### API Integration Example (Python)

Complete workflow: check price → purchase number → poll for SMS → get OTP code.

```python
import requests
import time

TOKEN = "your_api_token"
BASE = "https://api.bee-sms.com/v1"

# 1. Check price and availability for Telegram numbers in the US
prices = requests.get(f"{BASE}/otp/prices", params={"token": TOKEN, "area": "us", "service": "tg"}).json()
print(f"Price: ${prices['data'][0]['amount'] / 100:.2f}, Available: {prices['data'][0]['qty']}")

# 2. Purchase a number
order = requests.get(f"{BASE}/otp/purchase", params={"token": TOKEN, "area": "us", "service": "tg"}).json()
order_id = order["data"]["order_id"]
phone = order["data"]["dialing_code"] + order["data"]["mobile_number"]
print(f"Number: +{phone}")

# 3. Use the phone number for verification on the target platform, then poll for SMS
for _ in range(30):
    sms = requests.get(f"{BASE}/otp/sms", params={"token": TOKEN, "order": order_id}).json()
    if sms["code"] == 200:
        print(f"OTP: {sms['data']}")
        break
    time.sleep(3)  # Poll every 3 seconds
else:
    # No SMS received, cancel and get refund

## FAQ

**What is a virtual number?**
A temporary phone number used without a SIM card to receive SMS for online verification. Not bound to any physical device.

**How long are numbers valid?**
BEE-SMS temporary numbers are valid for 5 minutes and can receive SMS from a single service. If no SMS is received, the payment is automatically refunded.

**Do I need a SIM card?**
No. Numbers are fully online — displayed in your account dashboard along with received SMS codes.

**What if I don't receive an SMS?**
Try resending the verification code (wait 10+ seconds), switch proxy if using one, or cancel and purchase a new number (funds are refunded automatically).

**Can someone else access my number later?**
Numbers are disposable and issued to one person for one service at a time. However, telecom operators may reissue the underlying SIM 2–3 months later. Do not link critical personal information to temporary numbers.
