As part of Twilio's Trusted Activation offerings, the Twilio Verify API makes it simple to add phone verification to your web application. It supports codes sent via voice and SMS. To start working with the API, first create an application in the console and get the API Key.
All URLs in the reference documentation use the following base URL:
https://api.authy.com
All requests to the Verify REST API are served over HTTPS. Unencrypted HTTP is not supported.
All HTTP requests to the Verify REST API /protected endpoints are protected with an API Secret you pass as an HTTP header X-Authy-API-Key, e.g.:
1curl -XPOST 'https://api.authy.com/protected/json/phones/verification/start' \2-H "X-Authy-API-Key: $VERIFY_API_KEY" \3-d via='sms' \4-d phone_number='987-654-3210' \5-d country_code=1
The Verify API Key can be found in the Verify section of the Twilio Console after clicking through to your application.
- Create a new Verify application in the Twilio Console.
- Send a Verification Token via SMS or Voice
- Check the Verification Token
