Verify API

As businesses expand their digital presence, ensuring seamless authentication methods to protect user data and maintain trust becomes increasingly crucial. While SMS is expected to remain the global authentication standard, you need to be prepared for the introduction of additional, more secure verification channels. In this API series blog article, you’ll learn how the Telesign Verify API can help you scale to new channels with minimal development resources. 

Authenticate across seven channels using a single API

Verify API gives you access to all Telesign’s verification channels in a single API: SMS, Silent Verification, Push, Email, WhatsApp, Viber, and RCS. There’s a significant advantage for developers using unified verification channels as they can easily add new channels without any additional integration work. 

Tailor delivery based on your priorities

Customize your routing decisions based on cost, market, or customer preference with Verify API dynamic routing. For example, you can use a less expensive verification channel like RCS in one country while prioritizing customer preferences in another.  

Protect against delivery failures with multichannel fallback

Mitigate the effects of failed deliveries and channel downtime with the Verify API global fallback capability. Transactions can fall back to other available channels if verification through your preferred channel is unsuccessful.
