CAMARA
CAMARA is an open-source Linux Foundation project developing standardized, open, and globally-available telecom APIs as part of the Telco Global API Alliance. Founded and supported by AT&T, Deutsche Telekom, Ericsson, Google Cloud, Microsoft, Nokia, Telefonica, Vodafone, GSMA, and many others, CAMARA defines consistent, operator-agnostic network capability APIs so developers can access programmable network services such as quality-on-demand, device location, SIM swap, number verification, and edge cloud across multiple carriers through a single, unified, standard API surface.
APIs
CAMARA Quality On Demand API
The Quality On Demand (QoD) API allows applications to request on-demand, bounded-duration, guaranteed-quality network sessions for specific device flows (latency, throughput, p...
CAMARA Device Location API
Provides location-verification, location-retrieval, and geofencing subscription endpoints allowing applications to confirm whether a mobile device is in a specified area, to ret...
CAMARA Number Verification API
Silent, cryptographically strong verification that the mobile number a user claims to own is actually the number of the SIM attached to the device making the request. Replaces S...
CAMARA SIM Swap API
Detects whether the SIM attached to a given mobile number has recently been changed. Used by banks, crypto platforms, and other high-assurance services to mitigate SIM-swap acco...
CAMARA Device Status API
Provides queries and event subscriptions about a mobile device's connectivity status (reachable, connected, roaming) so applications can adapt behaviour, trigger retries, or swi...
CAMARA Simple Edge Discovery API
Returns the closest Mobile Edge Cloud (MEC) endpoint for a given device based on operator network topology, allowing edge-native applications to connect to the lowest-latency ed...
CAMARA Edge Application Management API
Lifecycle APIs for deploying, managing, and terminating edge-native application instances across operator Mobile Edge Cloud infrastructure, enabling developers to place workload...
CAMARA Device Identifier API
Returns a privacy-preserving identifier for a device associated with a network-attached session, enabling correlation and authentication flows while minimising exposure of raw M...
CAMARA Home Devices Quality On Demand API
Extends Quality On Demand semantics to fixed-line / home broadband devices, allowing applications to request guaranteed bandwidth or low-latency sessions for devices attached to...
CAMARA Connectivity Insights API
Exposes network insight data such as historical and real-time network quality, congestion, and throughput characteristics for a subscriber context, letting applications tune str...
CAMARA Identity and Consent Management API
Shared authorization and consent model across CAMARA APIs, built on OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect Client-Initiated Backchannel Authentication (CIBA) so subscribers explicitly conse...
