Summary
Twilio is working hard to eliminate robocalls and has partnered with Nomorobo to provide a service that can detect whether a call is from a robot or not. The solution uses Node.js, Twilio Lookup, and the Nomorobo Spam Score Add-on. A tool has been created that detects robocalls by looking up phone numbers against the Nomorobo database, which provides a score indicating the likelihood of the number being a spammer. The tool can be run as a standalone script or used in a larger application to identify whether a particular call is from a robot or not.
