WaridWhatsApp OTP
Send verification codes on WhatsApp.
Your customers already have WhatsApp open. Warid makes the code, sends it with your authentication template and its Copy code button, and checks it when they type it back. Two API calls, and nothing to store on your side.
482913 is your verification code. For your security, do not share this code.
What you get
Sign-in codes without the extra work
Two API calls
POST /api/v1/otp sends the code and POST /api/v1/otp/verify checks it. That's the whole integration.
A Copy code button
Codes go out with your approved authentication template, so customers copy them with one tap.
Your rules
Choose 4 to 8 digits and how long the code works, up to 30 minutes. The default is 6 digits for 10 minutes.
Safe by default
Only a keyed hash of each code is stored. A new code cancels the previous one, and wrong tries stop at five.
Limits against abuse
A phone number can get a new code every 30 seconds, and no more than five codes an hour.
From the number they know
Codes come from the same WhatsApp number you already use with your customers.

Questions
Asked often
Ten minutes by default. You can set anything from 1 to 30 minutes when you send it.
After five wrong attempts the code stops working, and the customer needs a new one.
Yes, after 30 seconds. The new code replaces the old one, so only the latest code works.
A little. OTP runs from your own app or website through the Warid API. The docs have examples you can copy, or paste into your AI coding assistant.
Your customers are already writing.
