TUTORIALS
Build a Real-Time Interactive RCS Experience With Node.js and Vonage

Prevent SIM Swap Fraud in Python With Identity Insights API
SIM swap fraud is a growing mobile security threat, with attackers hijacking phone numbers and intercepting calls, texts, and 2FA codes. Benjamin Aronov uses Vonage Identity Insights API in Python to detect potential SIM swaps and keep your users safe.
How Vonage Uses CAMARA APIs to Improve Developer Experience
Vonage fully supports open standards like CAMARA to simplify access to network capabilities. Rather than standalone endpoints, we’ve embedded CAMARA APIs directly into our products to give developers more flexibility and a smoother experience. Alvaro Navarro offers real examples of how this approach enhances Vonage APIs.
Man in the Loop vs. LLM in the Loop
Vonage AI is rethinking speech-to-text benchmarking by combining human oversight with automation. The teams use large language models (LLMs) to generate consensus transcriptions from multiple STT outputs — which then enable scalable, unbiased, and context-aware evaluation.Yotam Luz compares this approach with traditional methods and the key insights from our experiments.
Alexandra Williams offers a step-by-step tutorial using the Vonage PHP SDK. This includes everything you need to quickly begin … such as setting up, writing your script, and creating a POST route.
