HACKTOBER CONTRIBUTIONS WELCOME, NEW OPERATORS WOULD BE GREAT!

Imenik

A really simple function that takes in a phone number and returns the caller ID.

Live Instance: https://imenik.elahmo.now.sh/

How to use

Make a post request to https://imenik.elahmo.now.sh/ with number as payload, and if the number is available in the providers' database, it will be returned.

Supported operators

The list of supported operators is as follows:

• BHTelecom
• Eronet
• mTel

Contributing

Please feel free to add any operator or improve the code in any way by opening a PR.

In particular, the addition of new operators, optimisations and a simple GUI would be helpful.

Using via CLI

Initially, this was made for my specific use case, I wanted to quickly know a caller ID before I pick up the phone, as I receive a lot of spammy calls.

It might be useful to have this as a simple curl call:

curl -d "number=000000000" -X POST https://imenik.elahmo.now.sh

or saved as a function in your .bashrc file:

function imenik() {
    local number=$1

    curl -d "number=$number" -X POST https://imenik.elahmo.now.sh
}

This enables a quick imenik 123123123 lookup from the CLI of your choice.

Then, for production, including automatic aliasing, you can use the following:

Development and Deployment

The code is automatically deployed to now and the details are specified in the now.json, specifying the build process and routing.

For local development and simulation of dev environment, use now dev.

As some might call this approach serverless, there are some drawbacks. Cold boot lookup takes ~ 5 seconds, otherwise, the results are returned within 2-3 seconds. It seems inconvenient to do the lookup in one call for BHTelecom, so two requests are made, one to get the session and second to actually request the number lookup.
