  summary: >-
    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
    run Tawked Verify for their merchants.
  description: >-
    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.

      Tawked Chat: the conversation menus a connected app adds beside the
      conversations of its connection's application, and reads, changes and
      removes, with `chat:menus`; and the application's auto-attendant, which a
      connected app sets up, publishes and switches on or off, with
      `chat:attendant`. A connected app's key only; a business adds its own
      menus and builds its auto-attendant in the console.

      keys (tk_partner_) only; every Verify operation then takes `application`

      retried the same way.

        scopes `verify:check`, `verify:send` (includes `verify:check`),
        `notifications:read`, `notifications:send` (includes
        `notifications:read`), `email:read`, `email:send` (includes

        `webhooks:manage`, `email:inbound`, `notifications:templates` (includes
        `notifications:read`), `chat:menus`, `chat:attendant`. No key made on
        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. `email:manage` and `webhooks:manage` are held
        only by a key someone chose them for: a full-access key, old or new,
        never holds them. `email:inbound`, which reads, deletes and forwards
        received e-mail, is opt-in on every key, full access included: a key
        holds it only when it was turned on when the key was created. 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.
