FAQs

Verizon Network APIs allow developers to  utilize Verizon's network capabilities. These APIs enable the creation of new applications and the enhancement of existing ones to drive and elevate the security, performance and experience of your business solutions.

These APIs are designed for developers, businesses and enterprises who want to build and improve applications and services with network-aware features, regardless of industry.

Verizon offers a variety of APIs that cover broad range of functions, including Network, Contact Center and IoT/Thingspace APIs. Network APIs support in authentication and fraud prevention, device information and network insights.

These APIs provide powerful fraud detection signals directly from the network that developers can incorporate into their security logic. Based on this signal, an application can then decide to take additional security measures, such as requesting further user verification before completing a high-risk transaction.

Silent authentication is a method of verifying a user's identity without requiring them to actively enter a password or other credentials. It leverages the inherent security of the mobile network to confirm that the request is coming from the legitimate device and phone number.

Verizon actively collaborates with global bodies such as CAMARA (Linux Foundation) and GSMA OpenGateway. While we champion and contribute to these industry groups, we also offer some proprietary APIs that expose unique capabilities of the Verizon network.
