Deprecating Redundant Attributes in the Number Insight Advanced v1 API

Vonage is set to deprecate the Real-Time Indicators fields from its Number Insight Advanced API, which include the "active_status" and "handset_status" attributes, as their functionality is already covered by the "valid_number" and "reachable" attributes available by default. This change, effective from October 1, 2025, aims to simplify the API and reduce unnecessary data processing without affecting billing or requiring endpoint configuration changes. Users are advised to review their current implementations to ensure they are not reliant on the deprecated attributes, and the Vonage support team is available for assistance in the transition. This initiative, in collaboration with Python Developer Advocate Max Kahan, reflects Vonage's commitment to maximizing API value and minimizing complexity for customers.
