América Móvil, S.A.B. de C.V. is the largest telecommunications group in Latin America, headquartered in Mexico City and controlled by the Slim family. It serves roughly 331 million wireless subscribers and 79 million fixed revenue-generating units across 23 countries (2025 Form 20-F), operating as Telcel and Telmex in its home market of Mexico, as Claro across most of Latin America and the Caribbean, and as the majority owner of A1 Telekom Austria Group in Central and Eastern Europe. In the value chain it is a mobile network operator and fixed-line carrier — it owns the spectrum, the radio access network, the SIM estate and the subscriber identity records that network APIs monetize, and it does not resell anyone else's connectivity. Its API posture is the classic carrier posture: there is no corporate developer portal at americamovil.com (the domain is an investor-relations site and returns 403 to non-browser clients; developer.*, developers.*, docs.*, api.* and opengateway.* subdomains do not resolve), and the only real API surface in the group sits inside one operating company — Claro Brasil's "Claro Insight" marketplace at claroinsight.com.br, a registration-gated catalog of 14 network and identity APIs including CAMARA-aligned SIM Swap, Number Verification and Device Location. In Mexico, Telcel launched GSMA Open Gateway on 28 May 2025 alongside Altán Redes, AT&T Mexico and Telefónica Mexico with three APIs — SIM Swap, Number Verification and Device Location — but publishes no portal, no specification and no sandbox, only a business sales contact form. América Móvil is a GSMA Open Gateway participant and was named in Ericsson's September 2024 launch of the Aduna network-API joint venture, but it is absent from the final twelve-CSP equity structure completed in July 2025; in Brazil its CAMARA APIs reach developers through the CPaaS aggregator Infobip. Outside the Brazilian marketplace, América Móvil is partner-gated and sales-led, and is reachable by most developers only through an aggregator rather than directly.
América Móvil publishes 3 APIs on the APIs.io network: Claro SIM Swap API, Claro Device Location API, and Claro Device Location Verify API. Tagged areas include Telecommunications, Mexico, Latin America, Mobile Network Operator, and Network APIs.
The América Móvil catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.
América Móvil’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, signup flow, FAQ, privacy policy, engineering blog, changelog, and 33 more developer resources.

description: CAMARA-aligned SIM Swap API from Claro Brasil, exposed through the Claro Insight API marketplace. Returns the
date of the most recent SIM pairing change on a Brazilian mobile line, or checks whether a swap occurred within a caller-supplied

and POST /check, sandbox / lab / dev / test / production servers under api*.claro.com.br, and OAuth 2.0 client-credentials
authorization. The document states the API derives from the GSMA Mobile Connect Account Takeover Protection specification.
