vonage-verify

What it is and what it does

Vonage Verify is a Python client library for Vonage's Verify API, designed to handle multi-channel 2-factor authentication and Silent Authentication workflows. It abstracts the HTTP communication and request/response handling through models like VerifyRequest and channel types (SmsChannel, VoiceChannel, WhatsAppChannel, EmailChannel, SilentAuthChannel), allowing developers to construct and send verification requests, check codes, cancel verifications, and trigger workflow events with minimal boilerplate.

The package is intended for use within the broader vonage SDK ecosystem and supports modern Python versions (3.9 through 3.13). It relies on pydantic for request validation and vonage-http-client for transport, keeping the installation lightweight and the API surface focused on Verify-specific operations.

Use it for:

• Implement SMS-based 2FA in a web or mobile backend application.
• Deploy multi-channel verification workflows that fall back from Silent Auth to SMS or Voice.
• Build passwordless or step-up authentication flows using Vonage's Verify service.
• Programmatically check verification codes and manage verification request lifecycles.

Quickstart

from vonage_verify import VerifyRequest, SmsChannel
sms_channel = SmsChannel(to='1234567890')
verify_request = VerifyRequest(brand='Vonage', workflow=[sms_channel])
response = vonage_client.verify.start_verification(verify_request)
