-H 'Accept: */*' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer your-token' \

Verify API Usage

PindoVerfiy API lets you send a PIN to a user's phone and validate that they received it. PindoVerfiy can be used for a number of authentication and anti-fraud purposes, such as 2-factor authentication, password-less sign-in, and validating users’ phone numbers.

• An example of a successfully generated PIN.

{
    "message": "success",
    "network": "63510",
    "remaining_balance": 487.49,
    "request_id": 4
}
