Sinch Verification API

The Sinch Verification API (Sinch Verify) is a dedicated phone number verification product for confirming that a user controls a given mobile number - the core of OTP, two-factor authentication (2FA), and anti-fraud sign-up flows. It supports four verification methods: SMS (one-time passcode), flash call (a missed call whose caller ID is the code), phone call / callout (a spoken or key-press code), and data (seamless / silent verification over the mobile data connection). A verification is started from your backend, the code or caller ID is reported back, and Sinch returns a pass/fail result; status can also be queried by id, by phone number, or by a custom reference. This entry is the product-specific treatment of the Verification API; the parent company Sinch is a global CPaaS provider (SMS, Voice, Email, Verification, Conversation) cataloged separately under the "sinch" provider entry.

Sinch Verification API publishes 3 APIs on the APIs.io network: Report Verification API, Start Verification API, and Verification Status API. Tagged areas include Number Verification, Phone Verification, OTP, 2FA, and CPaaS.

Sinch Verification API’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, signup flow, pricing, and 8 more developer resources.
