Location Verification

Confirm whether a device is within an area you specify — a yes/no answer, without ever handling its exact coordinates.

Benefits

Location Verification answers a single question: is this device inside the area I care about? You send a location and a radius, and the network returns a match verdict — never the device's precise position. That makes it privacy-preserving by design: you get the assurance you need (the user is where they claim to be) without collecting coordinates you'd then have to store and protect. It's network-based, so it works without GPS and can't be spoofed by a manipulated handset.

How it works

You define an area; the operator checks the device against it on the network.

Your backend sends the phone number, a centre point (latitude/longitude), and a radius.
The operator compares the device's network-derived location to that area.
You receive a verdict — typically TRUE, FALSE, or UNKNOWN — plus a match-rate where available, never raw coordinates.

Use cases

Transaction risk scoring — confirm a payment originates near the cardholder's expected location before approving it.
Geo-fenced access — gate content, offers, or actions to users physically inside a region, without tracking them.
Delivery & service confirmation — verify a courier or field agent is at the expected site.
Fraud & compliance — flag impossible-travel patterns or enforce jurisdiction rules without storing location history.

Quick start

With an access token (see OAuth2 with Konera), verify a sandbox number against an area:

curl -X POST https://api.pxg.konera.com/camara/location-verification/v2/verify \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"device": { "phoneNumber": "+14155550123" },
"area": {
"areaType": "CIRCLE",
"center": { "latitude": 50.8466, "longitude": 4.3528 },
"radius": 2000
}
}'

Successful response:

{ "verificationResult": "TRUE" }
