# vonage-verify — Vonage verify package

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 336.3K/mo

## 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.

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Vonage Verify package provides Python integration with Vonage's Verify API for 2-factor authentication via SMS, Voice, WhatsApp, Email, and Silent Authentication.

Yes, if you are already using Vonage's communications platform and need Python 2FA integration. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, low install friction, and permissive licensing. Install only as part of the vonage SDK; it is not a standalone client.

## Install

pip install vonage-verify
uv add vonage-verify
poetry add vonage-verify

## Installing vonage-verify

Before you install: Low install friction with a pure-Python wheel. Active maintenance with recent commits and a stable dependency chain on vonage-http-client, vonage-utils, and pydantic.

License in practice: Licensed under Apache Software License (permissive), allowing commercial and private use with minimal restrictions.

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)

Requires vonage_client instance from the main vonage package; intended for use as part of the vonage SDK.

Verify before relying:

- Whether vonage-http-client and vonage-utils are stable and well-maintained external dependencies.
- Rate limits or quota constraints on Vonage Verify API calls through this package.
