A phone number verification API tutorial

This app is to demonstrate how to create API endpoints for phone number verifications using Twilio SMS and pyotp in Django rest framework

To run this app on your system. Do the following:

How to Run the app

git clone https://github.com/ephraimbuddy/verify.git

Change directory into the app:

cd verify

Create a new virtual environment

python -m venv env

Activate the environment

source env/bin/activate On windows: source env\Scripts\activate

Now install the necessary dependencies:

pip install django djangorestframework twilio pyotp python-decouple

Update the settings file: First you need to signup with twilio to get your accound sd, token and phone number. After you get those things. Create a .env file at the root of this app and add the twilio settings below:

TWILIO_PHONE = your twilio phone number
TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID = your twilio account sid
TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN = your twilio auth token

After installation, run the migration:

python manage.py makemigrations python manage.py migrate

Create super user:

python manage.py createsuperuser

Run the App: python manage.py runserver

Endpoints:

^users/$ [name='user-list']
^users/(?P<pk>[^/.]+)/$ [name='user-detail']
send_sms_code/
verify_phone/<int:sms_code>
^phones/$ [name='phonenumber-list']
^phones/(?P<pk>[^/.]+)/$ [name='phonenumber-detail']
api-auth/

Navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8000/users/. Login and update the phone number. After you have saved it, head to http://127.0.0.1:8000/send_sms_code/ and an sms will be sent to your phone. Use the code sent to form the verify_phone url: http://127.0.0.1:8000/verfiy_phone/your_code_here.
