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.

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 1 API on the APIs.io network: Manage API. 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.
