Cancel verification request

If the user decides to cancel the verification process, you should send a control request to the Verify API. This will terminate the verification process even if the user supplied the correct code.

Note: You can only cancel a verification request after 30 seconds, but before any second attempt is made.

Replace the following variables in the sample code with your own values:

Key	Description
`VONAGE_API_KEY`	Your Vonage API key (see it on your dashboard).
`VONAGE_API_SECRET`	Your Vonage API secret (also available on your dashboard).
`REQUEST_ID`	The ID of the Verify request (this is returned in the API response when you send a verification code)

Write the code

Add the following to cancel-verification-code.sh:

curl -X GET "https://api.nexmo.com/verify/control/json?api_key=$VONAGE_API_KEY&api_secret=$VONAGE_API_SECRET&request_id=$REQUEST_ID&cmd=cancel"
