Connectivity Management API

This section describes how the Connectivity Management API helps you to meet your business goals by using the features and functionality of the Connectivity Management platform within your own, bespoke applications.

The platform allows easy, secure, and cost-effective connection of IoT devices with a single global mobility contract, including:

  • Flexibility of device types, network providers, and connectivity standards
  • Simplicity of device auto-deployment, unified operations, and billing
  • Aggregated pricing, operational flexibility, and insights

What is the API?

The API enables software developers to integrate functionality from the Connectivity Management platform into their own applications.

For example, your company can build an application for your customer support team that displays detailed subscriber information. The API enables you to "Get" that data from the Connectivity Management platform.

How does the API work?

The API includes a number of endpoints — essentially, a set of URLs — that give your application access to your company's subscriber network. When you develop an application, you simply include the endpoints and relevant parameters in your software source code.

The API documentation includes all the information developers need to authenticate and use the API. This includes descriptions of what each endpoint does, the data it returns and the parameters you can include in your calls.

What does the API do?

The API gives you access to a subset of the Connectivity Management platform's functionality, including:

  • Retrieve company and subscriber data usage, session logs, and billing information
  • Manage users of the Connectivity Management platform
  • Perform individual and bulk actions on subscribers, such as adding monitoring alerts
  • Activate or terminate a subscriber, order subscribers, assign a subscriber rate plan,

Examples of API integrations

Clients typically use the API to integrate frequently-accessed functionality from the Connectivity Management platform into their own systems and services. The API provides a way for clients to:

  • Automate their regular workflow
  • Embed information and key actions into their own software to allow users to access functionality without having to log in to the Connectivity Management platform

Some clients adopt the API more broadly. For example, clients can build an integration that uses the API to manage the entire subscriber lifecycle.
