Aeris

Aeris is a cellular IoT connectivity company, founded in 1992 and headquartered in San Jose, California, that operates a global network and connectivity management platform purpose-built for machines rather than phones. Aeris provides SIM and eSIM/eUICC lifecycle management, device provisioning and activation, rate-plan and bundle management, usage and signalling analytics, SMS messaging, and IoT security monitoring to automotive, utilities, logistics, medical-device and industrial customers. In February 2023 Aeris acquired Ericsson's IoT Accelerator and Connected Vehicle Cloud businesses, and the IoT Accelerator platform now runs under the Aeris name and serves the bulk of its published API surface alongside the older Aeris-native AerAdmin, AerFrame and AerTraffic connectivity APIs and the Aeris IoT Watchtower security API.

Aeris publishes 3 APIs on the APIs.io network: IoT Accelerator REST API, IoT Accelerator SMS Messaging API, and IoT Watchtower API. Tagged areas include IoT, Cellular Connectivity, M2M, eSIM, and SIM Management.

The Aeris catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Aeris’ developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, signup flow, and 19 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Telecommunications regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/aeris: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
