Number Insight Basic

Use the Vonage Number Insight Basic API to determine:

The country where a number is registered
The local and international representation of that number

This can help you present numbers to your users in the correct format for their locale.

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

Add the following to ni-basic.sh:

curl "https://api.nexmo.com/ni/basic/json?api_key=$VONAGE_API_KEY&api_secret=$VONAGE_API_SECRET&number=$INSIGHT_NUMBER"

We can use the application plugin for Gradle to simplify the running of our application. Update your build.gradle with the following:

  apply plugin: 'application'
  mainClassName = project.hasProperty('main') ? project.getProperty('main') : ''

Run the following gradle command to execute your application, replacing com.vonage.quickstart.insight with the package containing BasicInsight:

gradle run -Pmain=com.vonage.quickstart.insight.BasicInsight
