How to verify phone number validity via Whatsapp for Business?
The flow should be like this:
User input their phone number into mobile apps.
System sends 4 digits of code from Whatsapp for Business.
User input the digits into mobile apps.
Done.

Whatsapp has only announced the business version of their platform.
WhatsApp Business is not yet available for iOS and there is no API to integrate WhatsApp in your own systems.
BookMyShow, an indian company was a member of whatsapp api tester project and said it would make WhatsApp a default ticket confirmation channel for all its users in the near future. Source
So, there is no way to use whatsapp api and whatsapp team official did not announced anything about api.

WhatsApp is now limited to providing APIs to the public. If you want to know how Whastaspp is working you can just go through any of the Solution Providers. Because they proving sandbox for testing interfaces. In my knowledge, Whatsapp is not proving any sandbox or testing interface for the public. They are a global community of third-party solution providers with expertise on the WhatsApp Business API.

Sonos API - Is it possible to play specific song via API

I'm currently integrating the Sonos Control API into our platform.
I successfully integrated "simple" commands related to play/pause, skipToNextTrack, skipToPreviousTrack but is it possible to access associated music provider to the sonos account through the Control API ?
I don't want to integrate a "simple" remote control for Sonos speakers. I would like to use the Spotify, Deezer or whatever associated provider account to search and play a song. Is there a way to do that?
Thanks for any reply :-)
This is not currently a possibility with the Control API. We'll bring your request back to the dev team.

Have you seen Twilio's REST API for SMS already? https://www.twilio.com/sms/api. That will save you lots of time configuring own GSM modem firmware and maintaining own SMS transactions. With 3rd party SMS service provider you can just focus on your client app such as sending back tutor's profile to the provider and the provider will carry your message push it back to the student's mobile number.
Of course the old way is that everything (data and GSM software) sits within our own network. I used to have HTC's GSM model like 7 years ago) with my J2ME apps for Nokia, HTC and Motorola smartphones. But nowadays, you have lots or cheaper and better options. Even Android phones can be used as bare bones GSM modem already :D
Enjoy!
Before you go on implementing something by yourself, I suggest that you check services that already do it well. Maybe you can just use them? One such easy-to-use service is Twilio.
