Search, provision, and manage phone numbers globally. Local, toll-free, mobile, and short code numbers with instant activation.
Bird's Numbers API lets you search available phone numbers by country, region, number type, and even pattern matching — then provision them with a single API call. Numbers are activated instantly with no manual process or carrier paperwork. What used to take weeks of carrier negotiations now takes milliseconds.
Search available numbers by country, region, area code, capabilities (SMS, MMS, voice, fax), and vanity pattern matching. The API returns real-time inventory with pricing and activation time per number.
Provision numbers via API with instant activation — no manual approval process, no carrier forms. Numbers are ready to send and receive messages within seconds of the API response.
Local, toll-free, mobile, and short code numbers in 100+ countries. Each number type has different capabilities, pricing, and regulatory requirements — the API surfaces all of this in the search response.
Once provisioned, numbers can be configured for specific capabilities, ported from other providers, and managed programmatically. Bird handles regulatory compliance automatically — address verification, identity documents, and local registration requirements are submitted through the API with guided workflows.
Port existing numbers from any provider to Bird with a guided API-driven workflow. The system validates port eligibility, submits the LOA, and tracks porting status with real-time webhook updates. Most US ports complete in 1-2 weeks.
Configure SMS, MMS, voice, and fax capabilities per number via API. Enable or disable channels dynamically, set webhook URLs per capability, and manage number-level rate limits and routing rules.
Automated address verification and regulatory document submission for countries that require local presence. The API guides you through required fields per country and validates submissions before sending to regulators.
We provision local numbers in 30+ countries through Bird's API. What used to take weeks of carrier negotiations now takes a single API call.
