Submit a business verification
https://api.norreach.app/v1/number-verificationsSends the workspace's business details and documents for a country and number type for review, exactly as the Phone numbers page does: the requirements are read again on the server, every field is checked, one submission per country and type runs at a time (409 while one is running or approved), the documents go straight to review and only their names are kept. Answer each field by its id from GET /number-verifications/requirements: values for text, addresses for addresses, documents (base64, PDF / JPG / PNG — all together at most about 3 MB through the API; larger scans go through the app). dry_run=true checks everything and sends nothing. Owners, admins and managers.
