To use this API, subscribe to Network APIs Playground
Network APIs Playground - Device Location - Retrieval API is part of the set of Network APIs under CAMARA open-source project by Orange.
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.
Following figure provides a high-level view of the API architecture:
