try my npm package truecallerjs
https://www.npmjs.com/package/truecallerjs
const truecallerjs = require('truecallerjs');
var countryCode = "IN"; // Default country code to use.
var installationId = "YOUR INSTALLATION ID";
var phoneNumbers = "[phone],[phone],[phone]....." // Phone numbers seperated by comma's
const searchResult = truecallerjs.bulkSearch(phoneNumbers,countryCode,installationId)
searchResult.then(function (response) {
for (let i = 0; i < response.data.length; i++) {
if("undefined" === typeof response.data[i].value.addresses[0].city ) {
console.log(`${response.data[i].key} => Unkown city`);
} else {
console.log(`${response.data[i].key} => `,response.data[i].value.addresses[0].city);
}
}
})
// OUTPUT
// [phone] => Andhra Pradesh
// [phone] => Unkown city
// [phone] => Mumbai
// ...
// ...
