API summary | This API allows for the API Consumer to check if the owner/user of the line is older than a provided age. The request parameter are a device identifier (like other CAMARA API) and an age (provided in years). The answer indicate if the user/owner is older than this age. The API objective is not to provide the exact age but to provide an information from telco aggregated information. Minimum Age requested could be limited per country (For example only age above 18 year could be checked).
