Connectivity notifications
The Device Status feature allows querying and reporting information on several aspects of data connectivity for a device, so you can monitor its status updates.
Getting connectivity notifications
The code snippet below will set up an HTTP server with a POST endpoint.
This will allow receiving device connectivity status updates.
For example, when a device is REACHABLE, you will be notified that it is available.
The same happens when the device is UNREACHABLE or not available.
Device-Status notifications handler
# status_handler.py for CONNECTIVITY
# run with: uvicorn status_handler:app
from fastapi import FastAPI, Header
from pydantic import BaseModel
from typing_extensions import Annotated
from typing import Union
app = FastAPI()
class ConnectivityEventDetail(BaseModel):
deviceStatus: str
class Event(BaseModel):
eventType: str
eventTime: str
eventDetail: ConnectivityEventDetail
class Notification(BaseModel):
eventSubscriptionId: str
event: Event
@app.post("/notifications")
def receive_notification(notification: Notification):
if notification.event.eventDetail.deviceStatus == "REACHABLE":
print("Device is available")
elif notification.event.eventDetail.deviceStatus == "UNREACHABLE":
print("Device is not available")What is a notification URL?

Note that the snippet above assumes you have already created Device Status subscription before, which you can learn how to do here. And that you have also created a Network-as-Code client and identified your mobile network device previously.
