Check verification code

Check the verification code that a user has provided. Use the request_id that was received when the verification code was sent.

Note: You should always check the verification code after sending it. This enables Vonage to determine the number of successful requests and protect against fraudulent use of the platform

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)
`CODE`	The code the user supplies as having been sent to them

Write the code

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

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

We can use the application plugin for Gradle to simplify the running of our application. Update your build.gradle with the following:

  apply plugin: 'application'
  mainClassName = project.hasProperty('main') ? project.getProperty('main') : ''

Run the following gradle command to execute your application, replacing com.vonage.quickstart.verify with the package containing CheckVerification:

gradle run -Pmain=com.vonage.quickstart.verify.CheckVerification
