POST/api/v1/messaging/otp

Send a one-time passcode over SMS, WhatsApp, voice, or email. The response returns a reference_id you’ll pass to Validate OTP to confirm the code the user enters.

Headers

Header	Required	Description
`Authorization`	Yes	Your app’s secret key, sent as-is.
`AppId`	Yes	The App ID from your dashboard.
`Content-Type`	Yes	`application/json`

Body parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`sender_id`	string	Yes	A registered Sender ID to send from.
`destination`	string	Yes	Recipient phone number (for SMS, WhatsApp, voice).
`channel`	string	Yes	Delivery channel: `sms`, `whatsapp`, `voice`, or `email`.
`email`	string	No	Recipient email address — required when `channel` is `email`.
`length`	integer	No	Number of digits in the code, 4–10. Default `6`.
`expiry`	integer	No	Minutes before the code expires. Default `10`.
`priority`	boolean	No	Send in priority mode. Default `false`.
`otp`	integer	No	Supply your own code (4–10 digits) instead of having Dojah generate one.

Response

Returns 200 OK with an entity object. Store the reference_id — it’s the only way to validate the code later.

Field	Type	Description
`reference_id`	string	Unique ID for this OTP. Pass it to Validate OTP.
`destination`	string	The phone number or email the code was sent to.
`status`	string	Human-readable delivery status, e.g. `SMS sent successfully`.

Errors

Code	Meaning
`400`	Bad request — a required field is missing or malformed.
`401`	Unauthorized — check your `Authorization` key and `AppId`.
`402`	Payment required — your wallet balance is too low. Fund your wallet.
`422`	Unprocessable — e.g. an unregistered `sender_id` or invalid `channel`.
`429`	Too many requests — slow your request rate and retry.
