Phone Specification vs Veriphone

Phone Specs API is an open-source, keyless wrapper around GSMArena's device database, returning brand lists, per-phone specifications, and search results as JSON — maintained by a single developer (Azhari Muhammad M) and deployed on Vercel. Both README-documented custom domains (api-mobilespecs.azharimm.dev for v1, phone-specs-api-2.azharimm.dev for v2) no longer resolve, but the underlying Vercel deployment is still live and reachable directly: its root endpoint returned a 200 JSON payload confirming auth "None" and https true, and a live OPTIONS preflight carried Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * (cors reconfirmed "yes"); the /brands and /latest routes intermittently 500 with a 429 from the upstream GSMArena scrape target, a source-side rate-limit rather than the API itself being down.

Veriphone validates phone numbers and returns carrier, line type (mobile/fixed/VoIP), and formatted output for 243 countries, either via a single lookup or bulk CSV upload. Its own docs state "CORS is enabled on all endpoints," and a live OPTIONS preflight plus an unauthenticated GET against api.veriphone.io/v3/verify both returned Access-Control-Allow-Origin echoing the request Origin, reconfirming cors "yes"; the GET also returned a 400 JSON error demanding the key parameter, reconfirming auth "API Key" over HTTPS. Its pricing page offers 1,000 free validations/month with no credit card required, alongside one-time credit packs and monthly subscription tiers — freemium.
