TruerCaller Tasker

This project uses Tasker and termux-tasker to automate calls to the Truecaller API and present a pop up while a call is ringing.

Installing and configuring our environment

Inside Termux we need to do the following:

Install truecallerjs with:

npm install -g truecallerjs

When we install packages with npm, the shebang is /usr/bin/env. However, that path does not exist in Termux, so we need to adjust it. Luckily, Termux has a helper script for that:

termux-fix-shebang /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/truecallerjs

Then, we need to put the contents of this repo to /data/data/com.termux/files/home/tasker

With everything in place, we need to configure truecallerjs. To do that, we need to execute:

truecallerjs login

That command will send an SMS or a WhatsApp message with a code, if we enter it correctly, we should be ready to test our setup.

Executing our script

To verify if everything works, let's execute the following command.

(Keep in mind that you need to set the PHONE_NUMBER variable or replace it with a value)

/data/data/com.termux/files/home/.termux/tasker/parse.sh ${PHONE_NUMBER}

With that, we are ready to configure Tasker.

Importing the profile to tasker
