Powerful APIs to Aid in Your Authentication, Verification & Validation

#

ANI-Based Authentications

#

ANI TYPE Authentications

#

TWO FACTOR AUTHENTICATIONS

“The quality of your decisions is limited only by the quality of your information.”

ANI-BASED AUTHENTICATIONS via API

ANI-Based Authentication helps organizations verify caller identities, validate account ownership, reduce fraud risk, and make more informed authentication decisions using trusted telecom intelligence.  Businesses use this data to verify identities, validate account ownership, reduce fraud risk, and support critical decision-making processes based on their specific industry needs and use cases. 

LRN ONLY LOOKUP

LRN ONLY LOOKUP

LRN ONLY LOOKUP INFORMATION FLOW DIAGRAM

The LRN ONLY LOOKUP API returns the Local Routing Number (LRN) for any U.S. telephone number, helping carriers, communications platforms, and fraud prevention providers make accurate routing and authentication decisions. Each ported telephone number is associated with an LRN, which directs calls through the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) to the correct servicing switch.  Most USA carriers use LRN data to ensure correct routing and billing.  You send us the ANI and we return the LRN to you if there is one.


Here is the information that we send to you.

LRN INFO LOOKUP INFORMATION FLOW DIAGRAM

The LRN INFO API allows you to get the Local Routing Number (LRN) for any number in the USA plus additional useful information related to the ANI.   You send us the ANI and we return the data back to you.


Here is the information that we send to you.

API Call Response - The data we send you!

ANI, LRN, COC Type, Carrier Type, OCN, City, State, Ported Status, Ported Date.

INSIGHT LOOKUP

INSIGHT LOOKUP INFORMATION FLOW DIAGRAM

The INSIGHT LOOKUP API combines CNAM, LRN, and LERG intelligence into a single response, providing the most comprehensive view available for a telephone number. .  You send us the ANI and we return information to you from several databases: LRN, CNAM, and LERG.


Here is the information that we send you.

API Call Response:   CNAM, ANI, LRN, COC Type, Carrier Type, OCN, Carrier, City, State, Ported Status, Ported Date, Time Zone

ANI TYPE AUTHENTICATIONS via API

CONSISTENCY ASSESSMENT TO BE USED AS A rISK iNDICATOR

ANI TYPE intelligence is used to identify the carrier and phone line type, such as mobile, landline, fixed VoIP, non-fixed VoIP, toll free, and more. Let me explain how this group of validations work.


You will send us the ANI and ANI2 information from your live call.  Our system then performs a series of proprietary validation checks using industry-standard routing and carrier assignment data to verify that the ANI2 information is consistent with the originating telephone number information provided.


If the data is consistent, the API will return a validation code of 0 indicating a consistent match. If the information is not consistent, the API will return a validation code of 1 indicating the data could not be verified or was not consistent.

VALIDATE BY ANI

VALIDATE BY ANI

VALIDATE BY ANI LOOKUP INFORMATION FLOW DIAGRAM

The VALIDATE BY ANI API call is used as a first line of defense to determine if an ANI has been spoofed.  You will send us the ANI and ANI2 information from your live call.  Our system then performs a series of proprietary validation checks using industry-standard routing and carrier assignment data to verify that the ANI2 information is consistent with the originating telephone number information provided.


If the data passes validation, the API will return a validation code of 0 indicating a successful match. If the information does not pass validation, the API will return a validation code of 1 indicating the data could not be verified.


API Call Response:  (Result of ANI/ANI2 Validation Test – Valid 0 or Invalid 1) 

DETAILS

VALIDATE BY LRN

VALIDATE BY LRN LOOKUP INFORMATION FLOW DIAGRAM

The VALIDATE BY LRN API call operates similarly to the VALIDATE BY ANI API call. You will provide the ANI and ANI2 information obtained from your live call stream. Our system then performs a series of proprietary validation checks using industry-standard routing and carrier assignment data to verify that the ANI2 information is consistent with the originating telephone number information provided.


If the data passes validation, the API will return a validation code of 0 indicating a successful match. If the information does not pass validation, the API will return a validation code of 1 indicating the data could not be verified.


API Call Response:  (Result of ANI/ANI2 Validation Test – Valid 0 or Invalid 1)

TWO FACTOR AUTHENTICATION OPTIONS via API

EMAIL ONE-TIME PASSCODE (OTP)

EMAIL ONE-TIME PASSCODE (OTP)

Email One-Time Passcode (OTP) is a secure authentication method that companies use as a "second" factor to verify a user's identity by sending a temporary, single-use passcode to their email address. The user must enter the correct code within a limited time period to complete the login, registration, password reset, or other protected action. 


Email OTP adds an extra layer of security by confirming that the user has access to the email account associated with the application.  Email OTP provides an independent verification factor that confirms the user has access to the email account associated with the transaction, adding an additional layer of security to authentication workflows.

“Fraud thrives in the unknowN — information shuts it down.”
