): Drop duplicate inputs before validating. ## Actor input object example ```json { "phones": [ "+1 415 555 0132", "+212 661-234567", "020 7946 0958", "not a phone" ], "defaultRegion": "US", "onlyValid": false, "dedupe": true } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
