How It Works

Two API calls. That's it.

1

Send Verification Code

Call the API with a phone number. We pick the best route, generate a code, and deliver it via SMS or voice.

2

User Enters Code

Your user receives the OTP and enters it in your app. Codes expire after a configurable timeout.

3

Verify the Code

Call the verify endpoint with the code. We confirm it matches and return success. Done.

Send OTP
curl -X POST https://api.smsedge.com/v1/phone-verifier/send-verification-code \
  -H "X-API-KEY: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -d '{"number": "+905321234567", "country_id": 225}'
Response:
{ "success": true, "data": { "request_id": "a1b2c3d4", "normalized_number": "905321234567" } }
