The API has been deprecated. Looking to build a one-time phone verification? Use our Number Verification API instead for a more flexible solution

EXAMPLES

from messente.verigator.api import Api

# Initialize API
api = Api("messente-api-username", "messente-api-password")

# Create your service
service = api.services.get("my-service-id")

# Initialize user
user = api.users.get(service.id, "verigator-user-id")

# Start authentication
auth_id = api.auth.initiate(service.id, user.id, api.auth.METHOD_TOTP)

public static final String API_USERNAME = "";
public static final String API_PASSWORD = "";
public static final String VERIGATOR_SERVICE_ID = "";

// Initialize the Verigator API with your Messente API credentials
Verigator verigator = new Verigator(API_USERNAME, API_PASSWORD);

// After creating the service, for all future requests you get Service instance like this:
service = Service.get(verigator, VERIGATOR_SERVICE_ID);

// Now you can start syncing your service's users to Verigator
User user = service.registerUser("youremail@example.com", "+3725555555");

// You can use SMS or TOTP (verification via Verigator app)
if (USE_SMS) {
    user.authenticateUsingSMS();
} else {
    user.authenticateUsingTotp();
}
