How to automate account creation

Phone verification is the bottleneck in automated signups. Here is the architecture — numbers, OTP, idempotency, and staying within terms.

Automating signups — for QA, load testing, or multi-account operations — comes down to clearing the phone-verification step reliably. Here's a robust shape.

Architecture

  1. Provision a number per account from the API.
  2. Drive the signup (HTTP client or a browser via Playwright/Puppeteer).
  3. Read the OTP via webhook (or poll).
  4. Finish the order so you only pay for delivered codes.
  5. Idempotency: pass an Idempotency-Key so a retry never double-buys.
const order = await eveses.orders.create(
  { country: 'ua', mode: 'activation', service: 'yourapp' },
  { idempotencyKey: `signup-${runId}` },
);
// …submit phone, receive code via webhook…
await eveses.orders.finish(order.order_id);

Do it responsibly

Automating account creation can violate a target service's terms. Use it for your own systems — QA, staging, load tests — or where you have permission. For scale, rotate countries/services based on the live availability the API reports, and back off on failures.

The economics work because numbers are cheap (from $0.05) and missed codes are refunded, so a flaky target doesn't burn budget.
