Authentication & Authorization — entry 002 of 4
GetOTP
GetOTP is a multichannel one-time-password verification API covering SMS, voice call, Telegram, and Viber, with built-in retry and delivery-fallback logic so teams skip building their own OTP pipeline. Requests are authenticated with an X-OTP-Key header against api.otp.dev/v1/verifications, and responses are plain JSON with account_id/message_id tracking fields. New accounts get 100 free verification requests before billing switches to pay-per-verification.

Auth quickstart
- Sign up with the provider to get an API key.
- Send it on every request as a header
Authorization: <key> - The exact header isn't documented — Authorization is a common default; confirm in the provider's docs.
