Request Verification Code
POST https://graph.facebook.com/{{Version}}/{{Phone-Number-ID}}/request_code
You need to verify the phone number you want to use to send messages to your customers. Phone numbers must be verified through SMS/voice call. The verification process can be done through the Graph API calls specified below.
To verify a phone number using Graph API, make a POST request to {{PHONE_NUMBER_ID}}/request_code. In your call, include your chosen verification method and locale. You need to authenticate yourself using {{User-Access-Token}} (This is automatically done for you in the Request Verification Code request).
