HiCellTek API

Integrate device intelligence and protocol decoding into your systems. REST API, real-time, global coverage.

REST API JSON Responses IMEI & TAC RRC & NAS Decoding Free Tier

Two APIs. One Integration.

Choose the API that fits your workflow, or use both together.

IMEI & Device API

Device Intelligence

Live

Identify devices, check TAC, verify specifications, get band compatibility, at scale.

  • 500K+ device models in database
  • JSON response, REST endpoints
  • Rate limiting with generous free tier
100 free lookups/month. Plans from $49/mo for higher volumes.

Built for real-world pipelines

From certification labs to network operations centers, teams use HiCellTek APIs to automate the repetitive and scale the complex.

Device certification pipelines

Automate IMEI/TAC verification in your testing workflows. Resolve model, chipset and band support programmatically, no manual lookups.

Network log analysis

Decode L3 traces programmatically for automated QoS reporting. Parse RRC and NAS messages in batch from your Python or Node.js pipelines.

Carrier compliance

Batch verify device compatibility with your network bands. Identify unsupported TACs before devices reach the field.
