Description
Tambua is an API designed for developers that facilitates one-time password (OTP) verification, specifically tailored for applications aimed at users in various African markets. By making API calls, applications can request a verification code that is delivered through multiple channels such as SMS, WhatsApp, voice, email, or M-PESA. Additionally, the system includes an ordered channel fallback feature, allowing codes to be rerouted through alternative channels in case of delivery failures or timeouts. It operates using shared sender IDs and offers a pricing structure that varies by country, along with features like signed webhooks, detailed request logs, free test keys, and a Node.js SDK. This makes it easier for developers to integrate verification processes into account sign-ups, logins, and transaction confirmations across sectors like fintech, e-commerce, gaming, logistics, and other mobile or web-based applications. The API is particularly designed for teams that require reliable phone number verification or need to authenticate sensitive actions within the African market, where the availability and costs of channels may differ by location, adding an extra layer of flexibility for developers working in diverse regions.
