🔌 Use inside Clay (bring-your-own enrichment)

Clay users pay only orchestration Actions when they bring their own provider keys. Call this Actor as an HTTP API carrier and line-type validation enrichment column:

1. In Clay, add an HTTP API column (POST https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/diRRJe93naJq3Zmgb/runs?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN)
2. Body: the same JSON you would paste into the Input tab
3. Map the returned dataset rows back into your table

At ~$0.001-0.008 per result with zero seat minimums, this is typically 10-50x cheaper per enriched row than native Clay data credits.

⚡ Live API (Standby beta)

This Actor also runs as a live API — no run startup wait. Send an HTTP request to the Standby URL (see the Endpoints tab) and get validation results instantly.

• GET /lookup?phone=%2B14155552671 — validate one number (%2B = the leading +)
• GET /lookup?phones=%2B1415...,%2B4420... — up to 100 numbers per request
• POST /lookup — JSON body {"phone": "+..."} or {"phones": ["+...", ...], "maxResults": 100}

Response: {"results": [{input, valid, normalized, formatted, country, iso2, lineType, carrier, timezone, spamScore, riskTier, ...}]}

Notes: Standby responses are not written to the dataset requests from all users share the warm instance, so nothing is stored). For bulk lists up to 1,000 numbers per run, use the normal batch mode.
