# Request OTP Code

> Generate and send an OTP code from Laravel using Hypersender.

Generate a one-time password and deliver it to a WhatsApp user using the Laravel SDK. The response includes the OTP `uuid`, generated `code`, status, and expiry time so you can track validation.

## Parameters

| Field      | Type   | Required | Description                                                   |
| ---------- | ------ | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| chatId     | string | yes      | WhatsApp chat ID of the recipient (e.g., `20123456789@c.us`). |
| length     | int    | no       | Code length (default `6`).                                    |
| useLetter  | bool   | no       | Include letters (default `false`).                            |
| useNumber  | bool   | no       | Include numbers (default `true`).                             |
| allCapital | bool   | no       | Uppercase letters when `useLetter` is true (default `false`). |
| name       | string | no       | Display name inside the message (e.g., your app name).        |
| expires    | int    | no       | TTL in seconds (default `1800`).                              |

## Send the request

```php theme={null}
use Hypersender\Hypersender;

$otp = Hypersender::otp()->requestCode([
  'chatId' => '20123456789@c.us',
  'length' => 6,
  'useLetter' => false,
  'useNumber' => true,
  'allCapital' => false,
  'name' => 'YourApp',
  'expires' => 900,
]);
```

* Store `uuid` if you plan to track or audit the request.
* Use `status` to monitor the send/validation lifecycle (`pending`, `sent`, `validated`, `expired`).

Validate the code the user enters with [Validate OTP Code](/v2/packages-and-sdks/laravel/otp/validate-code).

<Warning>
  OTP codes are short-lived and single-use. Prompt users to request a new code after expiry or repeated failures.
