TCPA Shield is a feature in Ringba to check phone numbers against a list of known litigators and settlement seekers. You can use TCPA Shield in three ways:

1. Enable TCPA Shield in your Ringba campaigns to block incoming calls from unwanted numbers
2. Upload a file of numbers to check each one and scrub offending numbers from the file 
3. Use the TCPA Shield API to integrate real-time number checks into any of your business systems

This article covers the third option. If you want to learn more about the other two options, see TCPA Shield by Ringba.

TCPA Shield is available to admin users. It is included in all Ringba subscription plans, Business, Professional and Enterprise, but you must request it be enabled in your account. Contact your Account Manager to enable TCPA Shield.
