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

')
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:

$ curl api.disclose.name/v1.0/phone/+74957978700
Kaspersky Lab


Do you think the service will be popular? Will the usage scenarios described above be in demand?
