China Mobile Limited is the world's largest mobile network operator by subscribers, serving approximately 1,005 million mobile customers and 110 million gigabit broadband customers across all 31 provinces of mainland China plus Hong Kong, with roaming into more than 200 countries. Listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the Shanghai Stock Exchange and majority-owned by state-held China Mobile Communications Group, it runs mobile, broadband, cellular IoT, satellite internet, data centre, cloud and AI businesses on annual revenue of about RMB 1,050.2 billion. In the network-API value chain China Mobile sits squarely on the operator side, not the aggregator side. It joined the GSMA Open Gateway initiative in June 2023, sponsors and maintains several CAMARA APIs upstream (Click to Dial, the Model as a Service family, High-throughput Elastic Network, Facial Recognition, and co-sponsors Network Slice Booking), and in October 2024 secured GSMA Open Gateway certification for its Network-as-a-Service platform after its Quality on Demand API passed 63 conformance tests on ZTE NEF/SCEF exposure functions. None of that is callable from the open internet. Its API posture is partner-gated and domestic — the capability platforms at dev.10086.cn, ct.open.10086.cn and api.iot.10086.cn publish real product and interface documentation but issue credentials only to registered mainland enterprise customers under contract, and China Mobile is not a shareholder in Aduna, so it reaches developers through its own Chinese-language capability marketplaces rather than through the global CPaaS or aggregator channel. The one genuinely self-serve surface is OneNET, its IoT PaaS, which publishes open developer documentation and a live token-authenticated device API.
China Mobile publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network: OneNET Studio Application API and OneNET Voice Call Service (VCS) API. Tagged areas include Telecommunications, China, Mobile Network Operator, Network APIs, and CAMARA.
The China Mobile catalog on APIs.io includes 2 event-driven AsyncAPI specifications.
China Mobile’s developer surface includes developer portal, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, pricing, signup flow, and 24 more developer resources.

name: OneNET Studio Application API
description: The OneNET Studio application API is the one China Mobile surface with a complete, anonymously readable request-and-response
contract. It is an action-dispatched gateway — every call is https://openapi.heclouds.com/{namespace}?action={Action}&version=1,
where the namespace is application (application development), common (device management), lwm2m-online or lwm2m-offline.
Forty-four operations are documented across devices, products, projects, groups, thing models, device properties and desired
properties, thing-model service invocation, device files and scene-linkage rules. Authentication is a signed, time-boxed
authorization header (HMAC over et, method, res and version, signature algorithm version 2020-05-29). Every response is
a uniform envelope carrying a platform-generated requestId, and business failures arrive as HTTP 200 with success false
plus a string error code. China Mobile publishes no OpenAPI for it; the OpenAPI in this repository was transcribed operation
by operation from the published reference, with each operation carrying its source page in x-evidence.

description: 语音通话 (Voice Call Service) is China Mobile's publicly documented voice capability on the OneNET gateway, reached
at https://openapi.heclouds.com/vcs?action={voiceNotify|dialNotify}&version=2. Click to dial (点击拨号) connects a caller
and a callee across the China Mobile network; voice notification (语音通知) plays an approved TTS template to a subscriber
and can collect DTMF digits. Both return a call_id and both deliver call-status callbacks to a caller-supplied notify_url,
with documented status and disconnect-reason enumerations. Click to Dial is the domestic first-party product behind the
CAMARA Click to Dial API that China Mobile sponsors upstream with Huawei — the shipped product does not implement the
CAMARA schema or its OIDC/CIBA security model. Access is gated three ways — business entitlement, a test account pinned
to an approved source IP, and a trial-usage quota. Service numbers and TTS templates require qualification review before
use.

OTA, message queue, SMS, LBS and video capabilities. The legacy REST base URL api.heclouds.com is live and responds with
a JSON token authentication error to unauthenticated calls, confirming a real token-authenticated device API behind the

operations to enterprise IoT customers. Interface documentation is published openly — the confirmed CMIOT_API2003 码号信息查询
(code/number information query) page documents GET/POST https://api.iot.10086.cn/v2/cardinfo, which resolves any one of
ICCID, IMSI or MSISDN into the other two. Authentication is a proprietary signed-request scheme (appid, transid, ebid
and a SHA-256 token derived from appid+password+transid) whose credentials China Mobile issues by email to approved enterprise
IoT-card customers only. No OpenAPI is published.

— 语音通知 (voice notification), 语音验证码 (voice OTP), 点击拨号 (click to dial) and 中间号 (number masking / privacy number) — plus
an intelligent-pipe product, QoS保障 (QoS guarantee). Click to Dial and QoS map directly to the CAMARA Click to Dial and
Quality on Demand APIs that China Mobile sponsors upstream. The guide covers product introduction, quick start, interface
guidance and pricing, but ordering and credentials require enterprise onboarding; no base URL, endpoint reference or machine-readable
definition is published anonymously.

as offering 移动认证/号码认证 (mobile and number authentication), 大数据服务 (big data services), 通信能力 (communication capabilities),
支付能力 (payment/carrier-billing capabilities) and promotion capabilities. In practice it is an enterprise procurement console
rather than a developer portal — its routes are login, ability ordering, application management, billing, invoices and
work orders, and every documentation route resolves to the same single-page shell for anonymous visitors. Its number-authentication
capability is the domestic analogue of CAMARA Number Verification and is delivered through China Mobile's CMPassport unified-authentication
gateway rather than through a CAMARA endpoint.
