GSMA Open Gateway Call Forwarding Signal API

CAMARA Call Forwarding Signal API as published on the GSMA Open Gateway developer portal. Lets an application check whether unconditional or conditional call forwarding is active on a subscriber's line, a common indicator of an in-progress scam. Operators expose the endpoints; GSMA publishes the specification and documentation. OpenAPI 3.0.3, version 0.2.0, 2 path(s) and 2 operation(s); authorization is OpenID Connect (openIdConnect security scheme) with per-operation CAMARA scopes.

    # Overview
    The Call Forwarding Signal (CFS) API provides the API Consumer with
    information about the status of the Call Forwading Service on a specific
    phone number. The main scope of the CFS 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 CFS 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 CFS API can be invoked to detect if the unconditional
    call forwarding service is active. The CSF 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 differente type of settings are returned ('conditional_busy',
    'conditional_unavailable', 'conditional_no_reply').\

    # Quick Start
    The CFS API is a REST API based on the CreateCallForwardingSignal resource.
    This resource can be filled during the API invokation, by the API Consumer,
    with the phone number on which the Call Forwarding Service status must be
    verified. Anyway the phone number is also 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 CFS API verifies if a call forwarding
    service is active on this phone number. Note: the value of this optional
    parameter must match the value of the phone number retrieved from 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 CFS 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?
    # Authorization and authentication
    The "Camara Security and Interoperability Profile" provides details on how
    a client requests an access token. Please refer to Identify and Consent
    Management (https://github.com/camaraproject/IdentityAndConsentManagement/)
    for the released version of the Profile.\
    \
    Which specific authorization flows are to be used will be determined during
    onboarding process, happening between the API Client and the Telco Operator
    exposing the API, taking into account the declared purpose for accessing the
    API, while also being subject to the prevailing legal framework dictated by
    local legislation.\
    \
    It is important to remark that in cases where personal user 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 3-legged access tokens becomes
    mandatory. This measure ensures that the API remains in strict compliance
    with user privacy preferences and regulatory obligations, upholding the
    principles of transparency and user-centric data control.
    # Identifying the phone number from the access token
    This specification defines the "phoneNumber" field as optional in API
    requests because using a 3-legged access token the phone number can be
    uniquely identified by the token.
    ## Handling of phone number information:
    ### Optional phone number object for 3-legged tokens:
    When using a 3-legged access token, the phone number associated with the
    access token must be considered as the phone number for the API request.
    This means that the "phoneNumber" paramenter is not required in the request,
    and if it is included it must identify the same phone number.
    ### Validation mechanism:
    - The server will extract the phone number identification from the access
    token, if available.
    - If the API request additionally includes a "phoneNumber" parameter when
    using a 3-legged access token, the API will validate that the phone number
    identifier provided matches the one associated with the access token.
    - If there is a mismatch, the API will respond with a
    403 `INVALID_TOKEN_CONTEXT` error, indicating that the device information
    in the request does not match the token.
    ### Error handling for unidentifiable devices:
    - If the "phoneNumber" parameter is not included in the request and the
    phone number information cannot be derived from the 3-legged access token,
    the server will return a 422 `UNIDENTIFIABLE_DEVICE` error.
    # API Documentation
    ## Details
    The CFS 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.\
    CFS API have to check the Call Forwarding
    Service status can be optionally defined with resource
    (CreateCallForwardingSignal) containing the phone number (PhoneNumber)
    to be checked.
