Initiate Verification

Begin verifying a phone number. TryVox generates a 6-digit OTP and delivers it to the number via voice call (default) or SMS. The number is recorded as pending until the OTP is submitted via Submit OTP.

  "id": "8f7a4b2e-91c2-4f3d-9a1e-2c4b6d8f0a1c",
  "phone_number": "+919876543210",
  "verification_status": "pending",
  "message": "Verification code sent via call to +919876543210"
}

Response fields

• id — UUID of the caller ID record. Use it as a stable handle in your own systems.
• phone_number — the number being verified, echoed back.
• verification_status — always pending on first initiation.
• message — human-readable confirmation of the delivery channel.

Behavior

• Re-initiation while pending: allowed. Submitting a new request for the same phone_number resets the OTP to a fresh value. The old OTP becomes invalid.
• Already verified: if the number is already verified on this account, the API returns 409 ALREADY_VERIFIED instead of issuing a new OTP. Delete the entry first if you want to re-verify.
• OTP delivery latency: voice OTPs typically arrive within 5–10 seconds; SMS within 30 seconds depending on carrier.
• OTP lifetime: valid until a new initiation is requested for the same number.
