API Access

JSON API Service Information

API Access is available to a wide variaty of clientele, including retail shops, buy-back programs, recycling centers, pawn shops, and law enforcement agencies originating in the United States.

Our API allows our partners the ability to integrate the deviceCheck service into their own platform, making it possible automate the IMEI checking process without the need to manually visit the website to check the status of a device's IMEI.

Contact Us if you're interested in our deviceCheck API.



<?php
 $apiurl = "https://devicecheck.us/api/v2/checkimei";
 $postdata = json_encode(array("token" => YOUR_API_KEY,"service" => SERVICE_NAME,"imei" => YOUR_IMEI));
 $ch = curl_init();
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $apiurl);
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postdata);
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type:application/json'));
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
 $result = curl_exec($ch);
 curl_close($ch);

 print_r($result);
?>

Using our API

Using the example code, you will be able to make a simple API call to our deviceCheck API with the help of CURL and PHP.

While this example shows you one method, your options are not strictly limited to using PHP. We have clients who use perl, python, and .NET just to name a few.

The only thing you need to send in your JSON encoded POST string is your API Token, the IMEI of a wireless device, as well as the service you want to check your IMEI against.

For example, if you wanted to check a device against the IMEI Blacklist, your POST data would look like such:

{"token":"r@nd0m70k3nh3r3","service":"blacklist","imei":"352978091717190"}

Pricing Information

Our API Service operates on a tier-based billing system. Each account incurs a monthly service fee, which covers the first 2,000 IMEIs processed within that month.

At the beginning of each month, we will issue an invoice for the previous month's usage, due within 15 days. The invoice amount will include the service fee and the tiered rates for the number of IMEIs checked beyond the first 2,000.

For example, if your business processed 13,121 IMEIs during the billing period, the amount due would be calculated as follows:

The first 2,000 IMEIs are covered by the service fee.
The next 3,000 IMEIs (2,001 to 5,000) are billed at Tier 2 rate per IMEI.
The subsequent 5,000 IMEIs (5,001 to 10,000) are billed at Tier 3 rate per IMEI.
The remaining IMEIs (10,001 and above) are billed at Tier 4 rate per IMEI.

Therefore, the total amount due would be the sum of the service fee and the charges for the additional IMEIs processed.

Tier 1

$300 /mo

0 - 2,000 IMEIs

Tier 2

$0.12 /ea

2,001 - 5,000 IMEIs

Tier 3

$0.10 /ea

5,001 - 10,000 IMEIs

Tier 4

$0.08 /ea

10,001+ IMEIs
