Cradlepoint

name: Cradlepoint
description: >-
  Cradlepoint is a Boise, Idaho-based provider of cloud-managed wireless edge
  routers, 5G adapters, branch-in-a-box appliances, and the NetCloud platform
  for enterprise wireless WAN (LTE/5G), in-vehicle networks, branch
  connectivity, and IoT. Ericsson acquired Cradlepoint in 2020 (closed November
  2020 for approximately US$1.1B) and Cradlepoint now operates as the core of
  Ericsson Enterprise Wireless Solutions, working alongside Ericsson Private 5G
  and the Ericsson NetCloud SASE offering. Cradlepoint exposes its NetCloud
  Manager (NCM) platform through a documented RESTful API — NCM API v2 (Swagger
  1.2, paired X-CP-API-ID/X-CP-API-KEY + X-ECM-API-ID/X-ECM-API-KEY headers,
  base https://www.cradlepointecm.com/api/v2/) and a newer NCM API v3
  (OpenAPI 3.0, bearer-token authentication) — plus a NetCloud Router SDK for
  on-router Python applications and webhook destinations for alert delivery.
  The developer area (developer.cradlepoint.com), customer support article
  base (customer.cradlepoint.com), and Ericsson Enterprise Wireless docs
  portal (docs.cradlepoint.com) host the Getting Started guides, API
  reference, sample collections, and Postman bundles.

    name: Cradlepoint NetCloud Manager API v2
    description: >-
      RESTful API for the NetCloud Manager (NCM) platform. Programmatic access
      to accounts, routers, groups, configuration_managers, alerts and
      alert_rules, alert_push_destinations, activity_logs, locations and
      historical_locations, net_devices, net_device_signal_samples,
      net_device_usage_samples, net_device_health, net_device_metrics,
      router_alerts, router_lans, router_state_samples, users, subscriptions,
      and firmware. Base URL https://www.cradlepointecm.com/api/v2/.
      Authentication uses two paired key sets sent as headers on every
      request — X-CP-API-ID / X-CP-API-KEY (account-level Cradlepoint API
      keys, for usage tracking) and X-ECM-API-ID / X-ECM-API-KEY (NCM-tenant
      API keys generated from the NCM Tools tab; carry the
      Administrator / Full Access / Read-Only / Diagnostic role grants).
      Supports GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE; not every method is supported on
      every resource. Documented with Swagger 1.2.

    description: >-
      The next-generation NetCloud Manager API. Documented with OpenAPI 3.0,
      authenticated with bearer tokens, designed for improved performance,
      stability, and usability over API v2. Coexists with v2 during a
      multi-year transition window; v3 covers core router, device, alert,
      group, and account operations.

      Outbound HTTP destinations (alert_push_destinations) configured via the

      rules fire (router offline, signal degradation, configuration change,
      subscription expiration, threshold breach). Each destination is a URL +
      optional auth headers; payload includes account, router, alert type,
      timestamp, and contextual metadata.

    description: >-
      On-router Python SDK and toolchain (the "SDK" / "Router SDK") for
      building and deploying custom applications onto Cradlepoint routers
      running NetCloud OS. Lets developers write Python apps that read router
      configuration, GPIO, GPS, modem signal, and connection state, and that
      can be packaged and deployed across a fleet via NCM. Sample apps in
      cradlepoint/sdk-samples cover GPS forwarding, modem diagnostics,
      serial passthrough, MQTT publishing, and more.
