How to generate an API Key

Your API Key is first generated when you register an app. To register an app, Login to the Developers Dashboard, Navigate to Apps > Add, Type the name of your app and click Submit. The app will be registered and a new API Key will be generated. Copy the API key into your project

Importing Vereafy Library

If you installed the library using npm or yarn, import the library into your script using the code below

const vereafy = require("vereafy");
vereafy.apiKey = "<API_KEY>"

Otherwise, if you cloned the library from GitHub, import the library into your script using the code below

const vereafy = require("./path/to/vereafy");
vereafy.apiKey = "<API_KEY>"

Initializing 2FA

The Vereafy 2fa initialization can be as simple as the following lines of code:

    var sendData = {
        "mobile": "23480xxxxxxxx"
    };
 
    vereafy.init(senData,(res)=>{
        // If status is success show user form to type OTP
    });

The initialization method returns a response that should look like this:

   {
       "status": "success",
       "pinRef": "1293488527"
   }

Resending OTP

In a case where your app users get impatient and hits the retry link on your app form, just call the resend method this way:

   var sendData = {
       "pinRef": "1293488527",
       "mobile": "23480xxxxxxxx"
   };
 
   vereafy.resend(sendData, (res)=>{
       // If status is success, show user form to type OTP
   });

The resend method returns a response that should look like this:

    {
        "status": "success",
        "pinRef": "1293488527"
    }

Completing 2FA

The Vereafy 2fa completion can be as simple as the following lines of code:

    var sendData = {
        "pinRef": "1293488527",
        "token": "123456"
    }
    vereafy.complete(sendData, (res)=>{
        // Handle failure or success response
    })

The completion method returns a response that should look like this if the parameters are correct:

    {
        "response": "success"
    }

Getting Balance

To get your balance on Vereafy, the getBalance method is used this way: This method requires no parameter:

    vereafy.getBalance((res)=>{
        // Do Something
    })

The get balance method returns a response that should look like:

    {
        "balance": 800
    }

        {
            "error": "Invalid PIN Ref",

        }
