Xfinity Phone Number Lookup
How to Identify Xfinity Numbers Using Abstract API
Abstract's Phone Number Validation API offers a reliable method for checking if a U.S. phone number belongs to the Xfinity network.
Sign Up and Get Your API Key
First, sign up for a free account with Abstract API. You can find your unique API key on your account dashboard after registering.
Send a Request to the API
Use your API key to make a request. Below are examples in Python and JavaScript that show how to check a number.
Python Example:
import requests
response = requests.get(
"https://phonevalidation.abstractapi.com/v1/",
params={"api_key": "YOUR_API_KEY", "phone": "+15558675309"}
)
data = response.json()
print(data["carrier"]) # Will print "Xfinity " if it’s a Xfinity number
JavaScript Example:
const axios = require("axios");
axios.get("https://phonevalidation.abstractapi.com/v1/", {
params: {
api_key: "YOUR_API_KEY",
phone: "+15558675309"
}
}).then(response => {
console.log(response.data.carrier); // Should output "Xfinity"
});
Interpret the Response
After making a request, you will receive a JSON response that looks like this:
{
"phone": "+15558675309",
"valid": true,
"country": "United States",
"location": "California",
"carrier": "Xfinity",
"line_type": "mobile"
}
The response contains several fields that provide details about the phone number.
- phone - Provides the phone number in a standardized international format.
- valid - Confirms if the phone number format is correct. The value `true` indicates it is a valid number.
- country - Shows the country where the number is registered.
- location - Specifies the geographical area associated with the number, which is "California" in this example.
- line_type - Indicates if the number is a mobile, landline, or VoIP.
- carrier - Identifies the network provider for the number.
To confirm a number belongs to Xfinity, check that the value for the carrier field is "Xfinity".
