Nitty Gritty of Telecom API Development

The usage of communication is increasing day by day. It is evident that the users are getting more involved with their smartphones and mobile devices for personal and professional agendas. A wide range of mobile applications is enhancing the life of users. The Telecom industry is not behind the revolution. It is being an active part of it by offering the Telecom API Development to the developers of the mobile applications and communication solutions.

Who Require Telecom APIs?

The Telecom API is required by the developers who would like to add some telecommunication features in their mobile application or a solution. This will make the job of such developers easy as they don't need to gain the expertise of telecom solution related technicalities and technologies. The telecom API development amalgamates the capabilities of mobile, another solution and telecommunication. This blend contrive in development of advanced applications and solutions.

How Telecom API Works?

An API is a set of standard functions of the software, which can be utilized by any application. The Telecom API is a set of telecommunication related functionalities of a software, which can be integrated in any application or software to add such features. A single telecom API (Application Programming Interface) can be used multiple times for programming different mobile apps or software. This nature of the API increases the code reusability, which improves the return over investment ratio.

Different Types of Telecom API

There is a wide range of Telecom APIs available in the market, which brings the plethora of opportunities to develop diversified communication tools and solution. Here, we will brief a few key telecom API with its functionality to get a good idea of it.

Calling Related API

These types of APIs can be used to add the different calling related features. An API can have one or more calling related features. Some of them are listed below

This type of API provides the filters on different criteria to accept or reject the calls. These filters can be working on the acceptance list (Whitelist), rejection list (Blacklist), behavior based, timestamp based and many other custom criteria can be part of such APIs.

Recharge API

This is one of the in trend Application Programming Interfaces. It can be used to integrate the functionalities like paying the bills, recharging the phone talktime or mobile data, etc. This type of APIs offer the development of solutions and apps such as eWallet, eMoney, etc.
