What are Network APIs?

Network APIs enable developers to build solutions that integrate mobile operator network capabilities. They are built according to CAMARA standards and simplify access to multiple mobile networks, including 5G, ensuring a seamless customer experience with optimal application portability.

What are AT&T Network APIs?

AT&T Network APIs enable developers to harness the power of the AT&T network's capabilities across its mobile networks. Part of the AT&T Network APIs are built according to CAMARA standards that aim to simplify access to multiple mobile network operators, while other APIs are currently AT&T-specific and have not yet been standardized.

What are the CAMARA standards?

Working in close collaboration with the GSM Association (GSMA), a worldwide consortium of mobile operators, CAMARA is an open source project within the Linux Foundation to define, develop, test, and standardize Network APIs. CAMARA aligns API requirements and publishes API definitions to develop an open, global, and accessible API solution with access to operator capabilities, in whatever networks customers are in, allowing applications to run consistently between mobile networks and different countries.

What Network APIs are available?

Device Status

The Device Status API enables you to query a device's:

Connectivity status - is this device currently connected to a mobile network?
Roaming status - is this device roaming, and if so what country is it roaming in?

As well as the ability to subscribe to events to give you updates on when either of those statuses change.

For more information, see the Device Status API documentation and API reference.

SIM Swap

The SIM Swap API is a standalone product to determine whether and when a SIM swap was last performed on an individual mobile phone number. The API works by checking, in real-time, the activation date of a SIM card on the mobile network. It can be easily integrated into your application and used to answer two distinct questions:

Has a SIM swap occurred during the last n hours?
When did the last SIM swap occur?

For more information, see the SIM Swap documentation and API reference.

Next Steps

To start using the Network APIs, you must first register with AT&T. See our guide on the registration process for more information.
