Who it is forAn operator who wants to confirm the catalogue covers a target country before committing an agent to a signup flow.
The problemChoosing a country with no working pool wastes time and money, and the README's coverage claim is one the user should be able to check.
The outcomeThe user gets a country count from the live catalogue and can see per-service and per-country pool data before ordering.
What you need first
- An SV Number account with a funded balance, since the README says there is no free tier
- An API key from your SV Number profile, exported as SVN_API_KEY
- curl and jq, plus Python or Node.js if you run the bundled scripts
- An agent runner that reads Agent Skills, such as Claude Code or Codex
Steps
- Run
export SVN_API_KEY=your_key_hereif the key is not already set. - Run
curl -s "https://sms-verification-number.com/stubs/handler_api?api_key=$SVN_API_KEY&action=getCountryAndOperators&lang=en" | jq lengthto count the countries returned. (inferred, check the README) - Read the catalogue response for the share of codes delivered to other users and the count of live numbers per service and country, where the README says these are measured.
- Pick the country where the pool data shows live numbers and a delivery share that fits the service you need.
Prompt for your agent
Using the sv-number skill from the sv-number-skills repo, fetch the country catalogue and tell me how many countries it lists and which ones have live numbers for <service name>. Expected output: a country count and a short list. Verify that the count matches the jq length output before you recommend a country.
Caveat. The README says the delivery share is shown only where it is measured, so for other pairs you have only the size of the live pool to judge by.
