Welcome to the Orange Network APIs Hackathon: empowering developers to innovate!
Join us for an exciting event tailored for developers eager to push the boundaries of innovation and creativity. Whether you're a seasoned coder or just starting out, this Hackathon offers the perfect opportunity to elevate your skills and reshape the future of tech.
Participants will be challenged to create cutting-edge solutions by leveraging Network APIs.
Integrate advanced network functionalities into your applications with standardized interfaces that offer agility, flexibility, and innovation. These APIs enable you to leverage real-time network data without needing deep telecommunications expertise. As part of the GSMA Open Gateway Initiative and CAMARA open-source project, Orange provides secure and compliant Network APIs across various geographies.
Use cases
Fraud prevention
Utilize APIs like Device Reachability Status, Device Roaming Status, SIM Swap, Number Verification or KYC match to enhance security and protect against fraudulent activities.
Location services
Implement Geofencing, Device Location Verification, and Device Location Retrieval to provide precise location information for logistics, transportation, and retail applications.
Enhanced Network Quality
Use the Quality on Demand to optimize network performance, catering to the growing demand for high-quality, low-latency connections, especially in gaming and virtual reality sectors.

What are Network APIs?
The Network APIs developed under CAMARA open-source project facilitate the interoperability and integration of telecommunications services. Thanks to Network APIs the consumption and management of networks are simplified.
Network APIs offer :
Interoperability
Allowing developers to easily deploy their solution between different operators and different geographies.
Network resources access
Allowing developers to access network functionalities, such as quality of service management, resource configuration and performance monitoring.
Modularity
Offering modular components that can be easily integrated into existing systems, promoting rapid innovation.
Digital services support
Facilitating the development of new digital services, by integrating advanced capabilities such as AI and data analysis.
Profiles
Startups and entrepreneurs with a keen interest in mobile network connectivity
Developers passionate about creating scalable solutions using network APIs
Innovators eager to transform industries through telecommunications
