Returns phone numbers available for purchase in a country. Narrow the search with number_type, capabilities, and prefix. Inventory numbers come first and support pagination. The final page can include a live snapshot of numbers available from suppliers.
Inventory results are newest first by default. When you specify number_type and the suppliers on sale in the market are ranked into multiple priority tiers, results follow supplier priority, newest first within each tier. These searches reject ending_before and return neither prev_cursor nor refresh_cursor, so backward and refresh paging are unavailable. Country-only searches and markets with a single tier keep newest-first inventory ordering and support backward and refresh paging.
Query Parameters
country_codestringISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code to search in.
number_typestringReturn only numbers of this physical type after applying the country and prefix filters.
Possible values (may grow over time): mobile, local, national, short_code, short_code_fteu, toll_free
prefixstringReturn only numbers that start with these digits, matched right after the country dial code: with country_code=US, prefix=212 matches +1 212 area-code numbers and prefix=833 matches 833 toll-free numbers. Digits only. Leave out the country dial code and any national dialing prefix such as a leading 0. Short codes never match a prefix search.
capabilitiesarrayFilter by capability. Repeat the parameter to require several at once: capabilities=sms&capabilities=voice returns only numbers that support both.
limitintegerMaximum number of items to return per page.
starting_afterstringCursor from the next_cursor field of a previous list response. Returns items immediately after the cursor position in the current sort order.
ending_beforestringCursor 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.
Response Payload
dataShow child attributes
data.numberPhone number in E.164 format.
data.country_codeISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code.
data.number_typePhysical type of this phone number.
data.capabilitiesCapabilities supported by this number.
data.ownership_registration_requiredWhether ownership paperwork must be approved before outbound SMS and voice use. Customer availability accounts for organization exemptions; admin supplier searches report the general country and number-type requirement. You can acquire the number, including Bird stock, and submit paperwork afterward. Any setup fee is charged during purchase. Monthly billing starts at assignment even while approval is pending; assignment may follow completion of a pending supplier order.
data.ownership_address_scopeWhere the carrier requires the business address on this number's ownership registration to be. Present only when the carrier itself registers the number before it carries traffic and states a rule; omitted otherwise. An address that does not meet the rule is refused after purchase, and only an address that meets it can fix the registration.
anywhere: any business address.country: a business address in the number's country.number_area: a business address inside the number's own area code, for example in Amsterdam for an Amsterdam (020) number.
Possible values (may grow over time): anywhere, country, number_area
next_cursorCursor for the next page. Pass back as starting_after to advance forward. null when no next page exists.
prev_cursorCursor for the previous page. Pass back as ending_before to step backward. null when no previous page exists.
refresh_cursorRefresh anchor, the first row of this response. Pass back as ending_before to fetch what precedes it in the current sort order. On a newest-first sort those are the items that have appeared since; on any other sort they are the items that sort earlier, so refreshing such a list means re-fetching it instead. Non-null whenever data is non-empty; null only on an empty page. Distinct from prev_cursor.
