Number Verify
The Number Verify API is a service that allows you to verify that a phone number belongs to the person claiming it. This is useful for verifying a user's phone number during the registration process or for verifying a user's phone number when they are trying to recover their account.
The Number Verify service has 1 main endpoint:
- Verify Number: This endpoint allows you to verify a phone number. You can provide a phone number and a token retrieved from the user's phone to verify the phone number.
Overview
To verify a phone matches the number the user claims it is, you start by authenticating the user's phone anonymously with the telecom operator. This will provide you with an access token where the identity of the device is known to the telecom operator.
You then use the access token to check a phone number. If the phone number matches the phone's identity, the telecom operator will return a success response. If the phone number does not match the phone's identity, the telecom operator will return an error response.
