@chilly-king-10285 Using typescript and axios to send requests to the HTTP API, show an example of how to verify an OTC.

Certainly! To verify a one-time code (OTC) using TypeScript and Axios with the Ory Kratos HTTP API, you need to: 1. Obtain the verification flow ID (usually from the query parameter in the verification URL). 2. Submit the code and required fields to the verification endpoint. Below is a TypeScript example using Axios, based directly on the Ory documentation:
Copy code
typescript import axios from "axios"  const projectSlug = process.env.ORY_PROJECT_SLUG const flowId = "<your-verification-flow-id>" const code = "<the-code-user-received-via-email>"  async function verifyOTC() {   try {     const response = await <http://axios.post|axios.post>(       `https://${projectSlug}.<http://projects.oryapis.com/self-service/verification?flow=${flowId}|projects.oryapis.com/self-service/verification?flow=${flowId}>`,       {         method: "code",         code: code,       },       {         headers: {           "Content-Type": "application/json",           "Accept": "application/json",         },         // If cookies are required for the flow, include them here         // withCredentials: true,       }     )     console.log("Verification successful:", response.data)   } catch (error) {     if (axios.isAxiosError(error)) {       console.error("Verification failed:", error.response?.data)     } else {       console.error("Unexpected error:", error)     }   } }  verifyOTC()
Replace
<your-verification-flow-id>
and
<the-code-user-received-via-email>
with the actual values from your flow. This code matches the documented curl example for submitting a verification flow, adapted for TypeScript and Axios usage [Submit verification flow](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/bring-your-own-ui/custom-ui-basic-integration#submit-verification-flow).

@chilly-king-10285 There is no flow ID, there is no verification URL. This is to verify a OTC, not verify an email for an identity

A message from kapa.ai
I'm sorry, but the knowledge sources provided do not contain enough information to answer how to verify a one-time code (OTC) without a flow ID or verification URL using TypeScript and Axios. All documented flows for verifying OTCs (such as email or phone verification) in Ory Kratos require a verification flow, which is identified by a flow ID and typically initiated via a verification URL. The API examples and documentation consistently reference the need for a flow context to submit the code for verification [Submit verification flow](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/bring-your-own-ui/custom-ui-basic-integration#submit-verification-flow). If you are referring to a different type of OTC verification (not tied to identity/email/phone verification flows), the knowledge sources do not provide details or examples for such a use case. If you can clarify the context or provide more details, I can check again, but based on the current documentation, a flow ID is required for OTC verification.

@chilly-king-10285 Request failed with status code 404
b
A message from kapa.ai
A 404 status code from the Ory HTTP API typically means that the resource you are trying to access does not exist or the endpoint is incorrect. In the context of verifying an OTC (one-time code), common causes for a 404 error include: - The flow ID or endpoint is incorrect or missing. - The flow has expired or is no longer valid. - The URL or API path is not correct for the operation you are attempting. The Ory API returns a standard JSON error format for 404 errors, which may include a message like "The requested resource could not be found" or "Object with ID ... does not exist" [Ory API Reference - getVerificationFlow](https://www.ory.sh/docs/reference/api). If you are using a flow-based endpoint (such as for verification or registration), ensure that you are passing the correct flow ID and using the correct endpoint. If you are not using a flow ID, but the API expects one, you will receive a 404 error. If you are using Ory Network with a tunnel or proxy, also ensure that your requests are routed correctly and that the tunnel is active and configured for the right project. Issues with tunnels or misconfigured endpoints can also result in 404 errors [Github Issue: Registration flow fails with 404 with tunnel and ory-cloud](https://github.com/ory/network/issues/259). If you need more specific troubleshooting, please provide the exact endpoint and payload you are using.

@chilly-king-10285 error: { code: 404, status: ‘Not Found’, request: ‘ab2dc2ee-e45a-995e-aac1-907ae13c479b’, reason: ‘The verification request could not be found. Please restart the flow.’, message: ‘The requested resource could not be found’ }

The error message you are seeing:
Copy code
{   code: 404,   status: 'Not Found',   request: 'ab2dc2ee-e45a-995e-aac1-907ae13c479b',   reason: 'The verification request could not be found. Please restart the flow.',   message: 'The requested resource could not be found' }
indicates that the verification flow you are trying to interact with does not exist or has expired. According to the Ory API documentation, a 404 error with this message typically means that the flow ID you provided is invalid, missing, or the flow has already expired and is no longer available. The recommended action is to restart the verification flow and obtain a new flow ID before submitting the OTC or verification code [Kratos API Reference - getVerificationFlow](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/reference/api). If you are not using a flow ID, but the API expects one, you will also receive this error. The knowledge sources do not describe a way to verify an OTC without a flow context. You must initiate a new verification flow and use the correct flow ID in your request. If you continue to see this error after restarting the flow, double-check that you are using the correct endpoint and passing the correct parameters as required by the API [Kratos API Reference - getVerificationFlow](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/reference/api).
