GPS Data Web Service API

Introduction

The gink GPS Data Web Service takes the work out of building custom communications servers for GPS tracking devices. This makes it possible to build a tracking application without worrying about implementing your own custom server. Our REST API makes it simple to get tracking data when you need it - either on demand or to save for later processing.

Features

• Division of GPS positional data into summarized tours
• Tracker-reported events, such as ignition, harsh braking (dependent on tracker model and configuration)
• Geozones, or polygonal regions drawn on the map, can be stored and configured to integrate with alert functionality for your trackers
• Reporting of alerts (event & geozones) can be sent to your server (via HTTP POST), so that you can pass time-sensitive information immediately in the way that you determine.
• Access to digital and analog input data (dependent on tracker model)
• Data available in JSON or XML format (and browseable as HTML)
• Support for many Time Zones
• Ability to translate digital inputs into events
