    Tawked Verify: OTP verification for Saudi mobile numbers over SMS, in two
    calls. Tawked Notifications: WhatsApp template messages from the
    application's own number. Tawked Email: transactional e-mail from the
    application's own verified domain. Tawked Chat: the conversation menus a
    connected app adds beside the conversations of its connection's application,
    and the auto-attendant it sets up there. The Partner API for platforms that

    The public API of Tawked, a Saudi messaging platform: Tawked Verify
    (one-time codes), Tawked Notifications (WhatsApp templates from the
    application's own number), Tawked Email (transactional e-mail from the
    application's own domain) and the Partner API. Tawked Verify is an OTP
    verification API for Saudi numbers. One call sends a one-time code by SMS to
    a Saudi mobile number, and a second call checks it. SAR 0.09 per SMS code
    sent, prepaid; a send the network refuses is refunded. Authenticate with a
    Bearer API key from the dashboard (tk_live_ for production, tk_test_ for the
    sandbox, tk_partner_ for partners, tk_partner_test_ for the partner
    sandbox). Partners (tk_partner_) provision a Verify application per merchant
    under /v1/partner/applications and name it as application on every Verify
    call. Both /v1/... and /api/v1/... answer identically. Rate limit: 120
    requests per minute per key.

        the API keys page holds `notifications:templates`, full access included:
        the three template writes answer such a key 403 `insufficient_scope`. A
        connected app's key holds it. Nor `chat:menus`: the five conversation
        menu operations answer such a key 403 `insufficient_scope`, and a
        connected app's key holds it once the client approved it. Nor
        `chat:attendant`: the five auto-attendant operations answer such a key
        403 `insufficient_scope` too, and a connected app's key holds it once
        the client approved it. A call outside the key's access answers 403
        `insufficient_scope` and names the scope it needs in the
        `WWW-Authenticate` response header. A partner key (tk_partner_) always
        has full access. Whatever its access, a key is a server-side secret.
