Your First Verification

This guide will help you get started with the Number Verify API by going through the steps to perform your first verification.

Prerequisites​

Before you begin, you need to have the following:

Step 1: Get your API Credentials​

To get your API Credentials, you can go to the Number Verify Product Page and click on "Manage on Provider" to access the service dashboard. For a full guide on how to get your credentials, you can refer to the Registration guide.

Step 2: Create a new project​

Create a new folder and enter the folder from a terminal.

mkdir number-verify-test
cd number-verify-test
go mod init number-verify-test

Step 3: Initialize the SDK and Web Server​

go get github.com/GlideApis/sdk-go

Step 4: Perform a Verification​

main.go
package main

import (
    "github.com/GlideApis/sdk-go/pkg/glide"
    "github.com/GlideApis/sdk-go/pkg/types"
    "encoding/json"
    "net/http"
    "fmt"
)

func main() {
    glideClient, err := glide.NewGlideClient(types.GlideSdkSettings{
        ClientID:     "<client_id>",
        ClientSecret: "<client_secret>",
    })
    if err != nil {
        // handle error
        return
    }
    phoneNumber := "+555123456789"
    authUrl, err := glideClient.NumberVerify.GetAuthURL(types.NumberVerifyAuthUrlInput{
        UseDevNumber: phoneNumber,
        PrintCode: true,
    })
    if err != nil {
        // handle error
        return
    }
    // Get verification code
    codeRes, err := http.Get(authUrl)
    if err != nil {
        // handle error
        return
    }
    defer codeRes.Body.Close()
    var codeResStruct struct {
        Code string `json:"code"`
    }
    if err := json.NewDecoder(codeRes.Body).Decode(&codeResStruct); err != nil {
        // handle error
        return
    }
    numberVerifyUserClient, err := glideClient.NumberVerify.For(types.NumberVerifyClientForParams{
        Code: codeResStruct.Code,
        PhoneNumber: &phoneNumber,
    })
    if err != nil {
        // handle error
        return
    }
    numberVerifyResponse, err := numberVerifyUserClient.VerifyNumber(nil, types.ApiConfig{})
    if err != nil {
        // handle error
        return
    }
    fmt.Println("Number verification result:", numberVerifyResponse.DevicePhoneNumberVerified)
}

To execute this you can the following from a terminal in the directory of your code:

go run main.go
