Indiatimes Checker API: Bulk Phone Number Verification

Check whether phone numbers in your file have Indiatimes accounts. Same batch task workflow as other social / messenger checkers.

Upload detection file — example:

curl --location 'https://api.checknumber.ai/v1/tasks' \
--header 'X-API-Key: API-KEY' \
--form 'file=@"./numbers.txt"' \
--form 'task_type="indiatimes"'

Check task status — example:

curl --location 'https://api.checknumber.ai/v1/gettasks' \
--header 'X-API-Key: API-KEY' \
--form 'task_id="task_id"'
