Enhance location-based features in applications

Network APIs Playground - Device Location - Retrieval API is part of the set of Network APIs under CAMARA open-source project by Orange.

To use this API, subscribe to Network APIs Playground

This playground version provides responses for:

  • predefined phone numbers associated with the unassigned country code +990 (e.g +99012345678)
  • user-defined phone numbers added using the Network APIs Playground - Admin API

What it does?

The CAMARA Device Location Retrieval API allows to retrieve the mobile device's geographical area position (via a circle in Orange implementation). The retrieved area depends on the network conditions at the subscriber's location.

How it works?

The requester provides the mobile ID. The response provides a geographical area defined with longitude /
latitude number and an accuracy radius
.
