The service will search by name, address, city, state (or province), and postal code to find a listed phone number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PhoneAppend provides instant phone lookup and verification to websites or data enhancement to contact lists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"DOTSPhoneAppend-Integration\"><strong>Integration<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Integrating PhoneAppend into your application should be easy and straightforward. If you are using a common platform, ServiceObjects may already have sample code built that you can use: <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.serviceobjects.com\/sample-code\/?service=69\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.serviceobjects.com\/sample-code\/?service=69<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you are using a common platform that does not already have sample code, you can ask ServiceObjects to build you an example. Email&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:support@serviceobjects.com\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">support@serviceobjects.com<\/a>&nbsp;for more details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"DOTSPhoneAppend-WebServiceStructure\"><strong>Web Service Structure<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Web services are methods that integrate with other applications via the web, and encapsulate complicated business logic. Web services are too large of a topic to cover in this document, but Service Objects has developed its web services to be as easy to integrate and as accessible as possible.<br>PhoneAppend is a public XML web service that is accessed via SOAP, HTTP POST and HTTP GET protocols.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The host path, or physical location of the web service is here:<\/strong><br><a href=\"https:\/\/trial.serviceobjects.com\/pa\/PhoneAppend.asmx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/trial.serviceobjects.com\/pa\/PhoneAppend.asmx<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The location of the WSDL, or Web Service Definition Language document, is here<\/strong>\u00a0(The WSDL is also accessible via the &#8220;Service Definition&#8221; link from the host path.):<br><a href=\"https:\/\/trial.serviceobjects.com\/pa\/PhoneAppend.asmx?WSDL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/trial.serviceobjects.com\/pa\/PhoneAppend.asmx?WSDL<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-card-note is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p><strong>Important Note!<\/strong><br>SOAP is done via HTTP POST with special XML markup in the post-body.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The WSDL is the definition of the web service, defining its inputs, outputs, operations, and nontrivial data types. Most likely, you will have a tool for your programming language read the WSDL and generate operations for your application. When your utilities or IDE asks for a WSDL path to PhoneAppend, you provide the host path.<br><br>Every web service has&nbsp;<em>operations<\/em>&nbsp;that it offers to subscribers \u2013 methods that do different work and return different output. Examining the link above, you will notice several operations, which are described in detail later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>GetPhoneAppend<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 given a person&#8217;s name, address, city, state (province), and postal code, will return the contact&#8217;s phone number (if listed).<br><strong>GetBusinessPhoneAppend<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 like GetPhoneInfo, but emphasized for businesses. If you have a business name, address, city, state (province), and postal code, use this operation instead of GetPhoneInfo. (<strong><mark style=\"color:#ff0000\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Deprecated: Use GetBusinessPhoneAppend_V2<\/mark><\/strong>)<br><strong>GetBusinessPhoneAppend_V2<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 like GetBusinessPhoneAppend, but returns additional information beyond the phone number. The V2 (&#8220;version 2&#8221;) operation returns the business name, address, city, state (province), and postal code in addition to the phone number. (<mark style=\"color:#3366ff\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Recommended operation<\/mark>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each of these operations will be described in detail later in this document.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"DOTSPhoneAppend-OperationDefinitions\"><strong>Operation Definitions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This document defines the input, output and behavior of the web service operations in PhoneAppend. Each operation has its own unique behavior and output, although all of the operations are very similar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-card-note is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p><strong>Important Note!<\/strong><br>Phone lookups are subject to federal rules determining who can procure data, and for what purpose. Currently, both disconnected and unlisted numbers return no contact information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PhoneAppend returns contact information for connected landline phone numbers. Even in the cases that the phone number is disconnected or wireless, PhoneAppend will commonly return the exchange information. PhoneAppend provides contact information regarding Canadian phone numbers, although PhoneAppend Canadian data is not quite as comprehensive as its US information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should examine your own business needs first before exploring what PhoneAppend can provide. Different operations may be necessary based on the information you have, and the granularity of data you need.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"DOTSPhoneAppend-GetPhoneAppend\">GetPhoneAppend<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:3px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the basic operation for finding residential lookup information.
