Create Verification Flow for Native Apps

This endpoint initiates a verification flow for API clients such as mobile devices, smart TVs, and so on.

To fetch an existing verification flow call /self-service/verification/flows?flow=<flow_id>.

You MUST NOT use this endpoint in client-side (Single Page Apps, ReactJS, AngularJS) nor server-side (Java Server Pages, NodeJS, PHP, Golang, ...) browser applications. Using this endpoint in these applications will make you vulnerable to a variety of CSRF attacks.

This endpoint MUST ONLY be used in scenarios such as native mobile apps (React Native, Objective C, Swift, Java, ...).

More information can be found at Ory Email and Phone Verification Documentation.
