UPDATE MAY_18_2014
A new RESTful online version is available @ http://callerpy.sysbase.org

Truecaller Name Retriever.
Since my request for the API was rejected, I commenced using python parsing libraries.
Callerpy emulates the process one would encounter if using a web-browser.

NEW FEATURE
Strangely enough, it is not possible to physically enter the country code in www.truecaller.com although defined in www.truecaller.com/javascripts/app.min.1385646302.js
However, it is possible to do so using callerpy.

...EVEN NEWER FEATURE::THANKS TO NIRAV DESAI FOR HIS INSISTENCE :)
Automated Crawler Truecaller has rate limit

python callerpy.py -crawl 2 -l twitter

The integer represents the time to wait between each request.

Write the numbers in num.list according to the following format(CC;number):

1;7349303030
1;7349303022

Note the escape between them

does this module still work or maintain now?

Hi,

I run the demo comment in your project, but failed to retrieve the expected results mentioned. Is this tool still maintained or working now?

Below is the results I got:
curl -v 'http://callerpy.sysbase.org/search/world/api/v1/REST?number=920012345&cc=966'

Clean-up

The code is not consistent, it needs to maintain a certain style.

View in Map

Come to think of it, if someone wants a GUI experience; they should use truecaller.com directly.

wrong COUNTRY_ID

It has been reported that some COUNTRY_ID's in countries file are wrong.

indiaother is india-other

This has been confirmed by reviewing
www.truecaller.com/javascripts/app.min.1385646302.js

Truecaller Code & auth Change

In some instances callerpy returns the number as the name. Other attempts return no name found for NUMBER.

Crawlling returns nothing

Integreate whatmpp

The integration of whatmpp http://www.emoticode.net/python/whatmpp.html

Check Names-XML

The ability to search for name, countries, and numbers from log.xml

Automated Name/Number Crawler

Not sure how it will be done

Limits enforced :)

Seems that they have imposed new system limits. Queries doesn't work anymore. Tried the web interface, system says you have to wait for 12 hours for a new search.
