GPS tracker API for the systems you build yourself

More operators now build their own tools, such as a dispatch board or a customer portal, and often write them with help from Claude, ChatGPT or another AI assistant. The Fleetalyse GPS tracker API feeds those tools live tracking data from your vehicles. What you build shows where the fleet actually is.

What your system can read from Fleetalyse

The API covers the data your team works with in the Fleetalyse platform, for every tracker on your account. Each position comes from the vehicle itself and carries the time it was recorded. That timestamp is how your system tells a vehicle that has stopped from one that has lost signal.

✓

Live vehicle location

Latitude, longitude, speed, direction, ignition and whether each vehicle is driving or standing, with the time of the last update.

✓

Routes and trips

Where each vehicle went, when it stopped, distances driven and country crossings, for reports and proof of delivery.

✓

Fuel and CAN data

Fuel levels, fuel use and CAN values such as odometer, engine hours and axle weights, where the vehicle and device provide them.

✓

Drivers and tachograph

Driver identification, driving and rest times, and remote tachograph DDD file downloads for HGV fleets.

✓

Places, alerts and events

Saved places and geofences, arrivals and departures, power, ignition, crash and other alerts as they happen.

✓

Sensors and trailers

Temperature and humidity sensors, reefer units and connected trailers, where they are fitted.

Two ways to connect your tracker data

Most integrations use both: the API for lists, history and reports, and data push for anything that has to be up to the minute.

Ask for it: the REST API

Your system calls the API whenever it needs data and gets JSON or XML back. Each request carries your account's API key, and up to five can run at once. Use it for customer portals, scheduled reports and dashboards that refresh every minute.

API documentation

Have it sent: live data push

As new positions and events arrive, Fleetalyse forwards them to an HTTPS address you give us. If your system doesn't confirm a delivery, we keep retrying for up to 12 hours. Choose this when a live board or an alert can't afford to miss an update.

Live data push documentation

Built with AI

Connecting a system you built with an AI assistant

AI coding assistants are good at API integrations once they can read the documentation. Give yours the Fleetalyse API link and describe the job in plain words, for example: "Every minute, fetch all vehicles from the Fleetalyse API and show them on the map in our jobs system." It can work out the endpoints and write the code.

We're happy to look over an integration with you, whoever (or whatever) wrote it.

Get these right early

  • Keep the API key on your server, in an environment variable, never in code that runs in a browser or a phone app.
  • Use data push for live updates rather than asking the API over and over. Stay within five requests at a time.
  • Store and show the time of every position. Otherwise, sooner or later, someone will mistake an old position for a live one.
  • Test with one vehicle first, then switch on the whole fleet.

342 supported GPS tracker and telematics devices from 42 manufacturers

Fleetalyse works with 342 GPS tracker and telematics device models from 42 manufacturers. That includes plug-in OBD trackers for cars and vans, FMS-connected units for HGVs, battery trackers for trailers and connected dashcams. If your fleet runs a mix, the API still returns all of it in one format. You maintain one integration, not one per device.

Our shop sells the Teltonika trackers we recommend, supplied ready for Fleetalyse. Already running other hardware? Ask us whether it's on the list.

Which plans include the API

Every subscription includes it, from Essential at £5.99 per device a month inc VAT up to HGV Pro. Tracking devices are sold separately.

  1. Choose a subscription and the trackers for your vehicles, or talk to us about hardware you already have. API access is included on every tier, from Essential at £5.99 per device a month inc VAT.
  2. Get your API key once your trackers are live. You can create one in your Fleetalyse tracker account, or we will set it up with you.
  3. Point your system at the API, or give the documentation link to your developer or AI assistant.

GPS tracker API questions

Does Fleetalyse have a GPS tracker API?

Yes. Every Fleetalyse account can read its live and historical tracking data through the Fleetalyse API, on any subscription from Essential at £5.99 per device a month inc VAT. The documentation is public at https://login.fleetalyse.co.uk/api/ and every request is made with an API key for your account.

Can I connect an app I built with Claude, ChatGPT or another AI tool?

Yes. Give the assistant the API documentation link and describe what your system needs. It can read the endpoints and write the integration, and your system then gets the same live positions your team sees in Fleetalyse. Keep the API key on your server, never in code that runs in a browser or a phone app.

Can Fleetalyse send live positions to my system automatically?

Yes. Live data push forwards new positions and events to an HTTPS address you choose as they arrive. If your system does not confirm a delivery, it keeps retrying for up to 12 hours. The details are at https://login.fleetalyse.co.uk/api/push/.

What data does the Fleetalyse API return?

Vehicles with their current position, speed, direction and ignition; route history and trips; fuel levels and fuel use; CAN data; drivers and tachograph files; temperature sensors; saved places and alerts. What each vehicle reports depends on its device and installation. Responses come as JSON or XML.

How many devices does Fleetalyse support?

Fleetalyse works with 342 GPS tracker and telematics device models from 42 manufacturers. That includes plug-in OBD trackers for cars and vans, FMS-connected units for HGVs, battery trackers for trailers and connected dashcams.

Is there a limit on API requests?

Yes. Up to five requests can run at the same time. For live updates, use data push rather than asking the API over and over.

Which Fleetalyse plans include API access?

All of them. API access is included with every Fleetalyse subscription, from Essential at £5.99 per device a month inc VAT upwards. Tracking devices are sold separately.
