.addHeader("Content-Type","application/json")
.build();
Response response = client.newCall(request).execute();
System.out.println(response.body().string());
Note: The API key needs to be obtained through registration and login on websites such as APISpace .
Realization principle
We will introduce the basic working principle of the verification code SMS API, including the process of sending verification code SMS, how the API interacts with operators, and the process of users receiving and verifying verification codes.
1) SMS gateway and operator channel
The concept and function of the SMS gateway: The SMS gateway is a bridge between the application system and the operator, and is used to realize the sending and receiving of the SMS. It is responsible for sending the short message content generated by the application system to the corresponding operator channel, and passing the received short message back to the application system from the operator channel. The SMS gateway plays the role of relay and forwarding, realizing the cross-network sending of SMS.
Selection and working mechanism of the operator channel: The operator channel refers to the communication interface established with the three major operators (China Mobile, China Unicom, China Telecom) and virtual operators. When sending the verification code SMS, the SMS gateway will select the corresponding operator channel to send the SMS according to the operator of the target mobile phone number. Different operator channels may have different interface specifications and transmission protocols, but they all follow corresponding technical standards to ensure that SMS messages can be accurately sent to users' mobile phones.
2) Verification code generation algorithm
A verification code is a randomly generated combination of numbers, letters, or symbols used to verify a user's identity. When generating verification codes, certain security and readability requirements need to be met.
The following are common verification code generation algorithms:
- Random number generation algorithm: Use a random number generator to generate a string of random numbers or letters of a specified length, and then send it to the user as a verification code. The random number generation algorithm is simple and fast, but there may be characters that are not easy to recognize, which affects the user experience.
- Hash Algorithm: Hash the current timestamp, user phone number and other information with the key to generate a unique verification code. The verification code generated by the hash algorithm has good randomness and uniqueness, but it is necessary to pay attention to the confidentiality of the key to prevent the verification code from being generated maliciously.
- Hybrid Algorithm: Combining multiple random generation methods, such as a combination of random numbers and timestamps, to improve the security and readability of captchas.
- Validity setting: The generated verification code should be set with a valid period to ensure that the user uses the verification code within a certain period of time to prevent verification failure caused by the expiration of the verification code.
3) Technical implementation of SMS sending
SMS sending involves the interaction process between the application background and the SMS gateway.
The following are the technical implementation steps of SMS sending:
- User requests a verification code: The user triggers an operation to request a verification code on the application interface, such as clicking the Get Verification Code button.
- Generate a verification code: After receiving the user's request, the application background generates a verification code according to a preset generation algorithm, and binds the verification code to the user's mobile phone number.
- Call the SMS gateway: The application background calls the SMS gateway interface, and submits the generated verification code and target mobile phone number to the SMS gateway.
- Select operator channel: The SMS gateway selects the corresponding operator channel to send SMS according to the operator of the target mobile phone number.
- Operator sends SMS: The SMS gateway sends a SMS containing a verification code to the target mobile phone number through the selected operator channel.
- The user receives a text message: The user's mobile phone receives a text message, which contains the generated verification code.
- Verify verification code: The user enters the received verification code and submits it to the application background for verification.
- Verification result return: The application background verifies the verification code submitted by the user, returns the verification result to the user, and completes the entire verification code SMS verification process.
High arrival rate and optimization strategy
- Why High Reach Rate Matters
In the verification code SMS scenario, a high arrival rate is crucial. Only when the user receives the verification code SMS accurately can the validity and security of the verification process be ensured. A high arrival rate directly affects user experience and application reliability, and can enhance users' trust in the application.
- Factors Affecting Arrival Rate
- Operator channel quality: Different operators have different SMS channel quality, choosing a stable and reliable operator channel can improve the arrival rate.
- Number status: The status of the user's mobile phone number (such as downtime, arrears, etc.) will affect the success rate of SMS sending.
- Network status: The geographical location and network environment of the user will also affect the sending of SMS.
- …
- Optimization strategy: verification code text message content and format
- Concise and clear content: The text message content should be concise and clear, directly express the function and usage of the verification code, and avoid introducing too much irrelevant information.
- Avoid sensitive words: Sensitive words should be avoided in SMS content to avoid being intercepted by operators.
- …
Application Scenario Analysis of Verification Code SMS
SMS verification code is a very common verification method, and a randomly generated verification code can be sent to the user's mobile phone via SMS for verification. In different business scenarios, SMS verification codes can be applied to various verification scenarios. The following are some typical application scenarios:
1. Mobile registration
In the era of mobile Internet, mobile phone registration has become a very common registration method. When users register, they need to enter their mobile phone number, and verify the authenticity of the mobile phone number through SMS verification codes, avoid malicious registration and false information, and ensure the authenticity and security of user information.
2. Retrieve password
When the user forgets the password, the verification code can be obtained through the mobile phone number for verification, and then the password can be reset by entering the verification code. This method is simpler and faster than the traditional method of retrieving passwords, and can improve user experience.
3. Payment Verification
In payment scenarios such as Alipay and WeChat Pay, it is necessary to use SMS verification codes to ensure the security and reliability of transactions, and to prevent criminals from stealing user accounts for fraudulent and illegal transactions.
4. Change information
When users change the important information of registration management, they can fill in the mobile phone verification code and operate with one key, which provides security and convenience.
