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:

Name	Description
`NEXMO_API_KEY`	Your Nexmo API key
`NEXMO_API_SECRET`	Your Nexmo API secret
`REQUEST_ID`	The ID of the Verify request you wish to cancel (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:

Copy to Clipboard

curl -X GET "https://api.nexmo.com/verify/check/json?&api_key=$NEXMO_API_KEY&api_secret=$NEXMO_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.nexmo.quickstart.verify with the package containing CheckVerification:

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