Search for available phone numbers with `numberPattern.searchPattern = START`

[valentinpazushko]

I’m trying to find a specific American Toll-Free number using parameters `numberPattern.searchPattern = START` and `numberPattern.pattern = {fullNumber}`. For example +18336681151. As a result, I get an empty response. However, if I request American Toll-Free numbers without this filters, this number will be in the response.

Hi, thanks for your question!

When you used the `numberPattern.pattern` did you URL encode the `+` sign? https://developers.sinch.com/docs/numbers/api-reference/numbers/tag/Available-Number/#tag/Available-...

This could account for why you did not get the number returned.
Thanks!

Yes, of course

If I leave only these numbers '+1833669', the search works

Hi, thanks for your patience.

I have done some further testing and I have run into the same behavior you are experiencing. Even if the number is available, it won't show up if I enter the entire number.

I will reach out to the engineering team and ask for more information about how this works and I will get back to you with an answer.
