description: >-
  Cradlepoint is a Boise, Idaho-based provider of cloud-managed wireless edge routers, 5G adapters, branch-in-a-box
  appliances, and the NetCloud platform for enterprise wireless WAN (LTE/5G), in-vehicle networks, branch connectivity,
  and IoT. Ericsson acquired Cradlepoint in 2020 (closed November 2020 for approximately US$1.1B) and Cradlepoint now
  operates as the core of Ericsson Enterprise Wireless Solutions, working alongside Ericsson Private 5G and the Ericsson
  NetCloud SASE offering. Cradlepoint exposes its NetCloud Manager (NCM) platform through a documented RESTful API — NCM
  API v2 (Swagger 1.2, paired X-CP-API-ID/X-CP-API-KEY + X-ECM-API-ID/X-ECM-API-KEY headers, base
  https://www.cradlepointecm.com/api/v2/) and a newer NCM API v3 (OpenAPI 3.0, bearer-token authentication) — plus a
  NetCloud Router SDK for on-router Python applications and webhook destinations for alert delivery. The developer area
  (developer.cradlepoint.com), customer support article base (customer.cradlepoint.com), and Ericsson Enterprise
  Wireless docs portal (docs.cradlepoint.com) host the Getting Started guides, API reference, sample collections, and
  Postman bundles.

    name: Cradlepoint NetCloud Manager API v2
    description: >-
      RESTful API for the NetCloud Manager (NCM) platform. Programmatic access to accounts, routers, groups,
      configuration_managers, alerts and alert_rules, alert_push_destinations, activity_logs, locations and
      historical_locations, net_devices, net_device_signal_samples, net_device_usage_samples, net_device_health,
      net_device_metrics, router_alerts, router_lans, router_state_samples, users, subscriptions, and firmware. Base URL
      https://www.cradlepointecm.com/api/v2/. Authentication uses two paired key sets sent as headers on every request —
      X-CP-API-ID / X-CP-API-KEY (account-level Cradlepoint API keys, for usage tracking) and X-ECM-API-ID /
      X-ECM-API-KEY (NCM-tenant API keys generated from the NCM Tools tab; carry the Administrator / Full Access /
      Read-Only / Diagnostic role grants). Supports GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE; not every method is supported on
      every resource. Documented with Swagger 1.2.

      The next-generation NetCloud Manager API. Documented with OpenAPI 3.0, authenticated with bearer tokens, designed
      for improved performance, stability, and usability over API v2. Coexists with v2 during a multi-year transition
      window; v3 covers core router, device, alert, group, and account operations.

    description: >-
      Outbound HTTP destinations (alert_push_destinations) configured via the NCM API or UI to receive real-time JSON
      alert payloads when NCM alert rules fire (router offline, signal degradation, configuration change, subscription
      expiration, threshold breach). Each destination is a URL + optional auth headers; payload includes account,
      router, alert type, timestamp, and contextual metadata.

    description: >-
      On-router Python SDK and toolchain (the "SDK" / "Router SDK") for building and deploying custom applications onto
      Cradlepoint routers running NetCloud OS. Lets developers write Python apps that read router configuration, GPIO,
      GPS, modem signal, and connection state, and that can be packaged and deployed across a fleet via NCM. Sample apps
      in cradlepoint/sdk-samples cover GPS forwarding, modem diagnostics, serial passthrough, MQTT publishing, and more.
