GPS tracker API for the systems you build yourself

More operators now build their own tools: a dispatch board, a customer portal, a jobs app, often written with the help of Claude, ChatGPT or another AI assistant. The Fleetalyse GPS tracker API connects them to live, accurate tracking data from your vehicles, so what you build always shows where your fleet really 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. Positions arrive from the vehicle, not from a guess, and each one carries the time it was recorded, so your system can tell 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. Good for dashboards that refresh every minute, customer portals and scheduled reports.

API documentation

Have it sent: live data push

Fleetalyse forwards new positions and events to an HTTPS address you give us as they arrive, and keeps retrying for up to 12 hours until your system confirms each delivery. Good for live boards, alerts and anything that must not miss an update.

Live data push documentation

Built with AI

Connecting a system you built with an AI assistant

AI coding assistants handle API integrations well 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 are happy to look over an integration with you, whoever wrote it.

Keep it accurate and safe

  • 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 instead of asking the API again and again, and stay within five requests at a time.
  • Store and show the time of every position, so an old position is never mistaken for a live one.
  • Test with one vehicle first, then switch on the whole fleet.

Over 200 supported GPS tracker and telematics devices

Fleetalyse works with over 200 GPS tracker and telematics device models, from plug-in OBD trackers for cars and vans to FMS-connected units for HGVs, battery trackers for trailers and connected dashcams. Whatever mix your fleet runs, the API returns its data in one format, so your system has one integration to maintain, not one per device.

Our shop sells the Teltonika trackers we recommend, supplied ready for Fleetalyse. If you already run other hardware, ask us whether it is on the list.

Which plans include the API

API access comes with the Pro (from £7.99 per device a month, inc VAT) and HGV Pro (from £11.99) subscriptions. Tracking devices are sold separately.

Getting started with the Fleetalyse API

  1. Choose Pro or HGV Pro and the trackers for your vehicles, or talk to us about hardware you already have.
  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.
  4. Watch the data arrive, and call our UK team if anything needs a hand.

GPS tracker API questions

Does Fleetalyse have a GPS tracker API?

Yes. Pro and HGV Pro accounts can read their live and historical tracking data through the Fleetalyse API. 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, and keeps retrying for up to 12 hours until your system confirms each delivery. It is documented 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 over 200 GPS tracker and telematics device models, from plug-in OBD trackers for vans to FMS-connected units for HGVs and battery trackers for trailers.

Is there a limit on API requests?

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

Which Fleetalyse plans include API access?

API access comes with the Pro and HGV Pro subscriptions. Tracking devices are sold separately.
