Unable to search phone number

[sujoyg1982]

I have been trying to follow the guide mentioned in the github project of truecallerjs node library and search a phone number without any success.

I have installed the npm package in my node environment that is running in an ubuntu machine. I have logged in using my phone number and otp well and got an installation Id too. But while doing search, I have been constantly getting 429 response code that said "ERR_BAD_REQUEST". Any idea why is this happening? Do I need to register my mobile number somewhere TC portal?

Below is the command and response sample.

truecallerjs -s +91 --json

same. I think true caller API dead....

For me the error code is different, message: Request failed with status code 401, this means unauthorized access. So I guess Truecaller must have moved this api's access to it's business category only, and not to open public usage. Error code 429 means Too many request, so I guess some dev might have pushed it to prod, later they changed it to 401 for Unauthorized.
@sujoyg1982 would you try again to check the error code once.
