# vonage-number-insight — Vonage Number Insight package

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 335.2K/mo

## What it is and what it does

Vonage Number Insight is a Python client library for Vonage's Number Insight API that retrieves structured information about phone numbers. It offers three tiers of insight—basic (country and carrier), standard (adds location and number type), and advanced (adds roaming and portability data)—with both synchronous and asynchronous request patterns. The package is designed to integrate with the main vonage SDK and uses pydantic for request/response validation, making it straightforward to query phone number metadata for validation, enrichment, or fraud detection workflows.

The package supports optional caller name (CNAM) lookups on standard and advanced requests, though these may incur additional charges. Asynchronous advanced requests are recommended to avoid timeouts in production. It requires Python 3.9 or later and depends on vonage-http-client and vonage-utils for HTTP communication and utility functions.

Use it for:

- Validate phone numbers and retrieve carrier/location data during user registration or account verification.
- Enrich customer records with phone number metadata (country, carrier, number type) for segmentation or compliance.
- Detect roaming or ported numbers in real-time for fraud prevention or risk assessment workflows.
- Retrieve caller name information for inbound call screening or contact enrichment (with additional charges).
- Build async pipelines for bulk phone number analysis without blocking on API latency.

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Vonage Number Insight package provides methods to query phone number information at three insight levels (basic, standard, advanced) via Vonage's Number Insight API, with support for synchronous and asynchronous advanced requests.

Yes. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries a permissive license, and integrates cleanly into the Vonage SDK ecosystem. It has no known vulnerabilities and supports current Python versions. Install it if you need to query Vonage's Number Insight API; avoid it if you don't have a Vonage account or need a different phone number validation provider.

## Install

pip install vonage-number-insight
uv add vonage-number-insight
poetry add vonage-number-insight

## Installing vonage-number-insight

Before you install: Low install friction with a pure Python wheel distribution. The package is actively maintained with a recent commit on 2026-07-20 and has three straightforward runtime dependencies (vonage-http-client, vonage-utils, pydantic).

License in practice: Licensed under Apache Software License (permissive), which allows commercial use, modification, and distribution with minimal restrictions—suitable for most production scenarios.

Quickstart:

from vonage_number_insight import BasicInsightRequest

response = vonage_client.number_insight.basic_number_insight(
    BasicInsightRequest(number='12345678900')
)
print(response.model_dump(exclude_none=True))

Requires a vonage_client instance (typically created via the main vonage package) and valid Vonage API credentials.

Verify before relying:

- Whether the vonage-http-client and vonage-utils dependencies are stable and well-maintained.
- Specific rate limits or quotas imposed by Vonage's Number Insight API.
- Whether caller name (cnam) lookups incur charges beyond standard API pricing.
