Code Sample:

#!/usr/bin/python # Python Example code for NumberPortabilityLookup.com import httplib # Put your username and password here: username="username" password="secret" # This is the number to be queried: number="447788450450" # Call API to perform HLR Query conn = httplib.HTTPConnection("api.numberportabilitylookup.com") conn.request("GET", "/npl?user="+username+"&pass="+password+"&msisdn="+number+"&apiver=2.4") data = conn.getresponse().read() conn.close() # Parse the response response=data.split("\n") # First line indicates success of the query if response[0]=="QUERYOK": # Response returned OK - now read the data into variables # This is a basic example querying a single number. # If you queried more than one number in a single API call by delimiting MSISDNs # with commas, you could extend the block below to loop through lines of response[] # for each pair of msisdn/hlrdata until you reach response[n]=="ENDBATCH" (msisdn,hlrdata)=response[1].split(" ",2) (plmn,msc,imsi)=hlrdata.split(",",3) # Use the data as needed. For this example we will just print it to console: print "MSISDN ",msisdn print "MSC ",msc print "IMSI ",imsi else: # If we didn't get "QUERYOK", something broke - tell somebody! print "Lookup error:",response[0]
