> ## Agent Instructions
> For chatbots and coding agents, start at /guides/ai-agents.
> Hosted MCP: POST https://api.robase.dev/mcp (Streamable HTTP). Auth: Authorization: Bearer robe_… or robe_agent_….
> Phase 1 tools: get_pricing, send_otp, verify_otp, get_otp, send_sms, get_sms. No payment or top-up tools.
> Call get_pricing; treat listed:true as marketed markets (NG, GH, KE, ZA, GB, BJ, CI, US). Do not invent countries or delivery percentages.
> Prefer OTP-shaped tests such as "Your Robase test OTP is 123456". Do not send Hello or Good morning as tests. Match errors on error.type.

# Get an OTP

## OpenAPI

````yaml openapi.yaml GET /v1/otp/{id}
openapi: 3.0.3
info:
  title: Robase SMS OTP API
  description: >
    Multi-provider SMS OTP delivery and transactional SMS API with automatic

    failover and per-country routing. Send and verify one-time passwords across

    Africa and globally.


    ## Authentication


    Every endpoint under `/v1` requires an API key issued in the dashboard,

    passed as a bearer token:


    ```

    Authorization: Bearer robe_your_api_key_here

    ```


    ## Idempotency


    `POST` endpoints accept an `Idempotency-Key` header. Replaying the same key

    within 24 hours returns the original response instead of sending a second

    message — so a request that times out mid-flight can be retried safely

    without double-charging credits. The official SDKs generate a key for every

    `POST` automatically.


    ## Rate limits


    Requests are limited per client IP (100/minute) and per destination phone

    number (3 OTP sends / 10 minutes, 10 OTP verifications / 10 minutes,

    10 transactional SMS / minute). Exceeding a limit returns `429` with a

    `Retry-After` header.


    ## Errors


    Failures return a consistent envelope:


    ```json

    {"error": {"type": "insufficient_credits", "message": "insufficient credit
    balance"}}

    ```


    Match on `error.type` — it is stable — rather than on `error.message`, which

    is prose and may change.


    ## Languages


    `error.message` is written in your workspace's default language. Send an

    `Accept-Language` header (`en` or `fr`) to override that for one request —

    it changes only the prose, never `error.type`.


    `Accept-Language` does not affect the text of an SMS. The OTP message body

    follows the workspace's language setting, or the `language` field on

    `POST /v1/otp/send`. A header describing which language *you* read should

    not decide what your end user receives.


    ## Webhooks


    Dashboard-configured HTTPS callbacks. The signed body is compact JSON

    (no pretty-print, no HTML escaping of `<>&`). HMAC-SHA256 is over those

    exact bytes. Envelope and `data` objects are `WebhookEnvelope`,

    `OTPWebhookData`, `SMSWebhookData`, and `CreditWebhookData`.

      description: |
        Retrieves the current status and details of an OTP. The code itself is
        never returned — only its length and hash-verified state.

        `timeline` lists each hop the OTP took, oldest first: `queued`, `sent`,
        `delivered`, then `verified`, `expired` or `failed`. A `failed` hop
        carries a `reason` token and whether the credit was `refunded`. See
        [Delivery timeline](/sms/delivery-timeline).
