`curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/v1/register/<number>'`

e.g:

`curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/v1/register/+431212131491291'`

- Register a number (with captcha)

  When you try to register a number, if you receive a response like `{"error":"Captcha required for verification (null)\n"}` then Signal is requiring a captcha. To register the number you must do the following:
  1. Go to  [https://signalcaptchas.org/registration/generate.html](https://signalcaptchas.org/registration/generate.html)
  2. Open the developer console
  3. Find the line that looks like this: `Prevented navigation to “signalcaptcha://{captcha value}” due to an unknown protocol.` Copy the captcha value
  4. Use it to make the registration call like this:

  `curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"captcha":"{captcha value}"}' 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/v1/register/<number>`

- Verify the number using the code received via SMS/voice

  `curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/v1/register/<number>/verify/<verification code>'`

  e.g:

  `curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/v1/register/+431212131491291/verify/123-456'`
