Telecom apps and their data APIs

Carrier and top-up apps — the APIs that check balances, data usage, plans, and recharge status for subscribers.

Carrier apps split into subscriber self-care and retailer tooling. Asiacell is the subscriber side: after MSISDN + OTP sign-in, Bearer calls return the plan, data buckets, loyalty points and IQD balance across thirteen endpoints from usage records to top-up. hambi (Beeline Uzbekistan) covers the same ground for UZS accounts — account overview, profile and multi-line management behind a session-renewal flow.

Mitra is the retailer side of Airtel India: OTP-verified agents hold a float wallet (/v1/retailers/wallet), earn commission, search transactions and sell recharges — the reseller ledger behind every prepaid top-up in a corner shop.

Frequently asked questions

What subscriber data do carrier self-care apps expose?

Plan and remaining data buckets, core balance, loyalty points, usage and call-detail records, and bill amounts — Asiacell exposes all of these behind Bearer-token calls after MSISDN + OTP sign-in; hambi exposes account overview and lines for Beeline Uzbekistan subscribers.

What is a retailer app API?

Mitra is Airtel India's retailer client: verified agents hold a float wallet, earn commission per recharge, search transactions and subscribe customers to plans — the wholesale side of prepaid distribution, all behind OTP verification.

How do these carrier apps authenticate?

All three use phone-number OTP sign-in that mints a session token: Asiacell via a start/verify pair, hambi via session renewal, Mitra via OTP verify. Every data call then carries the Bearer token.
