The Geo API
The Geo API provides a simple way to find the location of a phone number. Results are given with their estimated level of accuracy, either 'accurate', 'questionable', 'best guess', or 'general area' based on factors such as record age, or whether a known record was used to find the result.
The request to our API is a standard HTTP GET request as follows:
http://api.reverseuk.com/geolookup.php?format=FORMAT&key=APIKEY&q=PHONE
Parameters
format (required)
valid options are json, xml, text
key (required)
32 characters long, provided when you join the developer program
q (required)
valid United Kingdom phone number
