TAKEED / WHATSAPP VERIFICATION
Takeed OTP: WhatsApp verification for projects in Iraq.
Connect phone verification to your product with Takeed. Send verification codes from your backend and track message status and application credit from one dashboard.
01 / PHONE VERIFICATION
What is a WhatsApp OTP message?
An OTP is a one-time code used to verify a phone number or an action. A WhatsApp verification message delivers the code to the recipient’s phone. The user enters it in your product to complete your verification flow. This is separate from push notifications sent to subscribed devices.
Your backend decides when verification is required, for example during sign-up or account recovery. Delivering a message alone does not authenticate a user: your application must validate the code and enforce its own access rules.
02 / INTEGRATION
How to integrate verification messages
- Create your application in Takeed
Choose your application name and target, then open OTP settings and the API integration section to issue an Authorization key.
- Keep the private key on your server
Do not embed a private API key in Flutter or browser JavaScript. Send authenticated requests from your backend using the international phone number and fields documented in the guide.
- Test and monitor message status
Use the built-in test tools and check the application balance before sending. Review message logs for delivery status, rejected requests and send failures.
03 / MESSAGE CREDIT
How much does a verification message cost?
WhatsApp verification uses the available application message balance. Takeed manages company wallet funding, and company administrators can allocate credit to their applications. An application with no remaining credit must be topped up before sending resumes.
The website calculator uses the current message rate set by the administration. Change the message quantity to estimate the cost. The estimate is not a payment or an automatic top-up. Application push notifications are separate and free.

Verification for development teams in Iraq
Takeed provides Arabic and English integration guides for developers, including Flutter and web setup. OTP requests run on your backend; notification SDK integrations use the public App ID and the relevant platform configuration.
05 / IRAQ TECHNO
Takeed by Iraq Techno
Takeed is Iraq Techno’s verification and notification platform. This is the official Takeed OTP website. This guide covers sending WhatsApp verification codes from your own application backend, not receiving codes for other people’s accounts.
06 / CHOOSING A PROVIDER
How to choose an OTP provider for your project in Iraq
The right provider depends on your delivery channel, user experience, actual cost and security requirements. Compare services with a practical test rather than relying on general claims about speed or delivery.
- Test your intended recipients
With recipient consent, test Iraqi phone numbers registered on WhatsApp and inspect each message status. API acceptance alone does not mean the recipient received it.
- Compare cost and available credit
Check the current unit rate and your expected volume. Takeed’s calculator estimates cost, while application wallets separate each project’s available message credit.
- Check integration security
Keep Authorization credentials on your backend and define code expiry and attempt limits for your verification flow. Never embed private credentials in a mobile app or browser.
- Understand statuses and support
Look for documented distinctions between sent, delivered and rejected requests, error guidance and a support channel. Review Takeed’s documentation and test your own error handling before launch.
Before you integrate
How do WhatsApp messages, OTP codes and app notifications differ?
This page covers WhatsApp messages carrying verification codes for your application. App notifications reach subscribed devices through push channels and do not consume OTP credit. A verification-code API should not be assumed to support marketing campaigns.
Do WhatsApp OTP messages require Firebase?
No. The WhatsApp verification API is separate from push notification setup. Firebase or Apple credentials may be needed for Android or iOS notifications, depending on your integration.
Is every send request accepted?
No. Requests are checked against authorization, available credit, protection limits and application settings. Check the API response and message log rather than assuming a rejected request was delivered.
Can I manage multiple applications?
Yes. Applications have their own identifiers, settings, credit and message history. Keep private keys separate and allocate credit to the intended application in the company dashboard.
