TIM

TIM S.p.A. (formerly Telecom Italia) is the incumbent Italian telecommunications operator headquartered in Rome and one of the largest telcos in Europe. The group operates fixed and mobile networks across Italy under the TIM Consumer and TIM Enterprise brands, runs TIM Brasil (the second-largest mobile operator in Brazil), and owns a portfolio of technology subsidiaries including Sparkle (international connectivity and quantum-safe infrastructure), Noovle (cloud), Telsy (cybersecurity), and Olivetti (IT services). TIM exposes its mobile network as a programmable platform through the developer.tim.it portal in Italy and through TIM Open Gateway in Brazil, both implementing CAMARA-standard network APIs (SIM Swap, Number Verification, Know Your Customer, IP-to-MSISDN, IP-to- Number, Device Location) jointly defined by the Linux Foundation, TM Forum, and GSMA. These APIs let banks, fintechs, insurers, retailers, and online services authenticate users, detect SIM-swap fraud, verify customer identity, and locate devices using TIM's mobile network as the trust anchor. As of late 2025 TIM Brasil reported 50 million Open Gateway API queries across its catalog.

human only

Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles TIM the way a machine reads it — 8 machine-readable artifacts across 6 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — TIM scores 12.2/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile TIM

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for TIM. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 6

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

TIM SIM Swap

CAMARA-aligned API that returns the timestamp of the last SIM swap (or whether a swap occurred within a caller-supplied window) for a given TIM mobile number. Used by banks and ...

TIM Number Verification

CAMARA Number Verification API that authenticates a mobile device by silently confirming the MSISDN bound to the active mobile data session against the number asserted by the ap...

TIM Know Your Customer - Match

KYC Match API that compares customer-supplied attributes (name, tax ID, date of birth, address) against TIM's subscriber records and returns per-attribute match scores. Used dur...

TIM IP to MSISDN

Given an IP address observed by a relying party, returns the TIM mobile number (MSISDN) currently associated with that radio session. Intended for banking and payment apps that ...

TIM IP to Number

Given an IP address, returns the TIM fixed-line or mobile number associated with the session. Extends IP-to-MSISDN to cover both mobile and broadband subscribers for fraud and a...

TIM Device Location

CAMARA Device Location verification API offered by TIM Brasil Open Gateway. Confirms whether a mobile device is physically within a supplied geographic area at request time, sup...

Security Posture 2

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
