Hi, Does anyone know of an API that will give accurate results to see if a calling number is spam? The ones available on twillio seem to be geared to US phone numbers. When we try numbers that are set listed as spam in true caller they show clean on all the API's that twillio offers. Does anyone know of any other API's that offer something more accurate like TrueCaller? TIA. Dovid

I fear that is an endless game of whack-a-mole now. Neighbor scams that use the same NPA/NXX as the called number and using legitimate number spoofs (like IRS, Utility Company, etc.) are really impossible to just outright block. I have been following and reading some things about this company that might be of interest to you though: https://firstorion.com <https://firstorion.com/> Brandon

The options that Twillios has is actually not that bad for the US. Our issue is that we have a large customer presence in Europe and there isn't really a service that works for us. I wish TrueCaller would allow access to their API. On Tue, Dec 17, 2019 at 12:56 PM Brandon Svec <bsvec at teamonesolutions.com> wrote:

Nomorobo has an API as a paid service. Still only US-based AFAIK. On Tue, 17 Dec 2019, Dovid Bender wrote:
