Service to determine the name of the subscriber by phone number
For all the time of using telephony (urban or cellular, it doesn’t matter) I was depressed by one thing - the inability to find out the name of the subscriber in his absence in your phonebook. Even if you have connected the caller ID service, only the phone number is determined, but not the name.
To solve this problem, I made a proof-of-concept service , which assigns the subscriber's name to the phone number. In this way, you can understand who is calling you and continue to decide whether to pick up the phone or not.
Scenarios for the use of such a service
you are waiting for a call from the organization (hospital, online store, etc.), without knowing their phone number
validation of the entered data in the form of data on the site: check the compliance of the entered name and phone number
integration with smartphones: the calling phone will automatically determine the name of the subscriber through the service, if you have not found this number in the phone book. So that you can understand it, a person you know is ringing, or you have a stranger.
use of the subscriber's name in various reports together or in conjunction with a phone number (analogy - IP address and DNS name, few people remember IP addresses, all use DNS names of sites)

Little about service The simplest REST API is implemented, which, in response to the phone number contained in the request, tries to determine the name of the subscriber. Now he works in a limited mode and does not solve all the numbers, but this is enough for a test mode. Examples of requests can be seen on the site itself (when updating the page, new examples are displayed). For example:
