The user opens our MAX bot from a link, shares their number, and receives a one-time code right in the messenger. Our cheapest code channel: 0.30 ₽ per verification, billed only once the code is delivered.
MAX is a Russian messenger, and we deliver one-time codes there through the official Verificahub bot. The difference from Telegram is the “share your number” step: the API response returns a `deep_link`, you show it as a link or a QR code, and the user opens the bot and confirms their number. Only then is the code sent — which filters out wrong and third-party numbers before anything is delivered.
The extra “share your number” step. In Telegram the code goes out immediately; in MAX it is sent only after the user opens the bot from the link and confirms their number — which is why billing happens on delivery.
No code is sent. The session is bound to the number you passed in the request, and that is the number the user has to share.
No. You are charged only for a delivered code — an unopened bot or an unconfirmed number costs nothing.
As a link or a QR code, whichever suits your UI. On mobile the link opens the MAX app directly.
No. Our bot delivers the code — you need no separate account, messenger contract or moderation.
It is enabled per account. Get in touch and we will switch it on; after that it works through the same `POST /v1/verify` with `max_bot`.
