Esper

Esper is the DevOps platform for connected devices, providing cloud-based Android (and edge) device management, application deployment, and remote orchestration for dedicated-device fleets. The Esper Manage REST API lets developers programmatically provision, monitor, and control Android-based dedicated devices running the Esper agent: manage devices and device groups, upload and roll out applications and versions, run device and group commands, configure compliance and enterprise policies, set up geofences, manage content, and subscribe to device events via webhooks. APIs are authenticated with a Bearer API key and served per-tenant on a dedicated Esper Cloud environment, with an official Python SDK (esperclient) and CLI.

Esper publishes 13 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Application API, Application V1 API, Commands API, and 10 more. Tagged areas include Device Management, Mobile Device Management, Android, DevOps, and Internet of Things.

The Esper catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Esper’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, and 12 more developer resources.
