The TeleSign SMS Verify API, now available on RapidAPI, offers a streamlined way for developers to enhance user security and prevent fraud by verifying phone numbers through the dispatch of verification codes. This API simplifies the process by requiring only a phone number, a verification code, and optionally, the application name, enabling users to receive a text message with their verification code. This message varies slightly depending on whether the app name is included. Developers can easily integrate the API using code snippets provided in various programming languages, with the API operating on a credit system to determine the cost of each verification message, which varies by the destination country. The announcement highlights the importance of user verification for security and conveys the ease of implementation and billing details.
