BICS

BICS is an international communications enabler and wholesale carrier, part of Proximus Global (alongside Telesign and Route Mobile). Its developer portal exposes OAuth2-secured REST APIs at api.bics.com for A2P SMS and OTP delivery, global number provisioning and portability (MyNumbers), call detail records, emergency services, and carrier-grade cloud connectivity. BICS also offers mobile identity capabilities - phone number verification, HLR/reachability lookup, SIM-swap detection and device-location signals for anti-fraud and KYC - as partner and carrier contract products across the Proximus Global network rather than as self-serve endpoints.

BICS publishes 22 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Address Management API, CDR API, Connections Management API, and 19 more. Tagged areas include Number Verification, Telecom, Mobile Identity, Anti-Fraud, and Device Location.

BICS’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, and 6 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.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% 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/.
