**APIs profiled:** 30

CAMARA is the Telco Global API Alliance — an open-source project hosted by the Linux Foundation that defines, builds, and tests a unified set of network APIs across the world's mobile operators. Working alongside the GSMA Open Gateway commercialization initiative, CAMARA produces operator-neutral OpenAPI 3.0 specifications for 60+ telco network capabilities including Number Verification, SIM Swap, Device Location, Quality on Demand, KYC, Carrier Billing, Edge Discovery, Device Status, SMS, and more — all published under Apache 2.0. The project is organized into Sandbox, Incubating, and Graduated sub-projects with cross-cutting Commonalities, Identity and Consent Management, and Release Management working groups. Major contributors include Deutsche Telekom, Orange, Telefonica, Vodafone, T-Mobile, Verizon, AT&T, KDDI, SK Telecom, China Mobile, and dozens of other operators and vendors.
