Hi Team, receive a cordial greeting.
We are currently testing integration with GeoTab API. Is it possible that you can provide us with a demo account or demo vehicle to test the carrier locations? If not, what would you recommend to us?
Thank you!

Hello @CCamb-1675 ,
Thank you for asking your question in our community. I think a demo preview database would be a good fit. When creating a demo database on a preview server, data is simulated and you can begin working with the API and UI. The database would self destruct within a week. But another can be created. https://mypreview.geotab.com/registration.html
Let me know if you have any questions or concerns about this. I am happy to help.
Have a good one!

@syedaghazalzahraasim Hi Syed, thanks for letting me know—the MyPreview link in my older reply is no longer active. Sorry about that.
For API testing, you can create a demo database through MyGeotab registration (https://my.geotab.com/registration.html). Choose the Create a Demo Database option and follow the prompts. It includes simulated vehicle data for testing; you can select an expiry date of up to 60 days. You'll then use that database and an API user to connect. The SDK Getting Started guide (https://developers.geotab.com/myGeotab/guides/gettingStarted/) has more information on preparing a test environment.
One note: the demo data is simulated, so it won't provide live locations from a moving vehicle. If you need to test against live location updates, you'll need a device in a test database.
Have a good one!

Hello @EishiFUN
I wanted to test the geotab APIs on Demo vehicles but when I create the database, it always shows me bad password or credential after when I want to connect, there is a solution to that. Thank you
