GPS-Trace has released a new Platform API for registered GPS-Trace Console users. The API allows dealers, service providers, and fleet owners/operators to automate selected operations, such as retrieving statistics, creating tracking units, and working with client account data.
A Platform API is a set of rules that allows one software system to exchange data with another system.
In GPS-Trace, the API can be used to connect external tools to the platform, request statistics, create tracking units, and automate repeated operational tasks. This can be useful for companies that use internal systems, reporting tools, or other third-party software.
Access Platform API in GPS-Trace Console
The Platform API is available in GPS-Trace Console. Console users can view and test available API methods in a Swagger-based interface. Swagger provides a structured list of API requests, parameters, and responses, which helps developers check how each method works before using it in an external system.
Authorization tokens for API requests
All API requests require an authorization token. A token can be created in GPS-Trace Console and defines which API actions are allowed for the user, such as viewing statistics or making changes to available data.
To create a token, open the Tokens tab in GPS-Trace Console and generate a new token. Add the token to the X-AccessToken header in each REST API request.
Available API methods and responses may depend on the Console user’s access level, trial status, or agreement terms.
