# PhoneTracer ⚡️  
OSINT Phone Number Metadata Toolkit

PhoneTracer is a modular Python toolkit for extracting **public,
non-invasive metadata** from phone numbers using Google’s

### 🔹 Argument Mode

```bash
python main.py
# choose option 1
```

Then use:

```bash
python cli_args.py -n "+91 9513717169"
python cli_args.py -f numbers.txt
```

## 🧠 Spam Heuristics

PhoneTracer assigns a **spam score** based on simple patterns:

* Repeated digits
* Excessive zeros
* Abnormal formatting

This is only an indicator, **not a classification**.

---

## 🤖 Continuous Integration

GitHub Actions automatically:

* Installs dependencies
* Runs core sanity tests
* Ensures CLI paths load correctly

Workflow file:

```
.github/workflows/python-ci.yml
```
