Send a test lookup
Your first three test pings are free; one click proves the whole screening path before real traffic does.
What the button does
The test-lookup button on the dashboard fires a real lookup with your active key, exactly the request a tracker sends to your lookup URL. Nothing about it is simulated: it authenticates, scores, and logs like production traffic.
This is what the card looks like on your dashboard home:
- Home → Test lookup. Enter a phone number or use the prefilled one; your own cell makes the best first test.
- Your first three test pings are free: they never touch your balance, and each response tells you how many free pings remain.
- The verdict appears in your lookups within a moment: caller number, allow or block, the reason, and whether it hit the cache.
- Send the same number twice and the second lookup answers from the one-day cache: instant, and it costs your balance nothing.
After the three free pings, a test lookup debits the balance like a normal lookup; it is, after all, exactly the request your tracker sends.
