OTP Generator API

A simple Serverless Python API that generates a random 6-digit One-Time Password (OTP) and returns it in JSON format. It is designed to be lightweight and easily deployable using Vercel.

Features

• Generates a random 6-digit OTP (e.g., 123456).
• Returns the OTP in a JSON response.
• Configured with CORS (Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *) to be accessible from any frontend application.
• Ready for Serverless deployment on Vercel.

API Endpoint / Usage

When you make a GET request to the endpoint, it will return a JSON response containing the generated OTP.

Response format:

{
  "otp": 583921
}
