Quick Start: JavaScript

There are three steps to integrating the Phone Verification API into your Node.js project.

1. Create an account.

Sign up for an Esendex account. When you register you will receive a license key. You will need this to use the API.

2. Install Node.js.

Install Node.js if it is not on your computer already. To check, run this command in your terminal: node -v

PS C:\> node -v
v18.16.0

3. Verify a phone number.

Install a SOAP client for Node.js. Run this command in your terminal: npm install soap

Create a new JavaScript module file. Let’s call it demo.mjs.

You can use the CheckPhoneNumber method to verify a phone number. Add the displayed code to your new file.

Replace the LicenseKey value with your account’s license key.

import soap from 'soap';

const url = 'https://ws.esendex.us/phoneverify/phoneverify.asmx?wsdl';
const args = {
    'PhoneNumber': '17575449510',
    'LicenseKey': '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000'
};

const client = await soap.createClientAsync(url);
const result = await client.CheckPhoneNumberAsync(args);
console.log(result[0]);

Run the project in your terminal with this command: node demo.mjs. The program will display the results of the phone number verification.
