Telegram Verify API - Overview

Dexatel’s Telegram Verify API offers a secure and user-friendly method for verifying customer identities using Telegram, one of the world's fastest-growing messaging platforms. This solution enables you to send one-time verification codes directly to users via Telegram, providing a modern and cost-effective alternative to SMS or voice verification methods.

Key Features

  • Telegram-Based Verification: Deliver one-time passwords (OTPs) directly to users via Telegram.
  • Global Reach: Engage Telegram users across the globe, regardless of location.
  • Instant Delivery: Ensure rapid delivery of verification codes with Telegram’s real-time infrastructure.
  • Secure Authentication: Safeguard user accounts using Telegram's encrypted environment.
  • Fallback Support: Optionally combine with fallback channels (e.g., SMS, WhatsApp) to ensure delivery if Telegram is unavailable.

How It Works

  1. Initiate: Start the process by sending a verification request to the API, including the recipient’s phone number.
  2. Message Sending: The API generates a unique one-time verification code and sends it to the user via a Telegram message.
  3. User Verification: The user enters the received code in your application, which is then submitted to the API for validation.
  4. Completion: Upon a successful match, the user’s identity is verified, and the verification process is completed securely.

This process ensures a quick, reliable, and secure method of user verification via Telegram.
