Location Verification
Confirm a Device Is Where It Claims to Be — at the Network Level.
The CAMARA Location Verification API checks whether a mobile device is genuinely within a geographic area you define — a circle specified by latitude, longitude, and a radius. Verification uses the operator's live cell-tower data on 4G and 5G networks, with no reliance on device-reported GPS that can be spoofed.
How It Works
Three simple steps from API integration to real-time network intelligence.
Define the Target Area
Send the phone number plus a circle definition — a center point (latitude/longitude) and a radius in meters. Optionally set a maxAge to reject stale location data.
Operator Cell-Tower Cross-Check
Almuqeet routes the request to the operator's location infrastructure, which cross-references the device's current cell attachment against your specified circle. No GPS involved.
Verified Result Returned
The response returns TRUE, FALSE, or UNKNOWN. A partial match indicator shows how closely detected location aligns with the requested area, enabling nuanced downstream logic.
The Network-Level Difference
Moving beyond application-layer security to direct mobile network validation.
Device GPS Is a Client-Side Trust Problem
Any user can install a free GPS spoofing app and report any location they choose. This breaks geofencing for regulated gambling, enables delivery fraud, bypasses regional licensing for streaming platforms, and undermines financial transaction location checks — all without triggering any server-side alert.
Operator Cell-Tower Data Cannot Be Spoofed
Your application doesn't ask the device where it is — it asks the operator. The cell tower a device is physically attached to cannot be faked by a spoofing app. Almuqeet surfaces this network-authoritative location as a simple circle verification, usable across every sector that depends on physical presence.
Industry Applications
Deployed across industries that demand network-grade trust and real-time reliability.
Financial Fraud Prevention
Cross-reference cardholder device location against an ATM or point-of-sale terminal location before authorizing the transaction.
Gaming & Regulated Betting
Enforce hard jurisdictional boundaries — verify the user is physically in a licensed region, not relying on a VPN or GPS spoof to bypass geo-restrictions.
Logistics & Delivery
Automate proof-of-delivery by confirming the delivery device is within the drop-off radius — no driver input, no manual confirmation required.
