    This API provides the API consumer with the ability to query device roaming
    Status


    # Introduction


    ## Roaming Status

    API consumer is able to verify whether a certain user device is in roaming
    situation (or not).


    The verification of the roaming situation depends on the network's ability.
    Additionally to the roaming status, when the device is in roaming situation,
    visited country information could be returned in the response.


    ## Possible Use-Cases

    Roaming status verification could be useful in scenario such as (not
    exhaustive):
      - For regulatory reasons, where a customer may need to be within a certain jurisdiction, or out with others, in order for transactions to be authorized
      - For security / fraud reasons, to establish that a customer is located where they claim to be
      - For service delivery reasons, to ensure that the customer has access to particular service, and will not incur roaming charges in accessing them


    ## Relevant terms and definitions


    * **Device**: A device refers to any physical entity that can connect to a
    network and participate in network communication.
      At least one identifier for the device (user equipment) out of four options: IPv4 address, IPv6 address, Phone number, or Network Access Identifier (not supported for this API version) assigned by the mobile network operator for the device.

    * **Roaming** : Roaming status - `true`, if device is in roaming situation -
    `false` else.


    * **Country** : Country code and name - visited country information,
    provided if the device is in roaming situation.


    * **LastStatusTime** : This property specifies the time when the status was
    last updated. Its presence in the response indicates the freshness of the
    information, while its absence implies the information may be outdated or
    its freshness is uncertain.


    # API Functionality


    The API exposes following capabilities:


    ## Device roaming situation


    The endpoint `POST /retrieve` allows to get roaming status and country
    information (if device in roaming situation) synchronously.


    ### Authorization and authentication


    The "Camara Security and Interoperability Profile" provides details on how a
    client requests an access token. Please refer to Identify and Consent
    Management (https://github.com/camaraproject/IdentityAndConsentManagement/)
    for the released version of the Profile.


    Which specific authorization flows are to be used will be determined during
    onboarding process, happening between the API Client and the Telco Operator
    exposing the API, taking into account the declared purpose for accessing the
    API, while also being subject to the prevailing legal framework dictated by
    local legislation.


    It is important to remark that in cases where personal user data is
    processed by the API, and users can exercise their rights through mechanisms
    such as opt-in and/or opt-out, the use of 3-legged access tokens becomes
    mandatory. This measure ensures that the API remains in strict compliance
    with user privacy preferences and regulatory obligations, upholding the
    principles of transparency and user-centric data control.


    # Identifying a device from the access token


    This specification defines the `device` object field as optional in API
    requests, specifically in cases where the API is accessed using a 3-legged
    access token, and the device can be uniquely identified by the token. This
    approach simplifies API usage for API consumers by relying on the device
    information associated with the access token used to invoke the API.


    ## Handling of device information:


    ### Optional device object for 3-legged tokens:


    - When using a 3-legged access token, the device associated with the access
    token must be considered as the device for the API request. This means that
    the device object is not required in the request, and if included it must
    identify the same device, therefore **it is recommended NOT to include it in
    these scenarios** to simplify the API usage and avoid additional
    validations.


    ### Validation mechanism:


    - The server will extract the device identification from the access token,
    if available.

    - If the API request additionally includes a `device` object when using a
    3-legged access token, the API will validate that the device identifier
    provided matches the one associated with the access token.

    - If there is a mismatch, the API will respond with a 403 -
    INVALID_TOKEN_CONTEXT error, indicating that the device information in the
    request does not match the token.


    ### Error handling for unidentifiable devices:


    - If the `device` object is not included in the request and the device
    information cannot be derived from the 3-legged access token, the server
    will return a 422 `UNIDENTIFIABLE_DEVICE` error.


    ### Restrictions for tokens without an associated authenticated identifier:


    - For scenarios which do not have a single device identifier associated to
    the token during the authentication flow, e.g. 2-legged access tokens, the
    `device` object MUST be provided in the API request. This ensures that the
    device identification is explicit and valid for each API call made with
    these tokens.

        (this information can be obtained by various means, for example from
        some DNS servers).


        If the allocated and observed IP addresses are the same (i.e. NAT is not

        publicAddress and privateAddress.


        If NAT64 is in use, the device should be identified by its publicAddress

        ipv6Address of the Device object)


        In all cases, publicAddress must be specified, along with at least one
        of either privateAddress or publicPort, dependent upon which is known.
