Tangoe Procurement for Rivermine and Command [MobProc]
GETTING STARTED
Register your Application
The Tangoe Mobile Procurement REST API empowers developers with the ability to manage the procurement of mobile assets in new and innovative ways. This includes the ability to:
- Place procurement orders.
- View asset information.
- Retrieve the status of your orders.
This API is powered by Tangoe’s robust procurement system. As a registered user, your company will also have access to Tangoe’s extensive and up-to-date device, plan and accessory catalogs.
Upon Registration
As soon as your application is registered, Tangoe will provide you with your own unique client ID and client secret. This ID and secret are used to obtain the personalized access token that must be passed with every API call. Before Tangoe provides you with your access credentials, simply follow our easy tutorial to see how you can make your first call in just minutes.

How to Make your First API Call in Just Minutes
Once you have registered your application to use this API, you will be provided with credentials needed to access the Tangoe Mobile Procurement REST API, as well as what is needed for obtaining the access token that is required for calling the API (i.e., client ID, client secret, etc.).
Upon going through the Tangoe Mobile Procurement REST API documentation, simply click on any API endpoint in the navigation panel on the left. Each page provides extensive documentation describing the API resources, including all supported headers and query parameters. This reference guide also offers an interactive feature enabling you to submit requests for any resource. These requests will return real responses, populated with sample data.
Your API First Call using the Mocking Service
We recommend you begin by trying /ping resource first. The steps required to request this simple resource are essentially the same for all resources and can be used for exploring those as well.
To begin, simply follow these easy steps:
- On the left-hand side, scroll down to the Endpoints and locate the /ping resource.
- Click on the GET tab to open the page that describes this resource.
- In the right-hand side, you can see the mocking service where you can enter the required fields and get a 200 OK with example responses.
- In the HEADERS section, enter your tenant header (i.e., X-TNGO-TENANT).
- Click the SEND button to submit your request. This text will be returned with a successful response.
If a problem occurs while processing your request, you will receive an error message. Please refer to Errors under USING THE API for an explanation of supported HTTP status codes and error messages.
Test and Explore the API
Once you have made your first call via the Mocking Service you will be ready to explore the rest of the Mobile Procurement API.
Every resource in this API offers similar documentation that explains its purpose and query parameters, as well as the same mechanism for testing it. Simply enter the appropriate headers and query parameter values, then click the button labeled with the desired HTTP method (e.g., GET, POST). A sample response, populated with your own data, will be returned.
