Allocate a number
The example below demonstrates how to search, purchase and set forwarding for a new number.
Purchasing a number via the API is a multi-step process. Firstly you need to search for the number you'd like to buy and add it to your basket. You'll then need to add a credit card to your account if you have already done so to pay for the number. Finally, you can purchase the number and forward it to your chosen destination.
Authenticate and perform a number search.
