hi Geotab devices don't natively send TAIP messages. To integrate them into a computer-aided dispatch (CAD) system, you need to use middleware: 1. Pull the positions from the Geotab cloud using the Data Feed API (the 'GetFeed' method for 'LogRecord'). 2. Convert that data to the TAIP format in your middleware. 3. Send the converted messages to the CAD system.

Third-party app for owner-operators: OAuth/delegated access, or a service-account user?

<a data-id="1143" data-value="DFenn-1143" data-denotation-char="@" href="/user/dfenn-1143" class="text-decoration-none mention">@DFenn-1143</a> I am not sure on the QA. I know a few months back they began pushing accounts to be real emails even on private apps and service accounts we were told to start migrating. You said you use fake emails anyway? I would pick a way that you can make work but I would count on having to have a real email just in case. You can just create a logic app to handle all incoming email to that one email account. It still satisfies the other requirements.

<a data-id="1044" data-value="EishiFUN" data-denotation-char="@" href="/user/eishifun" class="text-decoration-none mention">@EishiFUN</a> Thank you for the follow up. We have successfully added Geotabs OAuth to our mg-api-js wrapper for when the time comes but for now we will continue to run service accounts untillit hits the public documentation.

Now that geotab supports OAuth is it to early to add it to our integrations

Hi Team,We pull data for our fleet via the API. We call teh various api endpoints on a daily basis and ask for the last 48 hours of data, so every day there is an overlap of 24 hours in case any data is missed.Even doing that though, often we find that if we go back at month end and pull the whole month we fill in gaps with missing data. What's the best method of pulling the data from the geotab datasets to avoid this? We pull a lot of different callsevents, trips, odometers, engine hours, log status, etc etc. Would really appreciate knowing how we can pull the data using a reported date instead of the event date so we know we've got everything, thanks

Where can I find my credentials to connect Highway with my GeoTab

Hello. Recently, a customer has reached out asking if this is possible to have a plan or configuration that allow to have GO device data to be extracted to a third party software (customer's internal management software), but without having MyGeotab UI. I believe that due to security and quality reasons, it might not be possible. But just wanted to confirm.

No-software plan

We have 2 integrations that generate PDFs from an add-in in Geotab Drive, and to do it, we leverage this kind of link: https://my.geotab.com/test_database/#hosLogs,dateRange:(endDate:'2019-10-28T17:46:00.885Z',startDate:'2019-10-14T04:00:00.000Z'),driver:b12345,includeExemptions:!f,includeIntermediateLogs:!f,token:('userName':'johndoe','sessionId':'asdasdasdasdasdasdasd','database':'test_database') This has worked for 6+ years. Today when we generate the PDFs, customers have started getting blank pages. When I try to replicate in chromium locally, I am directed to the login screen. Has support for this kind of link been revoked?I tried to workaround the issue by setting geotabAPI_credentials and geotabAPI_server in localStorage, then navigating to the base URL, but still I am getting directed back to login. This might be related to the move to CIAM and oauth, but there was no communication around this change and support being removed. We use this daily and 30K+ drivers depend on it for compliance. Please advise.

Support for passing session token in URL removed??

Hello Geotab Support Team,We are integrating an external fleet management system with Geotab. We can read DVIR defect data, but we are unable to update the defect status in Geotab.Our goal is to push updates such as repaired or closed defects (stored in our internal system) into Geotab.We need confirmation on the following points: What is the correct object to update DVIR defects, DVIRLog or DVIRDefect What is the required API payload to update repairStatusType, repairDateTime, repairUser and repair notes Are there any required permissions or workflow constraints Do you have a working API example for updating a DVIR defectWe want to ensure proper synchronization between our system and Geotab for defect lifecycle management.Thank you for your support.

MyGeotab API support request to update DVIR defect status from external system

Hi all, Building a Charge Point/Energy Management System integration with MyGeotab. The demo DB we're developing against is all ICE, so we can't exercise the EV side (SoC, ChargeEvent, FuelAndEnergyUsed, EV diagnostics). Is there a partner-accessible demo or sandbox DB with EVs? Or has anyone solved this another way? Thanks,Ryan

MyGeotab Demo database with EV vehicles for integration testing?

We were notified by a customer a few days ago that they were experiencing some issues with our Geotab integration, and after some investigation, we determined that Rule Notification web requests started coming in with the "text/plain" Content-Type header, instead of "application/x-www-url-formencoded" as they usually do. This caused cascading failures for many of our customer integrations and required us to override the Content-Type header in API forwarding middleware wherever possible. The only event we've noticed that seems to correlate to that change is a database update from 11333.561 to 11333.585. The update was completed ~90 seconds after our telemetry indicates that the first webhook failures started. Is this an intentional change to the Content-Type header of notification web requests in a recent update, or should we be reporting this as a bug? I've tried to find release notes or other documentation specific to database version 11333.561 (or any database version, for that matter) but could only find info for general MyGeotab releases.

Web Request Notification Template Content Type Changed Unexpectedly

when we create a new database, we also add API's for the tachograph files to be sent to our other service provider Convey. Historically we were able to create and add a password to Convey and they would request the API. This was working all good. But I have been advised that we cannot setup passwords now and hence trying to fix this. So please advise as without password Convey cannot access the API
