Quickstart - Advanced Number Search

| cURL | Python | Node | Ruby |


cURL

This quickstart will cover what you need to know about performing advanced number searches for US/CA numbers, or any number that begins with the country code +1. See here to check if that includes the country/territory you desire. For details on how to search any other international numbers follow our International Number Search & Order guide.

When performing your search, * matches any character; TELE matches "8353"; && matches "11", "22", etc. You can also use consecutive to search for numbers in sequence e.g. xxx-xxx-1234, xxx-xxx-1235.

To show all available filters, see the full documentation here

Check out the Development Environment Setup guide to acquire your API Key and set up a Telnyx SDK if applicable.

curl -X GET \
--header "Accept: application/json" \
--header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
--globoff "https://api.telnyx.com/v2/available_phone_numbers?filter[country_code][]=US&filter[locality][]=Chicago&filter[administrative_area][]=IL&filter[features][]=sms&filter[limit][]=2"
