The increasingly complex multi-partner digital services value chain raises new challenges in terms of ensuring time-to-market, seamless management, cost-effectiveness and revenue sharing.

In order to meet these challenges, TM Forum members including the world’s largest service providers and suppliers, have been working to develop APIs that enable the open digital ecosystem and provide critical management functionality to digital services.

This table contains links to Beta versions of the Open APIs which are available to TM Forum members oAPI Project Members only.

By default, the information in the table is sorted by API title, but can be re-sorted (for example, by Document Number or Release Version) by clicking on the relevant column headings.

Please note that Comments are no longer permitted on this page. If you have any questions regarding the content of the Open API Table please post them as discussion topics on the   Open API Community Forum .
