Options

Filters

NameDescription
--capabilities <value>…Filter by capability. Repeat the parameter to require several at once: capabilities=sms&capabilities=voice returns only numbers that support both. Known values: sms, voice (others may exist).
--country-codeFilter by the country a number belongs to, as an ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code.
--numberReturn only the number matching these digits. Give a full number with its country code, however your own records spell it: +12025550188, 12025550188, 0012025550188, and +1 202 555 0188 all resolve to the same number. Spacing and punctuation are fine once a leading + or 00 marks the country code, or when country_code names the country; a grouped spelling without either is refused rather than guessed at, and a national spelling (bare digits without the country code) matches only when country_code names the country. A short code is matched on its bare digits instead, and since the same short code can be allocated in more than one country, pass country_code alongside it to name which one. This filter narrows the list like the others rather than replacing them, so a country or capability filter still applies. To match a range of numbers rather than one, use prefix.
--number-typeReturn only allocated numbers of this physical type after applying the country and prefix filters. Known values: mobile, local, national, short_code, short_code_fteu, toll_free (others may exist).
--prefixReturn only numbers that start with these digits. With country_code, the digits are national ones, matched right after the country dial code: with country_code=US, prefix=212 returns the +1 212 area-code numbers allocated to you. Leave out the dial code and any national dialing prefix such as a leading 0; short codes never match a country-anchored prefix search. Without country_code, the digits are matched from the start of each stored number, ignoring a leading +, so short codes are reachable and a full number in digits finds itself. Digits only: up to 10 of them with country_code, 15 without.
--response-schemaPrint the fields this command returns, then exit

Pagination

NameDescription
--ending-beforeCursor from the prev_cursor or refresh_cursor field of a previous list response. Returns items immediately before the cursor position in the current sort order. prev_cursor returns the preceding page. refresh_cursor anchors at the first row of that response, which on a newest-first sort is how to fetch the items that have appeared since.
--limit <n>Maximum number of items to return per page.
--starting-afterCursor from the next_cursor field of a previous list response. Returns items immediately after the cursor position in the current sort order.
