Applies To
- Verify API
- PIN Code
- Response Code 17
Answer
A single Verify request can be checked up to 3 times using the Verify Check API call unless a new PIN code is generated.* If you check a request more than 3 times, it will be set to FAILED and you'll not be able to check it any more (even if you get the right PIN in the end).
We do this to prevent abuse and as part of safeguarding the security the Vonage Verify service for all our customers.
*Note: If a new PIN code is generated on the retry based on pin_expiry setting, there will be 3 more attempts available.
