title: Call Forwarding Signal Age Verification Location verification API
description: '# Overview
The Call Forwarding Signal API provides the API Consumer with
information about the status of the Call Forwarding Service on a specific
phone number. The main scope of the Call Forwarding Signal API is "anti
Fraud" to avoid fraudsters to use the Call Forwarding Service to carry
on a scam. Other use cases are anyway supported by the Call Forwarding
Signal API that also
provides additional endpoints to detect the general Call Forwarding
Service settings.
# Introduction
The Call Forwarding Service is provided by the Network to a phone
number. This service redirects the incoming call to that phone number
to an alternative destination such as another phone number or a voice mail
system. There are two main types of call forwarding settings:
unconditional and conditional.
The Call Forwarding Signal API can be invoked to detect if the unconditional
call forwarding service is active. The Call Forwarding Signal API can also
be invoked to
get the general status of the Call Forwarding Service (inactive,
conditional, unconditional). If conditional call forwarding is active,
the different type of settings are returned (''conditional_busy'',
''conditional_not_reachable'', ''conditional_no_answer'').
**Example use cases:**
[**Bank Frauds**](https://github.com/camaraproject/CallForwardingSignal/discussions/3#discussioncomment-8694420)
[**Alert Interception**](https://github.com/camaraproject/CallForwardingSignal/discussions/3#discussioncomment-8701847)
[**Call Forwarding Verification**](https://github.com/camaraproject/CallForwarding\Signal/discussions/3#discussioncomment-8915595)
# Quick Start
The Call Forwarding Signal API is a REST API based on the
CreateCallForwardingSignal resource.
This resource can be used, by the API Consumer, to specify the phone number
on which the Call Forwarding Service status must be verified, in case of
two-legged authentication. If three-legged authentication is used the phone
number is instead detected, by the API Producer, from the access token.
Before starting to use the Call Forwarding API, the developer needs to know
about the below specified details:
**phoneNumber**
This is the end user phone number. The Call Forwarding Signal API verifies
if a call forwarding
service is active on this phone number. Note: this parameter must be
must be provided/valued only in case of two-legged authentication.
In case of three-legged authentication the phone number is retrieved by
the access token.
**CreateCallForwardingSignal**
This is the resource the API Consumer uses to define the phone number to
be verified about the status of the Network Call Forwarding service.
**UnconditionalCallForwardingSignal**
This is the resource the API Consumer gets back, containing the information
about the Unconditional Call Forwarding Service status for the given phone
number (PhoneNumber).
**CallForwardingSignal**
This is the resource the API Consumer gets back, containing the information
about the general status of the Network Call Forwarding service for the
specified phone number.
The Call Forwarding Signal API provides two endpoints fulfilling the
following intents:
- **unconditional-call-forwardings**: Is the unconditional call fwd service
active on a specific phone number?
- **call-forwardings**: Which is the status of the call forwarding for a
specific phone number?
# API Documentation
## Details
The Call Forwarding Signal API is invoked by an API Consumer after the
Consent Management flow.
The API Consumer can request the API Producer for the status of the
Unconditional Call Forwarding service using the
unconditional-call-forwardings POST method. A boolean, with the information
about the activation status of the call forwarding service, will be
provided back via the UnconditionalCallForwardingSignal resource.
The API Consumer can also request the API Producer for the generic status of
the Call Forwarding service using the call-forwardings POST method. An array
of strings with the information of the type of active call forwarding
services will be provided back via the CallForwardingSignal resource.
# Authorization and authentication
The "Camara Security and Interoperability Profile" provides details of how
an API consumer requests an access token. Please refer to Identity and
Consent Management
(https://github.com/camaraproject/IdentityAndConsentManagement/)
for the released version of the profile.
The specific authorization flows to be used will be agreed upon during the
onboarding process, happening between the API consumer and the API
provider, taking into account the declared purpose for accessing the API,
whilst also being subject to the prevailing legal framework dictated by
local legislation.
In cases where personal data is processed by the API and users can
exercise their rights through mechanisms such as opt-in and/or opt-out,
the use of three-legged access tokens is mandatory. This ensures that
the API remains in compliance with privacy regulations, upholding the
principles of transparency and user-centric privacy-by-design.
# Identifying the phone number from the access token
This API requires the API consumer to identify a phone number as the
subject of the API as follows:
- When the API is invoked using a two-legged access token, the subject
will be identified from the optional `phoneNumber` object field, which
therefore MUST be provided.
- When a three-legged access token is used however, this optional
identifier MUST NOT be provided, as the subject will be uniquely
identified from the access token.
This approach simplifies API usage for API consumers using a
three-legged access token to invoke the API by relying on the
information that is associated with the access token and was
identified during the authentication process.
## Error handling:
- If the subject cannot be identified from the access token and the
optional `phoneNumber` object field is not included in the request, then
the server will return an error with the
`422 MISSING_IDENTIFIER` error code.
- If the subject can be identified from the access token and the
optional `phoneNumber` object field is also included in the request, then
the server will return an error with the `422 UNNECESSARY_IDENTIFIER`
error code. This will be the case even if the same device is
identified by these two methods, as the server is unable to make
this comparison.
# Additional CAMARA error responses
The list of error codes in this API specification is not exhaustive.
Therefore the API specification may not document some non-mandatory error
statuses as indicated in `CAMARA API Design Guide`.
Please refer to the `CAMARA_common.yaml` of the Commonalities Release
associated to this API version for a complete list of error responses.
The applicable Commonalities Release can be identified in the
`API Readiness Checklist` document associated to this API version.
As a specific rule, error `501 - NOT_IMPLEMENTED` can be only a possible
error response if it is explicitly documented in the API.

If the API consumer provides more than one device identifier in their request, the API provider must return a single identifier which is the one they are using to fulfil the request, even if the identifiers do not match the same device. API provider does not perform any logic to validate/correlate that the indicated device identifiers match the same device. No error should be returned if the identifiers are otherwise valid to prevent API consumers correlating different identifiers with a given end user.

The developer can choose to provide the below specified device identifiers:

* `ipv6Address`
* `phoneNumber`
* `networkAccessIdentifier`
NOTE1: the API provider might support only a subset of these options. The API consumer can provide multiple identifiers to be compatible across different API providers. In this case the identifiers MUST belong to the same device. Where more than one device identifier is provided, only one identifier will be selected by the implementation and this choice indicated to the API consumer in the response.
NOTE2: as for this Commonalities release, we are enforcing that the networkAccessIdentifier is only part of the schema for future-proofing, and CAMARA does not currently allow its use. After the CAMARA meta-release work is concluded and the relevant issues are resolved, its use will need to be explicitly documented in the guidelines.
