RPV Active API Documentation
The RPV Active API uses GET/POST methods and supports only HTTPS with TLS v1.2+. It determines the basic usability of a phone number. This means the phone number is active on a “still in business” phone service provider. Not to be confused with if a phone is “connected” to an actual customer. For that “connected” info, use the Turbo or Scrub APIs.
We recommend limiting the API call rate to 10 per second. Check out the complete list of RealPhoneValidation API best practices here: realphonevalidation.com/api-best-practices/
