> Validate a US or Canadian phone number before outbound by checking connection status, line type, carrier, portability, and available DNC/TCPA signals.

Validate a US or Canadian phone number before outbound by checking connection status, line type, carrier, portability, and available DNC/TCPA signals.

<Info>
  Tool ID: `searchbug_phone_validation`
</Info>

## Run this action

Use the TypeScript SDK for a single call. Put `ctx.tools.execute(...)` inside a Play when the call should be durable, scheduled, or run across a CSV.

```ts theme={null}
import { Deepline } from 'deepline';

const deepline = await Deepline.connect();
const result = await deepline.tools.execute(
  'searchbug_phone_validation',
  {
    "phone": "+14155550123"
  },
);

console.log(result.toolResponse.raw);
```

### CLI

```bash theme={null}
deepline tools execute searchbug_phone_validation --input '{
  "phone": "+14155550123"
}' --json
```

## Example response

The SDK exposes this shape at `result.toolResponse.raw`. Values below are representative.

```json theme={null}
{
  "data": {
    "Status": "example",
    "Data": {
      "PHONE": {
        "NUMBER": "example",
        "NUMBER2": "example",
        "STATUS": "example",
        "DNC": "example",
        "TCPA": "example",
        "TYPE": "example",
        "VOIP": "example",
        "CARRIER": "example",
        "PORTED": "example",
        "STATE": "California",
        "LOCATION": "example",
        "TIMEZONE": "America/New_York"
      }
    },
    "Error": null
  }
}
```

Use `deepline tools get searchbug_phone_validation --json` for the latest machine-readable contract.
