A simple node library for getting caller ID name information.
This library uses opencnam as a backend.
Install from npm, the node package manager:
$ npm install opencnam
If you'd like to install node-opencnam globally, you can run:
$ npm install -g opencnam
NOTE: If you install node-opencnam globally, you may need to run the npm
command with sudo.
Using node-opencnam is easy. Below is a sample node program written using
node-opencnam. All it does is lookup a phone number and then output the
caller ID name for the specified phone number and print it out.
When using node-opencnam, note that you can pass it any US phone number, in
any format. This means that if you enter 'abc8182223333bcbcbc',
node-opencnam will still resolve it to '8182223333'.
If you enter a number less than 10-digits in length, you'll get an error. If
you enter a number longer than 10-digits in length, node-opencnam will only
use the last 10-digits of the number.
So, here it is:
var opencnam = require('opencnam');
opencnam.lookup('2024561111', function (err, cnam) {
if (!err) {
console.log(cnam);
} else {
console.log(err);
}
});The opencnam API we use as a backend limits you to no more than 60 requests per hour (using their free tier).
