  • To request API access, you need to provide your Google technical contact with your Google Cloud project ID and the carrier you represent.

  • A Google-provided @google.com account must be added to your project with "Service Usage Admin" role to complete the API access configuration.

  • Sample Javascript and Curl code examples are provided to help understand how to use the RBM Operations API.

To gain access to the RBM Operations API, complete the following steps:

Create a Google Cloud project

Create a Google Cloud project to access the API through the Google Cloud Console. The API is free to use.
