Management API

Solution

Use the Create an email verification ticket endpoint to generate a verification link without triggering an email.

Refer to the steps below for how to implement this.

Retrieve a management API token with the create:user_tickets scope. See Get Management API Access Tokens for Production for details on how to do this.
Call the API using the token. Here's an example using cURL:

$ curl --request POST \
--url 'https://<domain>/api/v2/tickets/email-verification' \
--header 'content-type: application/json' \
--header 'authorization: Bearer <token>' \
--data '{
"user_id": "<user ID>",
"result_url": "<result URL>"
}'

The API will return a JSON object containing the verification URL:

{
"ticket": "https://<domain>/verify_email?ticket=<ticket id>"
}
