Avi, Not all CNAM is created equal. I have a client that went with a cheaper provider and many of times he gets back an error that there is no record. After a lot of complaints I tested with the carrier I use and every time we got a correct response. I can't speak for the providers mentioned below but you need to compare apples to apples.

I don't work for them, but I am a satisfied client of theirs. They have a simple REST API <https://www.opencnam.com/docs/v2/apiref> and you can choose plain text/json/jsonp/xml/yaml as a response. Paid tier costs only $.004 per lookup and there's no setup fees. That's why I had to mention them.... it's 4-10x cheaper than the OP. They have great integration instructions<https://www.opencnam.com/docs/v2/pbx>, e.g. for Asterisk.
