## About

## What it does
Phone Number Detector finds phone numbers in supplied text and returns the detected matches in a structured job result. Send content as a string, get back a job ID and a status URL, then poll for the final result when processing completes.

Use it when you need to scan support tickets, lead forms, chat transcripts, or imported documents for phone numbers before storing, validating, or routing the data. The service is asynchronous, so it fits batch workflows and longer inputs without blocking your application.

The job status response includes a `status` field and a `result` array. Each detected item includes `detected_number` and `parsed_number`, so you can compare the original match with the normalized form returned by the service.

Keep the scope in mind: this service works on text you provide and returns only the fields defined in its schemas. It is designed for phone-number detection and parsing, not broader contact extraction.

## Usage
