Using the library is very straight-forward and it's typically used like this: import phonenumbersįrom phonenumbers import carrier, timezone, geocoder
PHONE NUMBER AND EMAIL ADDRESS EXTRACTOR PYTHON HOW TO
In this tutorial, we’ll learn how to parse, validate and extract phone numbers, as well as how to extract additional information from the phone number(s) like the carrier, timezone, or geocoder details. The Python phonenumbers library is derived from Google’s libphonenumber library, which is also available for other programming languages like C++, Java, and JavaScript. Luckily, there is a Python library that can help us to get through the validation process easily and efficiently. You can see that things can quickly get out of hand and make it almost impossible for us to validate phone number inputs by ourselves. On top of that, some mobile phone carriers have their own rules (for example, certain digits can only use a certain range of numbers). However, this means that you would have to write a custom RegEx rule for every country in the world, just to validate a country code. At first glance, one can at least validate the country code of a phone number with a RegEx. These are only a few of the challenges in identifying or validating phone numbers. On the other hand, it is possible to call the phone numbers from Kosovo using Serbian, Slovenian and Moroccan country codes. According to an example from Google's libphonenumber GitHub repository, USA, Canada, and Caribbean islands, all share the same country code ( +1). Heck, it can also vary within the same country! Some countries share the same country code, while some other countries use more than one country code. The format of a phone number can vary from one country to another. Validating phone numbers can be a very challenging task.
