Africa Connectivity API
The Africa Connectivity API exposes supported African mobile-network operations through one REST interface across 10 markets and 37 production network codes. It carries workflows for deployments totalling 1M+ SIMs.
Connectivity workflows in one integration
Use one operational interface to recharge airtime and data bundles, read SIM and bundle balances, run SIM lifecycle actions, control data sessions, send SMS and retrieve delivery status, order eSIMs, track KYC status and consume provisioning webhooks.
Built for operational teams
IoT, fintech, embedded-connectivity and engineering teams use the API to replace repeated network-specific implementation work across supported Sub-Saharan markets.
