summary
CAMARA defines 62 operator-exposed APIs, has 165 named partners and reports 269 commercial launches with ~79% mobile connection coverage in signed markets. Examples include silent number verification, a sim swap yes/no response endpoint (maxAge parameter for 48h), Quality-on-Demand steering and device data volume for adaptive media. APIs live in public repos with sandboxes, GSMA certification and twice-yearly meta releases; operators, aggregators and hyperscalers implement or expose them to developers per-market.
