Abstract: A system and method for rate-limiting phone number lookups. An account look-up application receives an address book of a first user, the address book including a phone number that belongs to a second user, creates a phone edge by associating the phone number in the address book with an account of the second user, receives a request including the phone number from the first user for obtaining the account associated with the phone number, determines an edge cost associated with the phone edge for the first user, determines whether to provide the phone edge to the first user based on the edge cost, and provides the phone edge to the first user responsive to a positive determination.

Abstract: A system comprising a processor and a memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the system to receive a phone number; generate a canonical representation of the phone number; compute a correlation analysis between the canonical representation of the phone number and a contacts database; identify at least one contact in the contacts database based on the correlation analysis; select data associated with the at least one contact; and populate information associated with the at least one contact based on the selected data for display to a user.
