Cradlepoint (cradlepoint)

Cradlepoint is a Boise, Idaho-based provider of cloud-managed wireless edge routers, 5G adapters, branch-in-a-box appliances, and the NetCloud platform for enterprise wireless WAN (LTE/5G), in-vehicle networks, branch connectivity, and IoT. Ericsson acquired Cradlepoint in 2020 (closed November 2020 for approximately US$1.1B) and Cradlepoint now operates as the core of Ericsson Enterprise Wireless Solutions, working alongside Ericsson Private 5G and the Ericsson NetCloud SASE offering. Cradlepoint exposes its NetCloud Manager (NCM) platform through a documented RESTful API — NCM API v2 (Swagger 1.2, paired X-CP-API-ID/X-CP-API-KEY + X-ECM-API-ID/X-ECM-API-KEY headers, base https://www.cradlepointecm.com/api/v2/) and a newer NCM API v3 (OpenAPI 3.0, bearer-token authentication) — plus a NetCloud Router SDK for on-router Python applications and webhook destinations for alert delivery. The developer area (developer.cradlepoint.com), customer support article base (customer.cradlepoint.com), and Ericsson Enterprise Wireless docs portal (docs.cradlepoint.com) host the Getting Started guides, API reference, sample collections, and Postman bundles.

APIs

Cradlepoint NetCloud Manager API v2

RESTful API for the NetCloud Manager (NCM) platform. Programmatic access to accounts, routers, groups, configuration_managers, alerts and alert_rules, alert_push_destinations, activity_logs, locations and historical_locations, net_devices, net_device_signal_samples, net_device_usage_samples, net_device_health, net_device_metrics, router_alerts, router_lans, router_state_samples, users, subscriptions, and firmware. Base URL https://www.cradlepointecm.com/api/v2/. Authentication uses two paired key sets sent as headers on every request — X-CP-API-ID / X-CP-API-KEY (account-level Cradlepoint API keys, for usage tracking) and X-ECM-API-ID / X-ECM-API-KEY (NCM-tenant API keys generated from the NCM Tools tab; carry the Administrator / Full Access / Read-Only / Diagnostic role grants). Supports GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE; not every method is supported on every resource. Documented with Swagger 1.2.

Cradlepoint NetCloud Alert Webhooks

Outbound HTTP destinations (alert_push_destinations) configured via the NCM API or UI to receive real-time JSON alert payloads when NCM alert rules fire (router offline, signal degradation, configuration change, subscription expiration, threshold breach). Each destination is a URL + optional auth headers; payload includes account, router, alert type, timestamp, and contextual metadata.

Cradlepoint NetCloud Router SDK

On-router Python SDK and toolchain (the "SDK" / "Router SDK") for building and deploying custom applications onto Cradlepoint routers running NetCloud OS. Lets developers write Python apps that read router configuration, GPIO, GPS, modem signal, and connection state, and that can be packaged and deployed across a fleet via NCM. Sample apps in cradlepoint/sdk-samples cover GPS forwarding, modem diagnostics, serial passthrough, MQTT publishing, and more.
