Number Insight Standard

The Number Insight Standard API provides all the information from the Number Insight Basic API together with the following additional data:

The line type (mobile/landline/virtual number/premium/toll-free)
The Mobile Country Code (MCC) and Mobile Network Code (MNC)
The name of the caller (USA only)

Use this information to determine the best type of communication for a number (SMS or voice) and block virtual numbers.

Before attempting to run the code examples, replace the variable placeholders:

Key	Description
`VONAGE_API_KEY`	Your Vonage API key (see it on your dashboard).
`VONAGE_API_SECRET`	Your Vonage API secret (also available on your dashboard).
`INSIGHT_NUMBER`	The number you want to retrieve insight information for.

Write the code
