MNV Generate OTP API
Send a verification OTP to an Indian mobile number and receive a reference ID for confirming the code and the subscriber details.
What the MNV Generate OTP API does
MNV Generate OTP starts mobile number verification. It sends a one-time password to the number supplied and returns a reference ID that ties the eventual confirmation back to this attempt.
The reference ID matters for correctness. It keeps concurrent verifications distinct, so a user with two attempts in flight cannot accidentally confirm the wrong one.
Where teams use the MNV Generate OTP API
Verifying a mobile number at sign-up
Confirming a number change on an existing account
Proving the customer controls the number before sending sensitive alerts
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How long is the OTP valid?
A few minutes. After that, generate a new one rather than asking the user to retry the old code.
Can I resend to the same number?
Yes, and each request returns its own reference ID. Confirm against the reference from the most recent send.
Is there a way to verify without an OTP?
Yes. MNV Without OTP returns subscriber and network details with no message sent, though it does not prove the person is holding the phone.
