Send verification request using SMS
You can start the verification process by sending a verify request to the Verify API. The following example will send a request that uses SMS for verification.
Where needed, replace the following variables in the sample code with your own values:
| Key | Description |
|---|---|
JWT | Used to authenticate your request. See Authentication for more information, including how to generate a JWT. |
BRAND_NAME | Included in the message to explain who is confirming the phone number |
VONAGE_APPLICATION_ID | The Vonage Application ID. |
VONAGE_APPLICATION_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH | Private key path. |
TO_NUMBER | The phone number to verify |
