Esri ArcGIS integration overview

Set up a feed to send MyGeotab data to ArcGIS Velocity.

1. Select the ArcGIS Velocity Geotab feed type that matches the data you want to send.
   • Geotab (DeviceStatusInfo)
   • Geotab (LogRecord)
2. Enter your MyGeotab connection details in the feed configuration wizard.
   1. Enter your MyGeotab server URL.
   2. Enter your database name.
   3. Enter your username.
   4. Enter your password.
   5. Enter any additional optional parameters.

Use the Geotab SDK to send vehicle location data to Esri.

1. Set up the API call in a program or language of your choice.
   1. Authenticate your session.
      Important:

      Authenticate every request that provides credentials with a password instead of, or combined with, a session ID. This ensures that each request counts toward your organization's authentication limits.

   2. Call GetFeed with the typeName parameter set to LogRecord.
      Tip:

      We recommend polling for data at 30-second intervals for constant polling. If 30 seconds is too infrequent for your vehicles' data generation rate, use the GetFeed rate limit of 1 request per second for each supported entity type.

      Tip:

      Add a sleep function to the loop that makes the GetFeed call to support constant polling and location updates.

      Note:

      You can also pair LogRecords with ExceptionEvents, for example to get specific logs when a vehicle is within a zone.

2. Send your call results to middleware, such as PostGIS, to transform the data into a format that ArcGIS Online or another Esri server can use.
   Note:

   The data from the call is in JSON format. Your middleware can transform the JSON data into another format, such as GeoJSON, to make it consumable by ArcGIS Online or another Esri server.

3. Create a connection between ArcGIS Online, or another Esri server, and your middleware software.
