API-Integration

Using our API is easy as 1,2,3 - Try it yourself!

Preamble

FLEETIZE® is offering you an API to integrate FLEETIZE-rawdata into your 3rd-Party-Application. Our API offers almost all rawdata, also used for FLEETIZE-Functions.

This API makes it easy to build your own vehicle-fleet-processes. Use it to automate your daily dues according to the states and locations of your vehicles and safe time and reduce your costs. Please mind, that this API only delivers rawdata and does not contain processed results like logbook-route-data eg. Also mind, that this document doesnt represents the full list of all API-Commands. In cases you want to do more, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Note: this API-Documentation describes the API starting from FLEETIZE®-Dashboard-Release Version 3.4.49 of 31st January 2021 and all further versions.

Intended Audience

This documentation helps software developers who want to integrate FLEETIZE® within 3rd-Party applications. Use this API to pump out vehicle-data from the FLEETIZE®-Platform for using these in your own application or projects. To start using our API, we recommend to cover the following knowledge:

  • Usage of HTTP protocol
  • Experiences in using RESTful web services
  • Your favorite Programming-language for parsing JSON-Files

Requirements

For using the FLEETIZE®-API you need to register for a user-account at https://login.fleetize.com and own at least one FLEETIZE®-Device with a servicerate which is legited for API-Access.

Depending on the booked servicerate the amount of accessable information can vary.

Getting your API-Token

To avoid misuse of the FLEETIZE®-API, every legitimated user needs to use his own personal API-Token. As far as you are legitimated to use the API, you can find your personal API-Token within your FLEETIZE®-Account at the settings-menu under "My Account > Administration".

Requesting the API

Our API can be accessed with simple HTTP-Request REST-Calls, according to the following URI-Structure (Uniform Resource Identifiers):

https://api.fleetize.com/v2/{ActionCode}

Every HTTP-Request has an Action-Code and a different amount of POST-Parameters. Every Action-Requests require your personal API-Token. Please mind the API-Restrictions about how to use your personal API-Token correctly.

In all cases requesting the API you will get a JSON-File as a result, containing data of the requested Action-Code.

API-Restrictions

For requesting the API, each request needs to contain your personal API-Token. Without this Token, or by providing a wrong API-Token, you will get the following warning while accessing the API:

ERROR #1000 - INVALID API TOKEN

API-Requests per minute

Depending on your payed rate, you are allowed to request API every 60 seconds from the same IP-Address. If you exceed this limit, you will get the following warning and the 60 seconds counter will restart:

ERROR #1055 - QUERY-THRESHOLD EXCEEDED - PLEASE REDUCE QUERY-INTERVAL, OTHERWISE YOUR TOKEN WILL BE BLOCKED

The API-Access will be blocked in case of continuous requests lower than 60 seconds. In this case you will see this warning and have to contact the FLEETIZE-Support:

ERROR #1002 - QUERY-THRESHOLD EXCEEDED - API TOKEN BLOCKED

IP-Limitation

Each API-Request is paired with the calling IP-Address. Depending on your payed rate, you can access the API only with one IP-Address at the same time. Each request is logged and any abuse of the API may result in a temporary or permanent ban from the API.

Getting a list of your devices

Returning all legitimated devices for the given API-Token is possible with the following Action-Request:

https://api.fleetize.com/v2/devicelist

POST-Parameters:

Attribute
Description
apitoken
Your personal API-Token
scope
You can reduce the amount of data by specifying them, eg. "device_id;device_name;"

The API will respond with all of your legitimated devices including the basic device-data:

[
  {
   "device_id":492,
   "device_imei":359183064907632,
   "device_type":"CAR",
   "device_name":"My vehicle",
   "device_description":"BMW E46 M3 Coupe",
   "device_portrait":"http%3A%2F%2Ftrack.fleetize.com%2Fassets%2Fimg%2Fdevices%2F1471424858072.png",,
   "device_mileage":277910,
   "device_distance":0,
   "online_timestamp":1426576180,
   "heartbeat_timestamp":1426776180,
   "error_code":0,
   "error_text":null,
   "status_absence":"Parking: 1d 10h",
   "status_description":"parked since Di, 17.03., 08:09",
   "status_text":"offline",
   "location":"48.87778,9.34889",
  },
  {
   "device_id":493,
   "device_imei":349133054916622,
   "device_type":"CAR",
   ...
  }
]

Getting specific Device- & Tracking-Information

You can get all device-data and tracking-information by sending the following Action-Request:

https://api.fleetize.com/v2/device

POST-Parameters:

Attribute
Description
apitoken
Your personal API-Token
device
Device-API-ID of the intended vehicle
time
Optional unix-timestamp of targeted day. Leave empty to get data of latest, activity day.
scope
You can reduce the amount of data by specifying them, eg. "device_id;device_name;"

You can find the Vehicle-API-ID within the list of your devices or within the respective vehicle-configuration-page in your FLEETIZE®-Account.

Giving a Timestamp is optionally. If you don't serve a timestamp, the API will export the latest data for the requested device. For Example: for exporting data of the 21st November 2014, please add the Timestamp "1416528000". You also can give the timestamp for 21st November 2014, 11 AM. The API would convert the Timestamp 1416567600 to 1416528000 so it always returns the vehicle-data of the whole 24 hours of the day.

Scoping the data with "scope" will help you to reduce the transfer data, if you are only interested in partial information. Please provide the needed variable-names separated by semicolons.

In all cases requesting the API you will get a JSON-File as a result, containing all relevant data of the last 24 hours for the given vehicle-id:

{
 "device":
  {
   "device_id":492,
   "device_name":"My vehicle",
   "device_description":"BMW E46 M3 Coupe",
   "device_mileage":277910,
   "status_text":"offline",
   "location":"48.87778,9.34889",
  },
 "routes":[
  {
   "origin_timestamp":"1428498484",
   "origin_mileage":277843,
   "origin_location":"48.87917,9.19194",
   "destination_timestamp":"1428503164",
   "destination_mileage":277870,
   "destination_location":"48.82556,9.33111",
   "route_points":"48.82556,9.33111,0;48.82556,9.33111,0;...",
  }
 ]
}
