API Manager save_alt

API Manager for GSMA’s CAMARA project capabilities. This service acts as a gateway that receives
requests conforming to the CAMARA standard and routes them to the appropriate microservices.

The API Manager provides centralized handling of CAMARA-compliant requests, including validation,
authentication, and proper routing to backend services. It ensures all interactions follow the
standardized CAMARA specifications, enabling developers to access telco network capabilities
through consistent interfaces regardless of the underlying implementation.

Key features:

  • CAMARA standard compliance validation
  • Request routing to specialized microservices
  • API versioning support
  • Telco capability exposure management

Number Verification

Number Verification API performs real-time checks to verify the phone number of the mobile device being used to access a service provider (SP) service, where the mobile device is accessing the service provider over a mobile network (WiFi connections are out of this API scope) either by getting the comparison result or receiving the phone number of the device that it is used, so they can verify it themselves.
It uses direct mobile network connections to verify possession of a phone number in the background without requiring user interaction. There are neither OTPs (One-time passwords) received by SMS nor authenticator app downloads, so it is much simpler. It can be used at sign up, login, or transaction time to validate that a user’s SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) is both actively connected to the mobile network and not spoofed or cloned.

SIM SWAP

A SIM swap is a process in which a user’s mobile phone number (MSISDN) is associated with a new SIM card (IMSI). This is typically done by contacting the user’s mobile service provider and requesting a new SIM card for various reasons, such as a lost or damaged SIM card or upgrading to a new phone.
SIM swap also happens during other actions like changing user’s phone number, changing mobile service provider keeping user’s mobile phone number or when activating a new SIM associated to the same phone number, known as multisim service. New subscription is considered as a SIM swap as well, the MSISDN which can be used by another person earlier, is associated with a SIM card it was not associated before.

DEVICE SWAP

This API allows to check the last time that the phone (device) - phone number association has changed

KYC MATCH

This API provides the customer with the ability to compare the information it (Service Provider, SP) has for a particular mobile phone user with that on file (and verified) by the mobile phone user’s Operator in their own KYC records, in order for the SP to confirm the accuracy of the information and provide a specific service to the mobile phone user.
