A request consists of a protocol to make a call to the service, detailing desired elements. The minimum required elements in a request are your Customer ID (License Key) and at least one input phone number. Though not required, an input country name will greatly increase the chances of recognizing and verifying the phone number in question.

Global Phone supports multiple protocols to access the service, including SOAP, JSON, REST, and XML.
