List Your Numbers

This page shows you how to list the numbers that you own programmatically.

You can also view your numbers online, using the developer dashboard or from the command line, using the Nexmo CLI.

Replace the following variables in the sample code with your own values:

Name Description
NEXMO_API_KEY Your Nexmo API key
NEXMO_API_SECRET Your Nexmo API secret
COUNTRY_CODE The two digit country code for the number you want to cancel. For example: GB for the United Kingdom.
NUMBER_SEARCH_CRITERIA The filter criteria. For example, numbers containing 234.
NUMBER_SEARCH_PATTERN Where the NUMBER_SEARCH_CRITERIA should appear in the number:
  • 0 - At the beginning of the number
  • 1- Anywhere in the number
  • 2 - At the end of the number
  • cURL
  • Node.js
  • PHP
  • Python
  • Ruby

    • Write the code

    Add the following to search-numbers.sh:

    Copy to Clipboard 
    curl "https://rest.nexmo.com/number/search?api_key=$NEXMO_API_KEY&api_secret=$NEXMO_API_SECRET&country=$COUNTRY_CODE&type=$NEXMO_NUMBER_TYPE&features=$NEXMO_NUMBER_FEATURES&pattern=$NUMBER_SEARCH_CRITERIA&search_pattern=$NUMBER_SEARCH_PATTERN"
