# Akamai BMP — overview

> Mobile SDK sensor for the x-acf-sensor-data header.

Akamai's mobile protection (BMP — Bot Manager Premier) expects a sensor computed by the Akamai
mobile SDK and sent as the `x-acf-sensor-data` header. VeilRoute generates that sensor for you.

**Host:** `bmp.veilroute.dev`

## IP-independent

Unlike the web sensor, the mobile sensor is **not tied to an IP**. You can request it from VeilRoute
and send your actual API request from any proxy or egress you choose.

* Android sensor, SDK **4.2.0**.
* One request per sensor.
* Pair it with an **OkHttp-style TLS client** so your request fingerprint matches a real Android app.

## Typical flow

**1. Request a sensor**

Call [`POST /api/v1/sensor`](/akamai-bmp/generate-sensor) with the target `app` identifier.

**2. Attach the header**

Send the returned `sensor` as the `x-acf-sensor-data` header on your mobile API request.

**3. Send from your proxy**

Use your own egress and an OkHttp-style TLS client to make the request.
