GetOTP

Verified Jul 2026

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

  1. Sign up with the provider to get an API key.
  2. Send it on every request as a headerAuthorization: <key>
  3. The exact header isn't documented — Authorization is a common default; confirm in the provider's docs.
Stored keyNo key stored

Your key is stored only in this browser (localStorage) and sent directly to the API — never to greatapis.
