Using Services

In this guide, you’ll verify a phone number using Sapiom — no Prelude account required.

1. Get Your API Key

   Sign in to the Sapiom Dashboard and generate an API key.

   Caution

   Store your API key securely. Never commit it to version control or expose it in client-side code.

   Add your API key to your environment:

   export SAPIOM_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"

2. Install the SDK

   npm install @sapiom/fetch

3. Send a Verification Code

   Create a file called verify.ts and add the following code:

   import { createFetch } from '@sapiom/fetch';
   
   const fetch = createFetch({
     apiKey: process.env.SAPIOM_API_KEY!,
   });
   
   async function sendVerificationCode(phoneNumber: string) {
     const response = await fetch(
       'https://prelude.services.sapiom.ai/verifications',
       {
         method: 'POST',
         headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
         body: JSON.stringify({
           target: {
             type: 'phone_number',
             value: phoneNumber,
           },
         }),
       }
     );
   
     const data = await response.json();
     console.log('Verification sent!');
     console.log('Verification ID:', data.id);
     return data.id;
   }
   
   // Replace with your phone number (E.164 format)
   sendVerificationCode('+15551234567');

   Run it:

   npx tsx verify.ts

   You’ll receive a text message with a verification code.

4. Check the Code

   Update your file to check the code:

   import { createFetch } from '@sapiom/fetch';
   
   const fetch = createFetch({
     apiKey: process.env.SAPIOM_API_KEY!,
   });
   
   async function checkVerificationCode(verificationId: string, code: string) {
     const response = await fetch(
       'https://prelude.services.sapiom.ai/verifications/check',
       {
         method: 'POST',
         headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
         body: JSON.stringify({
           verificationRequestId: verificationId,
           code: code,
         }),
       }
     );
   
     const data = await response.json();
     if (data.status === 'success') {
       console.log('Phone number verified!');
     } else {
       console.log('Verification failed:', data.status);
     }
   }
   
   // Use the verification ID from step 3 and the code you received
   checkVerificationCode('your-verification-id', '123456');

   Run it with your verification ID and the code from your text message:

   npx tsx verify.ts

5. See It in the Dashboard

   Open the Sapiom Dashboard to see your verification transaction.

   You just verified a phone number with zero Prelude account setup. That’s the power of Sapiom.
