Introducing Truecaller API

Q : How it Actually Works?

Ans : Our API just emulates the process one would encounter if using a web-browser & retrieve the desired information.

Q : How can i use it?

Ans : You Just need to Fire a Simple HTTP Get Request on our API Url with Your PHPHive Truecaller API Token.
API Token can be Obtained from https://tcapi.phphive.info/console/ For Free.

Note : All Countries Supported 🙂

More Snippets Available @ https://github.com/punneetmehta/Truecaller-UnOfficial-API

PHP Snippet for Retrieving Basic Details

<?PHP
$no="";
$apiToken="";  // PHPHive Truecaller API Token, Obtain it from https://tcapi.phphive.info/console/
$uri = 'https://tcapi.phphive.info/'.$apiToken.'/search/'.$no;
$ch = curl_init($uri);
curl_setopt_array($ch, array(
CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER  => array('X-User: PHPHive'),
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER  =>true,
CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST => false,
CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => false,
CURLOPT_VERBOSE     => 1
));
$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo $response;
?>

<?PHP

$no="";

$apiToken=""; // PHPHive Truecaller API Token, Obtain it from https://tcapi.phphive.info/console/

$uri = 'https://tcapi.phphive.info/'.$apiToken.'/search/'.$no;

$ch = curl_init($uri);

curl_setopt_array($ch, array(

CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array('X-User: PHPHive'),

CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER =>true,

CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST => false,

CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => false,

CURLOPT_VERBOSE => 1

));

$response = curl_exec($ch);

curl_close($ch);

echo $response;

Sample Output :

{ "number": "9999999999", "name": "Salman Khan", "gender": null, "spamScore": 3372, "spamType": "TOP_SPAMMER", "address": null, "email": null, "facebook": null, "twitter": null, "image": null, "tags": "Finance, Insurance & Legal,Bank," }

1	{ "number": "9999999999", "name": "Salman Khan", "gender": null, "spamScore": 3372, "spamType": "TOP_SPAMMER", "address": null, "email": null, "facebook": null, "twitter": null, "image": null, "tags": "Finance, Insurance & Legal,Bank," }

Javascript Snippet for Retrieving Basic Details

var no="9999999999";
var apiToken = ""; // PHPHive Truecaller API Token, obtain it from https://tcapi.phphive.info/console/
$.ajax({
url: "https://tcapi.phphive.info/"+apiToken+"/search/"+no,
type: "GET",
crossDomain:true,       
contentType: 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',            
success: function(data) {
// data -> Response from PHPHive Truecaller API
alert(data);
},
error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
alert("You can not send Cross Domain AJAX requests: " + errorThrown);
}
});

var no="9999999999";

var apiToken = ""; // PHPHive Truecaller API Token, obtain it from https://tcapi.phphive.info/console/

$.ajax({

url: "https://tcapi.phphive.info/"+apiToken+"/search/"+no,

type: "GET",

crossDomain:true,

contentType: 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',

success: function(data) {

// data -> Response from PHPHive Truecaller API

alert(data);

error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {

alert("You can not send Cross Domain AJAX requests: " + errorThrown);

}

});

Q : Is There any Daily Limit for Using this API ?

Ans : No! There’s No Daily Limit. But Spamming is Obviously Not allowed. We are keeping records of IP’s, if we find someone Spamming our Service then that IP will be Banned.

Hey Puneet,
Wanted to ask when you fire the query from your end, do you set the cookie and set the required tcToken and tcSession variable? or there is another way of doing it?

Kindly reply.

Use Javascript Snippet.

Sam July 9, 2016 at 1:48 am

Thanks. Is tcapi.phphive.info just scrapping Truecaller on each request? Are you planning on releasing that code as well?

Reply

Puneet Mehta July 9, 2016 at 4:03 pm

Yes ! it just scrap’s the data from Truecaller on each Request.
and i am not going to release the SOURCE !

Reply

Sam July 12, 2016 at 5:03 am

Np. Can you give any advice on how you’re renewing the auth cookie? From what I can tell Truecaller sets the expiry to 1hr.

Reply

Puneet Mehta July 12, 2016 at 1:16 pm

Set a Cronjob to Login to Truecaller with Google ( or whatever Service you are Using ) at Every 55 Minutes & renew the Token.
Further, store the token in a File or a Database & Use it 🙂

There seems to be a daily limit to a user. After 200 hits, is the usage refreshed after 24 hours?
