Introduction
The mobile number system in India is quite large with 8+ major providers on the market. The number allocation for each telecom carrier is different. Mainly the Indian mobile numbers start with ‘9’ or ‘8’ or ‘7’. It is a very difficult task to find the operator and circle of the mobile number. With the entry of new providers like JIO, the need for Jio number lookup API also increased. This is because of the new number allocation for these carriers. We are providing a free mobile operator finder API.
Please note: This is completely free API without any restrictions. Click here for MNP Lookup API, where you can find the operator and circle of ported numbers and even JIO numbers.
Step 1

or

- The database is automatically updated, so you don’t have to worry about the accuracy of the database. As new series allocates, it’s automatically included in the API.
Step 2
The API can be easily consumed in any programming language. Hereby showing a small script on how to consume the MNP check API in PHP.
Please note that the same can be implemented in any programming language. Send an HTTP request, then decode the response and use the data. There is a rate-limiting enabled for the free API to avoid misuse of the API. The current rate-limiting is 180 5 requests per minute.
Now you can use this API to get the current operator and circle of mobile number. However, this only shows the default operator and circle. For showing the MNP Details, that is the ported operator and circle of mobile number, please try the DataYuge’s MNP API
