About

The free /tools/imei-check page is rate-limited and meant for casual lookups. The Device Risk API is the B2B variant: HMAC-signed, unlimited lookups under contract, with per-call billing and SLA-grade response times. Backed by the same BlacklistRecord table that powers PhoneToolkit's on-device blocked tracker. Aggregated from: KAKEL Store's own returns flow, Companion APK stolen-reports, AT&T orphan workflow, partner contributions, and GSMA Device Check (where licensed).

Features

— POST /v1/lookup with IMEI, Apple serial, or ECID
— HMAC-signed requests (per-customer key pair)
— Aggregate counts + per-source breakdown in the response
— Optional write tier: contribute your own stolen reports back to the dataset (revenue share)
— Per-call billing or volume contracts via Stripe
— SDK clients for Node, Python, Go (roadmap)
