HTTP request
GET {{API_URL}}/api/v1/users/
Verify a user’s phone number
Use this endpoint to set and verify another user’s phone number without a verification code. Because the endpoint bypasses phone ownership verification, confirm that the number belongs to the user before you submit the request. You can’t use this endpoint to verify your own number or assign a phone number to a service account.
Required permission: grafana-irm-app.user-settings:admin
This endpoint is available on paid plans. It isn’t available on Free or trial plans. For authentication options, refer to Authentication.
HTTP request: POST /api/v1/users/{user_id}/verify_phone_number/
For USER_ID, use the id returned by List users.
Send a JSON object with the following fields:
| Field | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
phone_number | Yes | Phone number in E.164 format, including the country code, for example, +12025550123. Extensions aren’t supported. |
replace_existing | No | Boolean. Set to true to replace a different verified number. Defaults to false. |
To set and verify a number using a service account token:
curl "<API_URL>/api/v1/users/<USER_ID>/verify_phone_number/" \
--request POST \
--header "Authorization: Bearer <SERVICE_ACCOUNT_TOKEN>" \
--header "X-Grafana-URL: https://<STACK_SLUG>.grafana.net" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data '{"phone_number": "+12025550123"}'To approve replacing a different verified number, send this body to the same endpoint:
{
"phone_number": "+12025550124",
"replace_existing": true
}The request returns a response in the following format:
{
"id": "U4DNY931HHJS5",
"status": "verified"
}The status is verified when the number is newly verified or replaces a different number.
It is unchanged when the user already has that number verified.
IRM attempts to send an SMS confirmation to the newly verified number. If you replace a number, IRM also attempts to send a disconnection message to the previous number. The number remains verified if either message can’t be delivered.
| HTTP status | Meaning |
|---|---|
200 | The number is verified or was already verified. |
400 | The request contains a missing or invalid value, or an unknown field. |
403 | You don’t have the required permission or plan, you’re verifying your own number, or the number is blocked. |
404 | The user wasn’t found in your stack, is inactive, or is a service account. |
409 | The user has a different verified number. To replace it, set replace_existing to true. |
429 | A rate limit was exceeded. Wait for the Retry-After interval before retrying. |
This endpoint allows 10 requests per minute per caller and 30 requests per minute per stack. Retries count toward these limits.
If a request times out, you can retry it with the same phone number. Repeating a successful request returns
unchanged and doesn’t resend SMS messages.
